I wasn't even aware of Lemmy when I wrote this. I only joined yesterday, but not for the intent of promoting my pieces. I don't monetize them, so there's that. Aside from book work, this is one of the longest pieces I've ever written, and I write about a range of subjects. I hope you all like it :)

JJ’s Trek films and Kelvin timeline would inject a cancer throughout Paramount’s Trek productions, namely Discovery.

JFC, this is pathetic.

Disco might not be to everyone's taste, but to claim it's a "cancer" is a tad bit dramatic, isn't it. Especially when the writer goes on to praise most of the series which we never would have had if not for the success of Disco.

Not to mention the childish oversimplification of the spore drive, which has been explained on screen. Sci-fi fans really out here still complaining about "magic" mushrooms facilitating travel, but perfectly cool when it's crystals like dilithium.

Dude magic crystals are real. Everyone knows that. I'll PM you a URL.
