I'm sorry to anyone I gave shit to about the writing or about it being the Michael Burnham Whining Hour. Y'all were right.
Expect a name change soon.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I did not post spoilers. You could have just not responded instead of saying "Sorry, I didn't read what you said."
I wanted to tell you I was sorry about it being ruined for you. And I did read the comment up to that point!
Edit: And now I read the whole thing since there were no spoilers. And yeah, Michael is a stupid name. I never got that.
Sorry. I didn't sleep. A few things going on but this stupid fucking show has really been bugging me.
Apparently according to the EPs, Michael was chosen because Trek has a history of switching things up. Michael has been used in the past as a womans name so they decided to use it here. Basically the skant but in name form. It's fucking dumb.
Yeah, that is not the greatest reasoning. That's a real "we did it because we could" sort of thing rather than "here's why she has this name" in a way that you didn't need an explanation from the EPs instead of watching the show. I hate it when shows do that.
