Star Trek Discovery not getting any better I fear.

True but a lot of Trekkies don't like it.

And a lot do. But who cares?

We can only talk for ourselves about what we enjoy, and I have to admit that I really struggle with your remorseless negativity. Can’t we just talk about the cool stuff we like, rather than constantly tearing stuff down?

We used to watch Gotham but wife pulled the plug on it season 3 or 4. I understand it got better with Dominic portraying the Joker. We liked his character in Shameless.

Define "a lot".

We're only halfway through the season and they've already greenlit season 3. Must be doing okay.

Never claimed it was gonna be canceled.

No, but, you are claiming that it isn't very good.

If it wasn't very good and a lot of trekkies don't like it, then why is it getting renewed this early? Seems like a pretty big risk for something so expensive to produce if it's not doing very well, nobody is watching it and everyone is switching to the Orville or The (recently cancelled) Expanse.

I'm leaning a lot harder on the idea that it's a bunch of butthurt comic book guy fans who have nothing to do than produce 49 minute Youtube videos of how much Disco sucks.

Yes, we haven't really seen a whole lot of "cyborg" stuff in Star Trek. About the only character that comes to mind with any sort of prosthetic is Geordie from TNG and his visor. Data was full on android and not human at all.

It is a missing element really. They explain why genetic manipulation isn't a thing (Eugenics War - Khan) but, they've never really delved into why no one in Star Fleet is sporting any technological enhancements.

I do rather hope she is a cyborg of some sort. Data as the first "android" in Star Fleet is a rather established bit of canon. Although, to be fair, TOS had all sorts of advanced androids that certainly could have been considered sentient.

Maybe this is why you don't have cyborgs in later Star Treks - the chance of being "hacked" is considered a security risk?

The blue and grey skinned lady is she a robot, cyborg or some Alien species I'm not familiar with.
