The way it was done is awkward. It's like they're just shining a spotlight on this being the franchise's first f-bomb.
S1 was awesome, S2 is a yawn fest

Her line and Stamets's response were cute. They're both adorable, and I love that they've become friends over the course of the first season. I seriously do not understand why some people baulk at a cuss word. It's harmless. Why care?
It was natural.
George Carlin would most definitely agree with you...
What the heck happened!
Season one was awesome.
It was dark, scary, actually made for adults.
Reminded me a bit of event horizon and the expanse.
Fast forward to S2 and we have gone back to star trek : disney edition.
everyone is happy, everything is A OK.
Honestly , i couldnt get enough of season one and was so looking forward to season two.
But now ive watched all the recent episodes, its actually quite boring. Same old, same old.
Why was the( rated m ) theme taken away?
Now we are back to another soap opera in space.
Sad days indeed(
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I thought season one flat out stunk. I didn't like the stories and found it at times to be borderline unwatchable. I gave season two a chance and have liked it a LOT.
Having watched all of season one, I didn't see where the gloves came off at any point.
*Could.
Potential to do something is really meaningless if they don't follow through.
With some very minor reservations, it's my absolute favorite Trek novel. In 'the good old days' @garamet used to hang around here a bit more.
That's a pretty good summary of my post. Maybe S31 will follow through.
No it wasn’t. Tilly said a curse word just for the sake of cursing, for some unnecessary shock value, and just because ‘they could.’ I’m no prude when it comes to dropping the f-bomb myself, but I found it very awkward, and so did the other people I saw the episode with. To all the others here who thought it was ‘cute,’ I find that to be a rather silly attitude. But that’s just me.

Sit down old man, you're drunk.
Seriously, I like season 1 but it just doesn't square up to season 2 in any way, shape or form
Seriously, you don't have to defend every aspect of the shows honour. And I say this as a fellow Discovery fan.
The F-bomb was awful and forced.
Season 2 was always planned to be different. Obviously they were not going to be doing war arcs every season.
And WTF kind of criticism is “season 2 is gone back to star trek”?
I like season 2 slightly better. As much as I liked the Lorca character, I haven’t missed him as Anson Mount has been great as Pike. Jason Isaacs joked that even he liked Pike better.
Discovery established a certain style in season 1. I can’t describe it but I liked it. The first 2 episodes of season 2 dropped that style, but episode 3 felt just like a season 1 episode. And all the episodes since have been a mixture which I like.

I don't defend everything.
I just don't think it felt forced. I would have done the same thing in her place.
Season 3 will likely be different even still.
I liked the "fucking cool!" bit in S1. They used it as a positive, rather than a derogatory thing.
Yes it was just to get some press online and totally incidental to the story, but it was the best use of the word "fuck" they could have possibly had.

Neither is Tilly.
