Discovery had it's moments.

From a Star Trek universe perspective it hit way too many lows, though. This is just my opinion, of course. I found it hard to sit through some episodes. The actors are generally great, but there is too much cheap dialogue (listen to some of the Season 2 and 3 "Picard" dialogue in comparison!), underdeveloped characters, statements like the above that were written without even considering how they might age... well, this was discussed ad nauseam in many places, so I'll stop the rant before it starts.

Thank you Discovery for showing us what doesn't work. Other shows learned from you.

I'm slightly talking out of my ass but I remember a while back that Elon was basically buying up a bunch of mentions and cameos in popular shows.
