I'm actually still just waiting for you to give some examples of bad writing in Disco.
I get to do the pithy bot mot that’s actually nonsense
The term is "bon mot." Don't worry though, this in no way affects my impression of your ability to judge what is or is not good writing.
This is fucking gross. We're all having a good time here, but let's not try to play sexual assault off as a joke.
So that's a "no?"
Could you give some examples of bad writing in the show? Feel free to skip the overwrought metaphor.
MRW the ship is overrun by tiny monsters demanding “treats” and threatening us with “tricks, but the captain won’t let me detonate the warp core!
I have a different theory.
Scotty knew this training shakedown was going to be easy times, so he got into the bottle of green stuff he keeps stashed in the intermix chamber.
Yeah, it's completely nonsensical without the context of the episode.
But they made Badgey blue and had him go off to create his own universe. For me, they might as well have given Mariner a Rorschach mask.
As far as the Romulans go, I really like the concept of the Qowat Milat. Also the expansion of Romulan culture to the point where we learned a surprising amount about their gods was neat.
I think Jurati's Borg have some interesting implications, and I'm very curious to know what the deal with that transwarp conduit at the end of season two of PIC is. Of course, we're never going to get a real follow-up on that.
And that's just from PIC, a series that I think is hands down the worst overall series of Trek.
I think the mycelial network is extremely interesting, and wish Disco would do more with some of the implications introduced in season one. The 10-C from season four are also very intriguing.
LDecks has been surprising about expanding on the cultures of various species, like the Pakleds, and the Orions. It also introduced the idea of the support fleet. And while I don't generally like it when death is something of a revolving door, I do think the idea of the Black Mountain is more interesting than the extra-galactic synths.
The thing is, we don't know much of anything about the EGS, right? They left the admonition as a warning to other synthetics, and when they show up, they're a bunch of metal tentacle arms. There's not really much to go on there. I would like for it to be expanded upon to, for lack of a better term, justify the inclusion in Trek lore, but when they showed up, I can't say I was anything other than disappointed.
Anyone implying there are jokes in the canon connections post is mistaken. Star Trek is serious business.
Moopsy!
