I really don’t understand the hate this show got. I really enjoyed it! A unique concept, story driven - season long plot arcs, great acting, incredible visuals, and fantastic characters. Sure there was some goofy stuff in there too, but star trek always has goofy shit.
I really felt like this was going to be a turning point of bringing star trek out of the ‘everything-contained-in-an-episode’ nonsense, and into the golden age of storytelling.
What did you think about it?
Agreed. I love Discovery, despite/because/whatever the occasional cheese and the overflow of Michael’s tears. I really enjoyed the fact that they went what some people want to belittle under the term woke. To me, they went empathetic, emotionally healthy. Not using emotional immaturity to create artificial, clumsy plot suspense through the characters acting foolishly/immaturely. It’s the Federation… they 100% are woke. Empathy and understanding and patience are qualities they’d prioritize to succeed both as a civilization and at smaller scale a crew, and it’s nice to see the characters act accordingly. I get enough toxic stupidity in my daily contemporary life. It’s nice to dream about humans improving in wisdom. Thanks, Discovery.
Discovery as an idea of a show would work way better in a starwars universe rather than star trek. Star trek shows usually at least pretend to care about science. Discovery threw that out the window right from the start, and excelled at keeping anything scientific miles away. Not trying to diss the show, but wrong universe imho.
