I'm done with Discovery

[Kpnuts]

I enjoyed the first half of this season. The last three mirror universe episodes though have been terrible.

The writing is awful. The plot twists so contrived and pointless. Their obsession with brutality (Georgiou killing her aids, really.) and shock value (one off F bomb) is pathetic. They've visited a grand total of two planets in 12 episodes. Half the cast is unlikable. Burnham has ZERO personality. Lorca's intriguingly complex character was utterly assassinated in yet another moronic plot twist. The script is robotic. The space shots last about two and a quarter seconds before cutting away. Discovery the vessel herself either sits there doing nothing, or jumps. The Mirror Universe episodes are unpleasant, the "evilness" of everything is cringeworthy and MU itself was introduced waaaay too early in the show. The Voq storyline was pointless. Oh and the writing is awful. Worth saying a second time.

Hire new writers, PLEASE.

Their obsession with brutality (Georgiou killing her aids, really.)

It's the Mirror Universe, this is the kind of shit that happens there.

But yeah, bye.

I'm so surprised how well the show is received on here. The last few episodes have been about as far away from Star Trek as can be. No storyline, just plot twists that you can see coming a mile off, lots and lots of killing people in gruesome ways and wooden dialogue. Oh and more plot twists, cause that's interesting right!​

It's amazing how people simultaneously decry the show for having plot twists, and for actually putting thought into foreshadowing those twists instead of just throwing out mystery boxes with no plans for how to resolve them.

Doesn't matter how much foreshadowing there is. When you have a captain who was one moment hell bent on winning a war ... and the next from the evil muhahahaha evil universe all along, then all the foreshadowing in the world doesn't make it interesting or clever.

And don't get me started on the pathetic turning a Klingon into a human storyline which, now that Voq is dead, went absolutely NOWHERE.

Just so dumb.

The writing is mediocre in support of some cynical, slapdash and superficial concepts that look to be entirely market-driven.

Yeah, the show is pretty bad. Sounds like you hung in longer than I did.

Funny. You say he "hung in longer than I did", and yet you keep watching it.

Hate watching. We saw this with ENT as well.

If OP likes the show apart from the MU episodes, I’m not sure why you’d quit. I doubt the MU arc is going to go much longer.

 

[The Wormhole]

I doubt the MU arc is going to go much longer.

Only for the rest of the season.

 

[Commander Richard]

This is the first time that the Mirror Universe has captured my interest. Makes me want to go back and rewatch the other shows' MU episodes, especially the ones from Enterprise.

 

[Mudd]

Only for the rest of the season.

They'll have to find other utter fanwank to exploit next year.

 

[Commander Richard]

I also hope to see more of Captain Tilly before we're done.

Are we supposed to care? I don't think I've ever read a post by the OP. Not trying to be mean...just honest. Have you been actively involved to the point where an entire thread needs to be established announcing that we are losing you?

And if you're "done with it" why the need for multiple posts about "terrible, terrible, terrible writing?"

Just be done.

I'm not feeling the need to start a post that's titled "I like Discovery." Just seems like an odd thing to do.

As soon as Orville is back on, right bruh?

I find it funny the very people that think DSC is Horribly written think the Orville is not

 

[The Wormhole]

Orville's awesome
