I strongly suspect Discovery was written and acted by people who have never seen actual shit or suffered trauma.

If they had, perhaps they would realise that people who've been through a lot are often the (seemingly) calmest or least emotional person in the room when shit hits the fan. It isn't their first rodeo. Or they're bitter and angry arseholes. Basically Jean Luc Picard or Liam Shaw are far more realistic portrayals of people who have gone through shit.

ADHD helps.

"I have experienced this moment 44 times in my head."

"Oh this argument? I was up late three nights in a row running through every possible iteration."

"Dude! Why were you so calm last night? That was a huge fire and you just sort of calmly grabbed your drink and bag and walked out the door. I saw it!

"I have experienced that moment more times than you can possibly imagine."

[-] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Discovery always struck me as a sci-fi show written by the same people who wrote Gilmore Girls, General Hospital, Greys Anatomy or any other dramatic series.

It’s the over the top Drama Trek.

Sisko seems like the type of guy that you invite to a party and he spends the whole evening in your kitchen because the marinara that came with your mozzarella sticks “doesn’t have enough kick to it”

[-] GoodbyeBlueMonday@startrek.website 15 points 11 months ago

Sisko can and should show up on SNW to help Pike get his jambalaya recipe just right, then vanish without any explanation other than that he needs to get back to his children and wife.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Sisko insists it's important to the future, but really he just can't personally accept the existence of sub-standard jambalaya at any point in history.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 11 months ago

Nor should he.

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

I suddenly have new aspirations, thank you!

[-] Damdy@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Kick should be in italics, then I could hear him saying that.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago

How can you forget Christopher "beep-beep" Pike?

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Or Carol Freeman?

Edit: it's a lot like Voyager's review, isn't it?

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

Review: "Ran by a former male supermodel, doesnt know how to use the replicator and cooks all his food. Sometimes stops speaking in the middle of a sentence and starts beeping."

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

They didn't have replicators by his time. I remember the TOS Enterprise had lots of pre-cooked meals on cargo, and preferring fresh stuff is perfectly reasonable.

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

People complaining that replicated food doesn't taste right is even a bit of a running gag on TNG and DS9.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Review: "Didn't say much, was not very encouraging. Would only answer questions with a yes or no."

[-] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Review so cold it could have been written by an andorian.

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 21 points 11 months ago

"a murder" implies only one

[-] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Not if it's in regards to crows.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Who besides Tuvix? Not fair to count Lon Suder’s crimes.

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Suspiciously the bodycams were off but i've heard the voyager crew was originally twice as large until she ran out of coffee the first time.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

She likes her coffee the way she likes her men.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Ground up and steeped in hot water?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Covered in bees.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

She did murder the wife of her holographic boyfriend.

Oh man discovery. It always seemed like it was written by that guy who was crying and screaming for people to leave Brittney alone.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

That was a guy?

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Huh....wasn't it?!

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

The eyeliner was flowing.

.... Or was it guyliner?

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I uh, looked it up, and I see why there was confusion. She's Trans

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Is she really?

I actually didn't know. The difference seemed trivial to me, and it still does. It really doesn't change their message or anything.

It never bothered me at all, nevermind bothering me enough to dig into information about them to figure it out; regardless, that's a nice thing to know in the situation.

I hope she's doing well.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I mean, usually when theres two names in wikipedia its because they transitioned from one to the other, to me she looks like her identified gender, but I guess I can see why others didnt. I just double checked with a quick google search, it wasnt an intense investigation

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

I can see why people cared. That's just not me.

I don't really think people's curiosity is just cause to violate her privacy. It's entirely up to her to decide to share that information or not.

I don't understand people's fascination with it. I'm fairly indifferent about people's genders or sexual preferences in general. You make the choice that suits you best, I'll do the same for me. If you want to be called he/she/they/whatever, then fine, that's cool. I'll do my best to respect your wish to be referred to by a particular title/pronoun. It makes no difference to me.

I'm also pretty indifferent about how people refer to me. Call me sir, miss, he, she, they, them, "hey you".... I don't honestly care. I'm fine with gender normative terms and that's what I tell people that I "prefer" but honestly, I could not care any less. I usually avoid gendered terms as much as I can when I'm in someone's presence; I'm also bad with names, so I usually just use personal direct pronouns such as "you". I try my best to side step the whole issue because it's trivial in my mind. I won't fault someone for caring about it, the same way I don't care if someone gets my name wrong, or says it differently. I don't care enough to correct them, and I don't care that it's wrong unless they need to enter my legal name into a thing for something, which is when it actually matters, legally, so I'll correct them at that point. The only other correction I'll make is to avoid confusion with coworkers. I work with some people who have similar sounding names to mine, so I'll correct clients and co-workers so that I'm not conflated with them (and I don't take flack for something they did, and they don't take flack for something I've done, etc). Beyond that, I couldn't care less. At the same time, people have gotten angry with me for pronouncing their name slightly wrong, so I know people are out there with very strong opinions on it.

Maybe I'm weird. Who knows. There's just so many more important things in the world than what people call me that I'm just consistently unbothered by people getting it wrong.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

All I did was look at "leave Brittany alone" on google and then click wikipedia. Everything I shared here is public info and thus I didnt invade anyones privacy? This comment chain has been fairly low importance/care, I dont think any of here care about her gender all that much more than you do. The last few comments where just about the awkward nature of potentially misgendering someone by accident

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I agree, this chain has mostly been about the awkward parts of it. I didn't mean to imply you invaded her privacy, someone may have in the pursuit of the information, but I certainly didn't mean to imply that was you.

Regardless, whether her privacy was invaded or not, the information is now out there about her, and that is what I had assumed you were referring to. The misunderstanding stems from my comments; specifically that when such a question is raised, some may seek that information quite enthusiastically, even if obtaining it means that you're invading their privacy. I don't know if that's what occurred, but the fervent pursuit of relatively trivial information, damaging someone's right to privacy in the process is questionable at best. I'm just trying to make a comment on the ethics and morals of those that desire information for no better reason than to have it about someone they don't even know.

I would rather not think that people would simply disregard her rights just to have a trivial question answered, but I don't have that much faith in humanity.

I'm certain you're fine and you've done nothing wrong in this instance. I apologize if my words implied any differently. That was not my intention.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Thats fair enough and a valid point! I do have a tendency to use the internet to double check facts, but in cases such that it might intrude on privacy, I try to keep it to a basic search so that I can minimize that risk. In this case it was just confusion on the presenting gender of a person from a meme, and so I double checked if I was the one in the wrong, turns out I was right in a way I wasnt expecting. I hope you have a pleasant day as well!

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well still the attitude seems like a discovery writer...if I changed my position that would be bad right?

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

Can we talk about the kids that Janeway had with Paris, that they just abandoned on some distant planet?

[-] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Say what now? Have I purged this episode from my mind?

[-] laverabe@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Dna altering future reptiles

[-] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Ohh yes that does ring a bell

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

2x15 "Threshold"

[-] Damdy@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sisko is the GOAT.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

if Sharn had called Sisko black skin he would have punched him so hard that Weyoun would have felt it.

Hey, a new planet. Maybe I can lick it?

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

So while not loving Discovery, it’s not so much the crying that got me, I just always feel like I’m watching therapy…innnn spaaaace. It just isn’t very interesting to me personally. I still found it enjoyable enough though.

[-] BigilusDickilus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I could sort of deal with that. I just didn't like how focused it was on Michael Burnham and how she is the most important person in the universe. Star Trek is supposed to be an ensemble show, and I would dare say that it shouldn't really have a main character with the understanding that the captain gets more focus generally. It also felt like the writers didn't really like Star Trek that much and there was a lot of stuff that didn't make sense if you poked at it.

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'd strongly argue against that last part considering Brian Fuller wrote for DS9 and was producer and writer for most of Voyager. Kurzman is also writer and producer for Picard and SNW.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Nothing about the fancy espresso bar #3 offers to all employees (all employees but her excepted)?

[-] laverabe@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I relate to Janeway the most. Like no coffee? Please cease talking until coffee... ...need coffee.

I mean you're 70000 light-years from Earth, it's ok to have some vices.
