he is the worst regular in all of the treks I have seen (TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT)

his whole thing is representing White american baby boomer dudes

boring as shit

doesn't belong in space

Torres can do so much better.

I don't believe this shit about being such a hot shot pilot.

I think he was sent by the CIA.

    its kinda wild how they would run things like discovery for many seasons and episodes but when they actually have a good show they do it for 4 seasons 10 episodes each which is like fucking nothing

      They both had equal amounts of seasons. I agree with the sentiment tho. Disco was dead mid season 2, no pun intended, but lower decks has LEGS. That show could have just kinda kept going. George Takei even said so after appearing.

        They both had 5 seasons, but Disco got more episodes per season and longer episodes too. Probably double or more the actual runtime.

      Yeah, seriously. At least they haven't axed Strange New Worlds yet, but it was painful going back and watching Discovery only to find out that SNW was a spinoff of that dumpster fire. Here's hoping that the new Michelle Yeoh Trek project doesn't turn out to be absolute ass, but I'm not holding my breath. It seems weird to me that this is the first Trek movie since the Abrams reboot movies.

        According to early screeners, Section 31 is not very good

        One said it was "painfully stupid"

          When section 31 was introduced they were meant to be like the CIA (bad)

          But in our post 9/11 world, they're meant to be like the CIA (good)

          I'm going to watch it, because I'm a good little piggy and I appreciate my slop, but I'm not expecting much.

            Yeah, with its troubled production and the shift from a miniseries to a direct-to-streaming movie, it sounds like an absolute train wreck

        Nothing at all against Yeoh but her character was the absolute worst part of Discovery for me so I have negative hope for the thing centered on her.

          Oh, it was just more trash on the trash heap, but at least she was having fun with it. That, I can get behind. But yeah, those first few seasons leaned way too hard on mirror universe shit.

            It's not just that there's a lot of mirror universe shit, it's that the Rick Berman created space CIA hires mirror universe cannibal super Hitler to Make Hard Choices for them

          I did try watching disco, the earlier seasons, 2 or 3 times, but I couldn't get it and/or what I did get I hated. It was a mess and mostly I don't remember it but I do recall that character making some stupid as fuck gay jokes about the mirror universe. They seemed intended to make her seem cool and didn't work. in my mind.
