    It seems like every episode of Discovery must contain:

    • A red alert
    • A fistfight or space battle
    • Egregious unnecessary special effects
    • A tear-filled conversation, often at a very inappropriate time
    • A character saying “When I was younger” to start a stupid overwrought reason why the current mission has personal meaning for them due to some deep trauma or insecurity
    • Somebody saying how important it is to “connect” with others
    • Some race against the clock that would not be needed if the characters would quit crying to each other and act like goddamn professionals
    • Cringeworthy unprofessional levels of awkwardness

    I’m speed-hatewatching my way through it, on season 5 right now and I can’t wait until this stupid shit is over.

      I fully agree with your assasement, it gives me alot of SBI/DEI vibes as if there is a certain quota to be reached.

      It looks more like it was about bringing a message acros that pure entertainment, sure it had its moments epic ones too.

      But the execution of the acting part was very disappointing.
