I have no issue talking about it. I just know the end.

Right, sure.
I believe a ship can be run as discovery is. I know emotions are not evil and can be processed in the workplace. I know this isn't everyone's experience and won't change minds
I just think it hurts the show, the way they did it.
Fair enough. I don't because I see this style of writing reflected everywhere. Strikes me as dramatic but no more so than current productions. Doesn't take away from my enjoyment.
No all of them are human. But in real life I have yet to experience this much crying, gushing and congratulatory feels from this many people all the time. Lol.

You should get out more.
I have. It's part of being human, and the human adventure. Nothing funny about it.
It would be absolutely dishonest of the writers to depict the characters of DIS going through what they've gone through with less emotional expression.
Because emotions are the key to good storytelling.
People routinely lobbed the same complaint against DIS S1 and S2.
DIS does not do the thing earlier ST shows did where they would portray stoicism and abusive authoritarianism like what you just describe as a good thing. Suppressing your feelings and answering orders with a "yes sir!" is not actually a good thing outside of immediate emergencies.
Have you come damn near close to dying with co-workers with whom you are trapped in outer space in a large tin can before sacrificing your ability to ever go home or see your family again by traveling a thousand years into the future with said co-workers as your only links to the world you grew up in, before discovering that your nation had virtually collapsed in the interim and needed to be rebuilt?
'Cos if you haven't, I don't really think your life experiences are applicable.
Some people have very bad taste.
I don't think you realize that there is a command structure and there's supposed to be a sense of duty. You can't just have the crew gushing all the time, that won't work and it's unrealistic.
Sure.
I don't see anything abusive about it. That's the way it's worked for centuries. That's just reality.
Just because something has been done for centuries doesn't mean it should keep being done.
Ah, Clichés. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Indeed. As new information becomes available changes and adaptations are appropriate. Especially regarding mental health.
It almost like, gosh... They went through 3 universe shaking crisis and losing their entire timeline and lost fellow crewman and families, and had a captain from the Mirror Universe who turned on them, and another one who went back in time, but wasn't their real former captain, and had several others die...and oops, I guess an unprecedented series of those things means a stiff upper lip? Got it.
I laugh when I see such 1-dimensional views from trekkies about such things. It's good to be alive and oblivious eh?
But they have each other!
Phsshhaw...trauma. just walk it off...
I'm writing a book right now where the main character goes through a ton of trauma. I make sure he reflects on the consequences of his actions, but if he moped about it through the entire thing...it would be boring. You need tension, levity, awe...the whole range of human emotion.
