    I tried to watch Discovery. Forced myself through season one and only could manage a few episodes in season two.

    The writing is just so bad, I can’t handle it. This coming from someone that regularly rewatches older Trek and DOESN’T SKIP the few awful episodes.

      I forced myself through every episode. It picked up and I got kinda into it and then crying space baby shit happened and threw it all away.

        By the point we saw the crying space baby, my expectations were already very low 😂

        The whole concept of The Burn annoyed me from the beginning. It’s not that it makes less sense than warp drive or subspace comms, but it somehow didn’t fit with the established “science” of Star Trek.
