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?

    Discovery I feel had some good storylines, but it had some of the most boring, forced, slow, touchy-feely character development I’ve seen.

    I remember there were plenty of people who complained about it’s “wokeness” because of how they zeroed in on the LGBT relationships and it really felt like the focus on the show was about relationships, not about the overarching journey.

    When you’re watching Voyager, it’s all about the journey and getting home, there’s relationships there, but they don’t take minutes at a time on screen, it’s mixed into the story in small bursts.

    I’m still keen to see how they wrap it up after the DMA storyline, maybe piecing the federation back together?
