Mic drop.
That’s not realistic. They’d never use real names like “Bobby”.
Could stay technically true with a pun:

(I’m on my 4th smartphone in about 12 years, and I’ve never scratched or cracked a screen)

Weird Al should create an AI of Weird Al, and call it Weird AI. I think that would settle the debate once and for all.
shutz@lemmy.cato [Dormant, move to !television@lemm.ee] Shows and TV@lemm.ee•Is Star Trek Discovery worth a watch? I loved Picard would I like this?English2·8 months agoUnlike some people here, I enjoyed seasons 3-5 more than seasons 1-2.
S1: the Mirrorverse section overstayed its welcome. Feels wrong that it would have so much influence over the prime universe. Also, it felt wrong for a Starfleet crew to have this much internal conflict. Some of the more standalone episodes were enjoyable, though.
S2: a recurring problem with most of the series begins crystallizing here: why does each season need a universe-ending threat to motivate the plot? It got tiresome in this season, but kept happening for every subsequent season. Felt too contrived. But the less extreme internal conflict made it more enjoyable, as did the addition of captain Pike.
S3: I read somewhere that one of the pitches for a new series before Discovery was made was basically what Discovery became in its third season. I loved the “rebuilding the Federation” aspect of this. Really helped bring into focus what the Federation and Starfleet meant. I didn’t enjoy the “universe-ending threat” aspect, and think the season would have been better without it.
S4: Another “universe-ending threat”? This season had some interesting individual episodes, and the final resolution is great Star Trek, but it would have been better if they had come up with a different way to get there. But there’s also more “rebuilding the Federation” that was enjoyable.
S5: slightly less universe-ending here, which gave us a little more room to breathe. Some enjoyable character interactions that were less common in previous seasons. Some really wonderful, quintessentially Star Trek episodes. The ending to the season arc was a bit disappointing. The series ending felt tacked-on (because it was).
I honestly think this series would have been better if it essentially started with the premise of season 3 and skipped seasons 1 and 2. And if they dropped the season-length universe-ending threats in favor of something more subtle, leaving more room for character-building.
And I honestly had more problems with Picard (especially season 2) than with Discovery, even though I found it harder to get into Discovery at the beginning.
Hard agree with everyone here that says SNW is a cut above Discovery and Picard. And Lower Decks and Prodigy are also really good (and really good Star Trek) in their own ways.
They admitted, with obvious glee
