Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

It's like when they made Picard and discovery they couldn't decide what kind of show they wanted to make. Then someone was like "hey, what if we made star trek?" and strange new worlds was born

Yeah, that was my main problem with Discovery when it first came out. It had been so long since we'd had Star Trek, and then they made a new Star Trek show. I was so excited. And then they didn't do Star Trek.

Stamets convinced me to give it another shot though, and I'm on season 4 now, and since Season 3, it really has been Star Trek. I just watched an episode where the ship got captured, and they had to take it back by being clever and competent. And then they fought for the rights of a sentient computer. Really classic Trek scenarios. I like most of the characters now, and while it's still serialized, it's more episodic than it was. Season 3 episode 2 got me to really love three characters I previously didn't really even like.
