I strongly suspect Discovery was written and acted by people who have never seen actual shit or suffered trauma.
If they had, perhaps they would realise that people who've been through a lot are often the (seemingly) calmest or least emotional person in the room when shit hits the fan. It isn't their first rodeo. Or they're bitter and angry arseholes. Basically Jean Luc Picard or Liam Shaw are far more realistic portrayals of people who have gone through shit.
ADHD helps.
"I have experienced this moment 44 times in my head."
"Oh this argument? I was up late three nights in a row running through every possible iteration."
"Dude! Why were you so calm last night? That was a huge fire and you just sort of calmly grabbed your drink and bag and walked out the door. I saw it!
"I have experienced that moment more times than you can possibly imagine."
Discovery always struck me as a sci-fi show written by the same people who wrote Gilmore Girls, General Hospital, Greys Anatomy or any other dramatic series.
It’s the over the top Drama Trek.
Sisko seems like the type of guy that you invite to a party and he spends the whole evening in your kitchen because the marinara that came with your mozzarella sticks “doesn’t have enough kick to it”
Sisko can and should show up on SNW to help Pike get his jambalaya recipe just right, then vanish without any explanation other than that he needs to get back to his children and wife.
I suddenly have new aspirations, thank you!
Kick should be in italics, then I could hear him saying that.
How can you forget Christopher "beep-beep" Pike?
Or Carol Freeman?
Edit: it's a lot like Voyager's review, isn't it?
Review: "Ran by a former male supermodel, doesnt know how to use the replicator and cooks all his food. Sometimes stops speaking in the middle of a sentence and starts beeping."
Review: "Didn't say much, was not very encouraging. Would only answer questions with a yes or no."
Review so cold it could have been written by an andorian.
"a murder" implies only one
Sisko is the GOAT.
if Sharn had called Sisko black skin he would have punched him so hard that Weyoun would have felt it.
That basically sums it up.
Team Archer right here! ^^
Hey, a new planet. Maybe I can lick it?
So while not loving Discovery, it’s not so much the crying that got me, I just always feel like I’m watching therapy…innnn spaaaace. It just isn’t very interesting to me personally. I still found it enjoyable enough though.
I could sort of deal with that. I just didn't like how focused it was on Michael Burnham and how she is the most important person in the universe. Star Trek is supposed to be an ensemble show, and I would dare say that it shouldn't really have a main character with the understanding that the captain gets more focus generally. It also felt like the writers didn't really like Star Trek that much and there was a lot of stuff that didn't make sense if you poked at it.
I'd strongly argue against that last part considering Brian Fuller wrote for DS9 and was producer and writer for most of Voyager. Kurzman is also writer and producer for Picard and SNW.
Nothing about the fancy espresso bar #3 offers to all employees (all employees but her excepted)?
I relate to Janeway the most. Like no coffee? Please cease talking until coffee... ...need coffee.
I mean you're 70000 light-years from Earth, it's ok to have some vices.
