Does this mean we can't have Pearly King Patrick Stewart? Oh Jesus, again with the Klingons, um, sorry for the bum wipe.

I meanwhile will be doing what I've done for the last five years every time Discovery airs: not watching it and shitposting in this thread about other things until an actual good Star Trek show emerges once it's finished. Wake me when Lower Decks, Strange New World or Prodigy are back.

Discovery is fun to watch even when it's still bad. They at least have a very slow upward trajectory. Plus it's "season 5" in dog years but they're really just a ways into season 3 in real seasons.

drat, I really liked the last two seasons of Discovery. And this is after I dropped it for a couple of years because season two was possibly the worst season of television I've ever sat through in my life.

Bad TV can be more fun to watch than mediocre TV. I don’t care for Lower Decks. I still watch it, but it’s very mediocre overall. A couple episodes have been decent, and I think one episode I’ve found pretty good. Versus Discovery that’s terrible every episode and constantly makes me laugh by how bad it is. When Book and Genius-man sneak onto Discovery into a hallway where the lights are freaking out like the TNG warp core is so inept it’s wonderful. Not that I’d ever watch one, but if you think of it like a NASCAR race, Lower Decks to me is just a bunch of people driving in a circle not doing anything particularly great, just going, but not crashing. Discovery has half the drivers going around the track backwards. I can’t turn away.

That's fine, as long as they don't insist it's some kind of objective fact about Lower Decks like some do.

I don't think I went that far that but I will stand by S1 Mariner being awful and the changes since then aren't 'character development' but the show finding its feet and moving away from what it thought it wanted to be back then.

Disagree, because all of the recent Mariner stuff was pretty clearly seeded heavily from the start. But I do think they have tuned presentation as they found themselves.

I remember watching the first few LDSes and being like "god this is terrible" but I saw so many people, everywhere, hype it up that I went back to give it another shot and for the most part I couldn't even tell what it was I didn't like (the power of expectations perhaps) BUT I will say that Mariner is extremely annoying in the pilot.

I don't hate Disco. I don't like it very much, but it's pretty to look at and sometimes they do an okay episode. Last season had three?four? good episodes and then a bunch of boring mess between them, I'm assuming season 5 will be similar. But with how much Disco changes year to year who the gently caress knows, maybe it'll be good this time.

The character hasn't actually grown, they've done the comedy show thing of pretending to have growth while secretly resetting everything after the episode ends because the core character traits and the resulting cast dynamics are where all the comedy comes from. And that's not really a bad thing, it's why every comedy show does this!

I always say that the pilot episode is how they got the suits to agree to the show before quickly pivoting from "what if family guy was star trek" to "TNG in 25 minutes".
