Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

And there's plenty to like as well. But once again, thanks for looking at this posts description about positivity and flagrantly ignore it to give throwaway negative comments. You did the same thing over on another post earlier of someone saying they like Discovery. I'm so tired of this hatefilled focus on Discovery. So many people here are able to share their opinions about not liking Discovery respectfully and without randomly throwing it in everyones faces. Why do people like you have to always double down and drill in that hatred everytime it's even mentioned? You're just... exhausting.

My main issue with Discovery was that it never felt like Star Trek. I always called it BBC’s Trek through the Stars because to me it felt like a BBC drama set in a vaguely Trek like universe. It was a good show, just didn’t FEEL like Trek. Strange New Worlds though? Feels just like the Trek I miss

It was very drama heavy. I feel like they focused a bit too much on the meta plot.

BBC is a good comparison, similar to Dr Who and Sherlock vibe. People who enjoy those I imagine would like the Kurtzman trek shows.

I like Discovery. I'm a little behind on it I think (maybe?) But it's entertaining. Later seasons, you can tell that the writers got some inspiration from DS9 and Voyager, because that's how it feels.

Lower Decks is grand, and doesn't feel like it's Trek, but it is, and it's definitely new.

My main issue was that they constantly broke protocol in a way no captain would have tolerated. They didn't seem like professionals at all.

In other shows people were demoted from a fraction of what happened on the discovery. And Michael actually gets rewarded for this behavior.

I don't know if that gets better after they join the new federation, I never made it this far

Sorry, I actually didn't even see the description. But I don't think I overstate my dislike of the show, it's just a part of the topic that there will be people not liking it.

You are obviously a huge fan of the show, which is fine, but that doesn't mean I have to be.

Michelle Yeoh made up for all my complaints. I could never get enough of her.
