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."

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”

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 1 year 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.

Nor should he.

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

I suddenly have new aspirations, thank you!

[-] Damdy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] teft@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or Carol Freeman?

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

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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

"a murder" implies only one

[-] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not if it's in regards to crows.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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

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 1 year ago

She likes her coffee the way she likes her men.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Ground up and steeped in hot water?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Covered in bees.

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

She did murder the wife of her holographic boyfriend.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Damn! Today I learned…

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

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

The eyeliner was flowing.

.... Or was it guyliner?

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

Team Archer right here! ^^

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.

[-] laverabe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.
