    Society (and Admiral April) is hypocritical and and racist’ by demonstrating it through one person’s story

    That’s just because it’s a prequel, and this issue continues through DS9. So they can’t change it. And that is the big weakness of much of current Trek being prequels.

      I just finished season 1 of Discovery and thought it was essentially flawless, though there was very little social commentary outside of Taran space nazis

      Though it did deal with sexual assault and PTSD well, and other personal issues.

      Season 1 of discovery was insane from start to finish, it was like when Game of Thrones was still good

        I’m glad someone liked it. I guess you might be the third person I’ve met who liked any part of Discovery, and the first who thought it was anywhere close to flawless. No to be an ass - have you watched any Star Trek before these?

          As I said somewhere else in this comment tree, Strange New Worlds was my first series.

          I’ve now finished Discovery season 2, and holy moly they ruined that in a hurry. The writing quality difference between seasons 1 and 2 gave me whiplash, the middle of the season it got a bit better and then the ending did a game of thrones and retroactively made the rest of the season even worse.

          So yeah, loved season 1 mainly because it was like a whole new series every 3 episodes, hated season 2 because it was 3 bad movies stretched across 14 episodes

            Ahhh, yes Discovery probably was a lot more enjoyable if you’ve never seen any Star Trek before.
