I'm late to the party, but:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing in the common vernacular. Prejudice against the vernacular is just a form of classism, which, in the World According to Gene Roddenberry, we should have left behind long ago along with racism, sexism, bigotry, poverty, war, and disease.
1) A film or TV episode alluding to classic literature or ancient mythology does not "leave you enlightened" by those works. Quoting two or three lines from Moby-Dick does not teach you Moby-Dick. It may intrigue you to learn about it, but I promise you, you will not pass a literature class studying Moby-Dick by watching Star Trek: First Contact.
2) Multiple episodes of DIS have made allusions to classic literature and ancient mythology. Your failure to pay attention does not mean that those allusions are not present.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using interjections such as "like" or with using common phrases such as "You good?".
Please explain how good acting works.
DIS is not about the bridge crew. It's a slight variation on the traditional Star Trek format. Asking why DIS is not about the bridge crew makes about as much sense as asking why The Godfather is not about the police detectives investigating the Corleone family.
DIS has no more in common with Star Wars than the rest of the Star Trek franchise.
No, you did not. Again, if you tried to pass a literature class studying Moby-Dick by watching Star Trek: First Contact, you would fail.
For all its flaws, Star Trek Into Darkness is one of only two mainstream films I can think of (the other being Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to tell a story that is allegorically about the negative unintended consequences of the use of drone assassinations by the U.S. government. They are both also the only films I know that depict how liberal democracies that violate their principles in the name of national security cause blowback that harms their own people and risk losing their democracies entirely (e.g., Marcus intending to launch a coup against the Federation government and Hydra attempting to violently overthrow every world government).
I'm sorry, but Michael Giacchino is one of the greatest film composers active today. Like John Williams before him, he's often much better than the movies he writes for.
Paramount+ is continuing to grow as a streaming service and there are more Star Trek television programs in production now than have ever been in production at the same time.
The most obvious would be the gut-wrenching "Forget Me Not."
You, uh. You thought a Star Trek message board... would be completely against Star Trek.
Huh.
Well, guess it proves what I've been saying:
Nobody hates a show that's new and different quite as much as a certain segment of fans of a show about people who go into space to find things that are new and different.
