I dislike Discovery, not true to Gene's vision.
It stopped being sci-fi and started being fantasy when they started with magical tardigrades and "time bugs". The rest plays like a space marines series.
Edit: also the spark and flame throwers on the bridge make it look like GWAR concert.
What exactly is negative mass?
Yeah but it sounds a lot better than "We've pursued a policy of understaffing to save costs".
As one of the geeks who built these phone systems back in the '90s, it's one of my biggest regrets that I didn't do this.
Yes, for politicians the cost is always lower to kick the can into the next administration's term. Unfortunately it becomes more and more expensive for the rest of us.
I think it's also about depleting Russia to the maximum extent possible.
I thought PS5 and switch were some of the best selling consoles of all time? Just because they are in the later part of their generation now doesn't change that.
No one could have possibly seen this outcome!

That's kind of exactly what I don't like about it and part of why I call it a "space marines" series. Gene's vision is of a future where different life forms come together and work under a unified code and for the greater good. It's not about one person rising to power and being the hero.
It feels like they are trying to graft the Star Wars theme onto Star Trek with hand wavey magical "forces" that don't have even the most tenuous link to science, and singular heroes that make anything that's worth happening happen. The original series at least tried to give a nod to the scientific consensus and then try to extrapolate it out.
