They did. Not even once does it sound natural or like a thing she just says. They always stop and make it a close up and take a beat and she says it with extreme intensity.
I don’t think Disco is as bad as people make it out to be. I quite like most of it, in fact. But man, did they mess that part up.
The most frustrating thing for me about Discovery is that the stupid right-wing backlash to it has resulted in valid criticisms being ignored and lumped in with those.
Oh, add that to the list, for sure. You couldn’t talk about The Last Jedi, She-Hulk, Ms Marvel (and pretty much anything Disney, honestly). I feel like they tried with Glass Onion but then that was too good, so nobody cared.
But yeah, Disco was definitely in that list. It’s just that people had that argument anyway because Star Trek is not Star Wars. Hell, if anything I feel like any conversation about Trek that goes on sufficiently long over here ends up hitting up Disco’s pros and cons. I think the alt nerds just got bored of all the respectful nuance and move on.
The holograms used before TOS, hand-wavey “let’s forget all this ever happend and send you to the future”, extreme intensity that Michael Burnham says EVERYTHING with, everything being SO FREAKING DARK and ret-conning Star Trek lore (I’m related to Spok) is all what put me off - I just had to stop watching. Thing is, I had NO IDEA the actress that played Michael was Ronda in New Girl! - WOW , so different!! I thought she couldn’t act, it turns out she was given terrible material and direction. (all this in IMHO).
I don’t give much of a crap about the lore stuff at all. I do think Martin-Green was given the short end of the stick when it came to characterization and her overly earnest Starfleet persona wasn’t particularly good.
I do like the supporting cast, and while I think S5 is the weakest of the bunch, I did like S2-4 well enough. Certainly would watch it over any season of Picard, myself, but there is some wasted potential there, for sure.
