    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.
