So glad we didn't get this ugly garbage heap

That I doubt lol

I mean it makes sense, right?

Oh god how did I forget to write a tweet about her...

And then when they do make a serialized show instead of an episodic one everyone complains about people being moody due to the trauma established previously ¯_(ツ)_/¯

A 2013-2016 British Sitcom starring Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Iwan Rheon called Vicious. Ian and Derek play an old gay couple who've been together for 50 years and are, well, vicious to each other. Fucking hysterical show if for no reason than to see Ian camp it up. Also really appreciate grabbing two famous gay actors to play the parts.

Cannot help but love how good they are.

Edit: Of course there was no response. Because there are no examples. It's just a dog whistle for bigots.

This again is one of those complaints thats constantly parroted but just isn't rooted in the reality of the show. It's not factually accurate by even the largest stretch of the imagination.

1. The mutiny at the start in the first episode. She is proven immediately false and that her actions of firing first would have caused a war with all the Klingons warping in just to see Starfleet fire first.

2. She (along with Lorca and a few others) make the mistake of trusting Ash Tyler. Something that isn't fully shared. Saru has apprehensions until the divide has been made and even then is cautious.

3. She keeps trying to keep to Federation Ideals while in the Mirror Universe and is proven repeatedly wrong that they don't apply. She might be able to apply them to herself but no one else from that world and it ends up with her nearly broken from it.

4. She spends most of the episodes she's with Spock just outright ignoring him and going on her own path of what she thinks is right. During the Talos IV episode Spock even in a state of catastrophic mental instability is even annoyed by her arrogance at thinking she's right when she's not. Episode also shows her basically arguing with the Talosians and Spock having to say "Just fucking do it."

5. She brings Georgiou back from the Terran Universe and in doing so a planet is almost rendered uninhabitable.

6. She refuses to kill Ariam, insisting that she can save her anyway. She ignores orders and in doing so almost allows Control to complete its mission and kill Burnham and everyone else on board. If it wasn't for Nhan, all sentient life would be dead.

7. Throughout Season 2 she is constantly misunderestimating Control and how they can get rid of it. She's often just as onboard with everyone elses wrong notions as she is wrong on her own. She often goes along with the ideas of how to trap it or stop the sphere but is consistently proven incorrect.

8. As mentioned previously, she constantly shoulders all burdens and pushes through them like they are her own. She is proven incorrect there repeatedly too.

And those are just the ones I can think of off hand from the first two seasons. If I actually looked back at episode synopsis and jogged memory I'd find far, far more. A significant portion of her character is constantly being wrong and learning from those mistakes.

You can not like the show all you want. Not trying to convince anyone to like the show. I'm just tired of seeing complaints that just aren't based in what the show does or what happens in it.

Because Wesley was a stand in for Genes son basically. Wesley had a lot of unearned praise or unearned moments where he ends up saving the day or having a vital role in something that he just shouldn't. The other characters had earned their place but he didn't. He was just annoying and there. The reason I don't like him is because he just feels like a fanfic character that was shoved into the show.

I've heard so many complaints about Discovery over the years. Hundreds.

Cheap is a new one.

DO IT YOU PUSSIES

Discovery did update the look of the Ferengi for the 32nd Century, looked kinda cool in my opinion. I can handwave a lot of stuff from Season 3 onwards of Discovery because it's nearly a thousand years ahead of what TNG/VOY/DS9 are at. Things gonna change so meh, tweaks like that don't bother me so much.

I will 100% admit to absolutely fucking hating Discovery when it was originally launched. The Klingons were one of the reasons although not a primary one. Took a while for me to come around and even now I'm like "Eh, I don't mind it." I did appreciate trying to alien them up a little bit more while trying to keep some stuff the same. Season 2 had an okay blend of that.

No. Fuck you. We reject him. We have standards.

Sincerely, the gay community.
