non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow
Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!)
Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)
MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.
Not Valid:
Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).
Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).
ha! That's excellent. I was not in a position time-wise to watch DSC S1 when it actually aired, so I missed all these shenanigans. In retrospect it's probably the best trek to binge (which I did) since many episodes feel more like parts of a movie instead of being self contained. I'm a fan of all trek, even Enterprise. :D
From my perspective, I didnt start to appreciate it until the final season and then I wasnt even that bummed because I knew I wouldnt have to hear budget rod Stewart sing over an old Timey map with crew member power point transitions
I don't know I'm not really into TOS, it was too campy for me. I liked TNG just fine, something about ENT really had like a rough, we're doing real first time exploration kind of vibes to it which I really enjoyed.
This conversation is too Daystrom for Risa. I'll agree to disagree :old man shakes fist at clouds:
because I can't stop me:
Mushroom warp was "bat shit crazy" to pretty much everyone.
the last ship that tried it disappeared, presumed lost with all hands.
Section 31 probably has the whole story locked in a cabinet next to Mirror Universe Spock's Goatee.
I think there was a whole plot about how using it hurts the thing that is the mushrooms? So like, ethically, that's a no go.
By the end of Voyager, the Federation is beginning to understand how to build trans warp gateways (Borg tech) which is, at least practically, close enough to mushroom warp that it's good enough.
Okay so you'll notice I didn't have any specific criticisms of discovery listed, and people in this thread are calling me a bigot, dismissing my opinion, and being general assholes to me.
There also is someone who comes in, implied that the legitimate criticisms that have nothing to do with identity politics are BS and the real reason OP doesn't like Discovery is that they are a bigot.
I genuinely don't understand this question. What "that" are you referring to, what "it" are you referring to, who's "they", what's "normal" for "they"?, and what "it", again.
