Ah yes, famously apolitical Star Trek (cdn.discordapp.com)

Discovery has problems (I still like that show), but being woke it not one of them...

For me it was all the screaming.

And crying!

Sounds like humanity hasn't evolved from modern day.

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This. I don't watch Discovery anymore because I couldn't stand a lot of the characters but it had absolute nothing to do with progressive views.

This! I could not stand the characters, just not my group of people I guess, which is fine. I don't hate the show, it's just not for me and I'm ok with that.

It's got a very TOS-style of writing and story to it.

I remember seeing a fair few people pitch a fit about the Burn, for example, even though "angry man has a tantrum and nearly blows up the universe", and "child with godlike powers" are common TOS plots.

They tried something new, which I don't mind them for, but I don't think it mixed well with people being used to more TNG-styles plots, and the writing not being that great. Still, it managed to help kickstart the modern revival of Trek, and gave us (non-wheelchair) Captain Pike, so it wasn't all bad.

What?! You have problems with adventures of Commander Mary-Sue? 😜

I can practically imagine the upcoming scene:

Q: Ever wondered why you don’t belong? How you cannot fit it?
Burnham: stoic glare
Q: It’s because you are…. MY DAUGHTER
Burnham: stoicest of glares
Fade out to commercials

Burnham: I've been raised by Vulcans, that's why I'm always acting logical. Next scene: Burnham starts another intergalactic war with her erratic behaviour.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Eh idk if she was ever portrayed as logical the same way Vulcans often are, more like emotionally distant masquerading as logical. I'm not the biggest Disco fan (except season four) but I felt she did a really good job of playing a human who was raised in a society where people don't express themselves.

HEY! That's Captain Mary-Sue! Honor and respect her promotion and the fact that the then-current captain was willing to step aside... conveniently.

Also that no one gives a rats ass about protocols anymore or she would be in the Briggs instead where she belongs
