I feel like a terrible human. I thought exactly the same, and had already scrolled on past. My short-term memory loop made me scroll back up a couple seconds later.

Nice UI, thx.
I like this POV. Meh pizza is still pizza, better than most other things.
Less than stellar Futurama is still going to wind up being my favorite current television show.
Interesting news.
The books were a rich, fertile field of great sci-fi ideas. Curious to see how it translates. Also holding low expectations, as adaptations never quite live up to the books, even when they still deliver a good story.
As a result of trials and eventual successes, I myself am able to expand without really much effort.
I have to agree with OP.
Discovery had fantastic writing, great acting, some of my favorite characters ever (both relatable and not-but-I-want-to-know-them-better). Also stunning effects.
That said, I see the crtirique that it's not "Star Trek" and I understand that viewpoint. But I always saw it as part of the same universe, just the part OG Trek didn't focus on. Kinda like DS9 wanted to be.
So Discovery carved itself a niche in my version of the Trekverse, and I will always be happy it did. (Not to start arguments, but I liked it sooooo much better than Enterprise).

Well, Earth is where I keep all my stuff, but there are some shiny rocks on Mars.
As a geologist, it is maddening when people assume I know about something archaeological.
Or when they assume I know where to find gemstones for free lying on the ground.
I still lurk. I expected the slow decline and change in character that others here have predicted.
What I have seen in the last 8 days floored me. Continues to floor me. Reddit is already a zombie platform. Front page is week-old posts. Bot generated reposts from 2 weeks ago.
And astroturf posts trying to spin the whole thing as a "what was that blip?" Or "glad those whiners are gone"
It happened so much faster than I expected.
