True that. Discovery went down a path of increasingly ridiculous galaxy-spanning crises, which always got solved by the same crew…
I fucking laughed out loud when I called that “the burn” was straight up caused by some dude being extra lonely on a planet somewhere. And then the writers patted each other on their backs for such genius symbolism that I saw coming a mile away because that was just the kind of stupid I expected from Discovery by then.
Has someone made a crying montage yet? The show constantly has the characters get ultra-emotional as a crutch to add impact and tell the viewer “yo that’s super deep, feel some feelings now” and it didn’t work even once.
The show is excellently produced, and I enjoy a lot aspects of it, as well as some of the characters. But boy, I enjoyed the writing for all the wrong reasons.
