Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.

I loved the idea of the dilithium shortage, and the mystery of why was a nice touch. Until they solved the mystery with such an unsatisfying answer.

One problem is that there's like a dozen different ways to go FTL that don't require dilithium at this point. All the refined dilithium going boom at once would be a major disaster, of course, but it should be a temporary setback.
