Question: Why does everyone on DSC talk like a cultist?

[ISS_Einstein]

"I feel in my heart that the solution lies in my destiny".

That kind of thing.

They deliver a report to a senior officer "Captain, sensors have detected the presence of a beam of pure hope on the surface". They break up with their partner "I feel we need to move apart, because our predestined paths have become like binary stars lost in themselves". They get up in the morning and order a coffee from the replicator "computer, give me a painting of my fate, in the form of a caffeinated ocean of beige".

Wait to do the hallucinogenic drugs until after the show is over.

Trekkies are a bizarre lot...

Starfleet is a cult... of explorers. Beams of pure hope would be like catnip to them.

 

[Lord Garth]

I wouldn't know what a cultist would sound like, so I'm not in a position to say.

 

[Hythlodeus]

As an evil cultist myself, I want to point out that we don't talk that way

Speak for yourself.

No one talks like that or has said anything remotely like that on the show, and it feels needlessly provocative. There's not even really a discussion topic here to grow on. Closed.
