When you finally get to watch Discovery and realize it isn't actually an enormous pile of mugato dung

It's pretty bad. Comparing it to other Trek or not. Writing is atrocious. Much of the acting is bad. Crying Captain crying damn near every episode. Not developing much of the bridge crew over 5 years. Not to mention not remembering their own rules (I remember once they said they couldn't jump while cloaked, and then they did it).

Stamets, Saru, and Georgiou were they only ones that kept me watching.

If others can find joy in it, sounds good to me, but I'll pass thanks.

Personally, I was overall disappointed with DIS. But when watching it there was the occasional moment that I loved. Lorca was a great character (until they did the haha he's actually super space Hitler rug-pull), much of the props, set designs, and costumes were great, Mudd was superb, it introduced us to Anson Mount's Pike and led to SNW, Saru was genuinely one of the most interesting characters in all of Trek, etc.

It also had a bunch of stuff that I just really really didn't like. But meh. That's just, like, my opinion maaaaann.

It's almost like people throw a fit over everything new for little reason other than not what they're used to. TNG was whined about. Ds9. Voyager. Discovery is in good company. Still Trek, no matter what anyone whines otherwise

My main complaint is common to Picard: I don't think the season long arcs were a good idea. I felt like maybe that had enough story for a "two parter" but stretched out to a season because "streamers binge".

I did watch it, that's how I know I don't like it it didn't take everyone else's views and make them my own.

Dunno what show you watched. But I thought it was trash.

Yeah, my only complaints with it overall are the insanely high stakes every season. The format of the show is hyper-serialized by design, so each season is a 10-13 hour movie which appears to make "high stakes" a requirement. Once you accept that and go along for the ride, it is quite enjoyable.

That said, I do prefer the episodic format of SNW and LD.

Is discovery the one with the weird looking Klingons?

But it is. Very much so.

It sucks soooo much.

I think a lot of the criticism of DISCO is overblown. It’s definitely a fun watch, but it never really feels like Star Trek. It feels like an action sci-fi show wearing a heavy coat of Star Trek paint.

It was good once I accepted it for what it is and stopped expecting it to be something like what I generally expect Star Trek to be.

It’s the only Star Trek show I’ve struggled to get through. It became the show I put on in the background while I was ironing my laundry.

I’ve watched everything else except Enterprise and Prodigy.

Stamets is one of the better parts of the show, though.

I thought Disco was pretty good, but it kept diverging further and further from what feels like Star Trek

Care to elaborate? Didn't watch it yet, this is an honest question.

My personal highlight in DIS was the start of S3, when Burnham amd Book were cruising around with his ship. I thought "Yeah, that could be nice. Star Trek that's not playing on a Federation ship? That could be a nice change of pace". Then two episodes later they abandonded that and returned to the same old.

I thought this was about the discovery channel... and didn't understand anything from the comments

Until you ACTUALLY watxh it, and discover(y) that it's an enormous pile of sucking Donkey balls

I absolutely heckin' loved it

Michelle Yeoh carried the show in the episodes she appeared in. Otherwise it is Bantha poodoo.

Right? It's pretty solid.

I think it's a shame the show ended on a bit of a downer, but season 1 is underrated and 2-4 are actually very watchable. I think my power rankings are 4>2>3>1>5, but I could change that in a rewatch.

My reaction when someone says they don't like Disco:

I really wish it had gotten seven seasons. By the end the episodes were getting really good, and I think they could have made it great with more time

I find the first seasons pretty good, than it turns weird and then lukewarm.

Ugh, I would jump in the reactor and realign the warp core for Stamets any day.

Gonna mark this account as a Stamets alt. Lmao

I really loved Discovery. It had a couple of weird issues (stupid turbolift fight while appearing to flow through ridiculously empty space), but for the rest, it was amazing.

My issue is with the camera work. There is way too much camera movement and it makes me physically uncomfortable to watch.

Oh hey, someone found a kumato?

Some good, but many many meh episodes.

To be frank.. if I had to choose between Discovery and Enterprise, I'd take Enterprise.

Haters will always whine about what they hate. If you enjoy something they don't it causes them pain.

Except it is. I gave up watching after the third episode
