And then a man child had a temper tantrum and destroyed galactic civilization single-handedly. Sure. Okay. Have fun with the rest of the show, but that’s where I turn in for the night.

I felt the same way, at first. Then I realized that we have other things in the Trek canon that asks as much suspension of disbelief:

  • “God” lives at the center of the galaxy and is a right bastard. Also happens to resemble Chuck Heston as Moses.
  • Psychics and psychic abilities are a thing
  • V’ger
  • Q and the continuum
  • Whatever species Guinan is, and their supernatural temporal sensitivity
  • Tachyons and the rest of the fictional subatomic zoo
  • Mirror Universe
  • Time travel, but mostly to whatever year the show was made, and for the occasional Deus Ex Machina device
  • SPACE FUNGUS

Edit: my head-canon for the weirdness of Disco’s first season is that they really wanted it to be the start of a Kelvin-verse TV reboot, but were coy about it.

Edit 2: I forgot about the Kardashev Type 3 civilization of robots living just outside our galaxy, that will turn the Milky Way into a lifeless wasteland if anyone so much as prank calls them. But they made their digits really hard, but possible, to find.

Not just aliens. Alien, aliens.

While hardly a first for Star Trek, it’s always a treat when alien-looking, and alien-acting, aliens show up.

The season had a good pace, but in my heart, I wanted more. I really feel like it would have made a fun (if not nerdy) season if we had a few more episodes decoding mysteries and getting to know this new culture and species.

Indeed. “StarTrek+” is rapidly becoming my favorite streaming service.

Agreed. We don’t need any more computer bad guys. Besides, Daystrom appears to be tight on evil supercomputer AI storage as it is.

Oh no.

It’s another menagerie, isn’t it?

Edit: that or the Pakleds started hiring subcontractors.

I want to disagree with this but… you’re right. Heck, in Raiders, Jones actively makes the entire situation worse before the story kind of fixes itself.
