I started watching Star Trek Discovery. The vibe of the show thus far is pretty fashy and reactionary. There's always been some good discussion on the nature of the federation and and it's politics and methods, but so far it feels sinister. I've gotten vibes like this from other shows, it's like the underlying ideology is embracing the darkest lines of thought and going with that like it's a good thing.
And they fucking mention Elon Musk, I'm so God damn sick of hearing about that piece of shit. Is nothing sacred? Anyway, Strange New Worlds doesn't give off that vibe, there's more optimism and dreams and holding to noble values.
The show gets better in season 3, although I still think it's a pretty poorly written show. For example, what is this character's name?
I assume she must have been referred to by name on the show and I'm bad at remembering names but I still usually know all kinds of characters' names after watching 3 seasons of a show. I probably could not tell you the name of the majority of characters on this show.
I haven't seen anything after that season 3. The writers have plausible deniability on that Musk bit though.
That's Detmer. She's great
