Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

First like 5 episodes they already have sexism, and ableism, as well as referencing Elon musk as well as capturing a creature and using it for there own agenda, like wtf is this? Does it ever become less shitty or should I just skip it?

Regarding your issues with season 1. Keep watching. I don't want to spoil anything but there's a reason that specific character seems to be wholely evil and out of place in a post scarcity gay space communist utopia.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't good Trek, honestly I'd almost argue it's bad Trek, but if you're looking for some high production value star Trek in an alternate dimension (finale of LD recanonized Disco as alternate universe content) then it can be worth a watch. The show (imo) is not worth continuing after they make their jump through the wormhole (you'll know, it slows down to a crawl and turns the grimdark up to 11)

Oh, I was actually relieved after the jump. To me, nothing can be as bad as the terrible illogical red angel plot.

I'm gonna be honest I completely forgot about that awful plot until you mentioned it here.

Sorry, some things should stay forgotten.
