I have already stated my reasons. I love star trek and to see a mediocre product put out with amateur writing damages the brand. I don't want the brand damaged.
Well good thing it hasn’t been.
Come down off that cross. You're only embarrassing yourself.
I don't feel embarrassed at all.
Calling Discovery "mediocre" is too generous.
Strange New Worlds is mediocre.
Had it not been for the words "Star Trek" in the title, Discovery would have been cancelled after one season.
Yeah. I surprised it was renewed after that first season. It didn't resemble star trek at all.
Dollhouse made me realize what an incredible actor Alan Tudyk is.
First season was so amazing and fresh, so it's mostly my favorite. And I was so happy to see Star Trek again! Second season had Pike and Spock and Una and I loved trying to figure out what was going on. 3rd is probably my least favorite, but I liked it more than it seems most people did. I loved the resolution of season 4.
^^^^This!^^^^
Even if they made a Star Trek I absolutely loathed, I would wish it success because *that* is "good for the brand". And it would be *someone's* favorite. I used to be snobby about things I don't like, but age has brought an *itsybitsyteenytiny* bit of maturity and I (try to) no longer piss on other people's parades.
Except there is no demonstration of damage.
No way that the first season took place 2 years after the cage.
That's not damage.
Why? Nothing about it damages it
Folks, stop engaging with him or he'll never stop.
It doesn't fit at all. It looks like it would have fit well with the Kelvin universe though.
Was hoping for a measure of dialog.
That's not going to happen here. In order to have an engaging debate, both sides have to hold up their end.
They don't have to like the show, but give me something I can't shoot down. Give me a perspective I can appreciate even if I don't agree with it.
And I appreciate that, but I don't see it happening here.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't renewed for a second or third season.
Paramount/CBS and Netflix had a five-season production deal (similar to what Paramount/CBS had with Amazon for the three seasons of Picard).
There was zero chance it would get canceled after one season. Paramount/CBS would have never said "No" to free content for CBSAA/P+. Netflix had to pay no matter how the show performed.
After three seasons Paramount bought out the DIS contract from Netflix and renewed DIS for seasons 4 and 5.
It's very easy to renew an expensive show if someone else has already paid for sets, digital assets, casting, costumes, ETC.
Paramount made Netflix pay for the expansive location shoots in Iceland for season 3.
Guess why there are no expansive location shoots for seasons 4 and 5? It's now all virtual sets (The Volume).
All this gloating from people that because the show was renewed for five seasons is a supposed sign of success is so misguided (same thing for PIC and LD).

I might come off as this hard-nosed headstrong defender of the show, but there are posters like @Dukhat @TimeIsAPredator @Amasov @Rahul and @eschaton where I don't agree with them about DSC but we get along just fine and I respect all of their viewpoints.
But I know it's never happening with Pubert. There are certain things that will happen and certain things that won't. And you have to know when to walk away and stop forcing it.
