[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9013818, member: 7023840"] Is that you, Pauline Kael? ;) Seriously, though, I don't think that this is an accurate summary. I am someone who likes DISCO, but is also frustrated with it on occasion. But even with my occasional frustration (most of it having to do with, "You have a lot of awesome crew, so let's use them more ... not just Michael Burnham"), I still think most of the criticism is overwrought and unwarranted. First, DISCO was successful enough that it launched ... a lot ... of other Star Trek shows, including and especially SNW. Second, I truly don't understand why people are holding it up as something that's bad.... compared to what? Enterprise? Voyager? We need to be bracingly honest, here- Star Trek has had one show that is a stone cold classic (TOS, with 2.5 all-time seasons out of 3). One that is right up there (TNG, which, again, didn't hit its stride until season 3!). One that Star Trek fans love, but almost no one else watched (DS9). And that's it. The thing is- DISCO has five seasons. People like it. Was it [I]as good[/I] as it could have been? No. I think that the whole thing got off to an off-kilter start because of the loss of Fuller, and the loss of confidence in S1. But I also think that a lot of the hate (and it is hate) is misplaced, and I would rather watch DISCO any day of the week and get a root canal than, um, this .....
