    Why is it that every time that Discovery is mentioned, that someone ABSOLUTELY COMPULSIVELY HAS TO SHART IN THE MOST SPLASHING WAY POSSIBLE on it?!?

    Does it burn so much in their mind for them to react like this at the mere mention of a show? Had the idea of having a successful empowered black female captain with emotions, traumatized them so much? Or is it that they feel so attacked in their masculinity?

    I have rarely seen so much vile and intolerant totalitarian comments than on Star Trek subs. Then again, it’s true that I don’t go on X or Truth Social.

      Burnham’s whole story was “you are the chosen one” which is completely unentertaining for star trek. Her gender doesn’t have to make me like bad writing.

      Janeway was much better written. And while animated, Captain Freeman was written well too.

        When was she the chosen one? Season 1 made a point of showing that the guy who had been buttering her up about destiny was secretly orchestrating things.

          That was the entire plot of the final season.

          Season 1-2 she actually had a good enjoyable arc and some character growth. Season 3 on was a steady decline for her and honestly many of the other characters

      As with the stray downvotes I recieve for Koala knows what reason, I learned let it go. Let them stew in their anger.

      Straight white male here, as another person said Voyager and Lower Decks both had strong female leads and both were great shows that I’ve watched every episode of.

      The hate for Discovery is because it betrays the cannon built over decades by people who clearly didn’t understand Star Trek. The has nothing to with the gender of the main cast, it’s the terrible writing and betrayal of what Star Trek stands for.

      I haven’t sharted all over it yet, but that’s only because the massive turbo lift dimension was so bloody dumb that I can’t remember a single other thing about it.
