in retrospect while Discovery is incredibly plot and drama heavy I really appreciate how well it’s been able to hold onto the technobabble mystery of it all throughout. I know that the burn is widely considered to be a low point for the show but for a low Su’Kal as a stand-alone plot was really good? And s4 brought it back to a season long ethics and science exploration which was nice. It may have made sacrifices to be more serialized but whoever decided that it would do so on a ship focused on experimental science was brilliant because so far it’s been a good balance

#disco is like half engineering station half everything else #good or bad someone is always sciencing it up #even if they’re screaming at each other while doing it #star trek discovery #a mushroom network absorbed peoples consciousnesses and at one point reincarnated someone #big drama big science #I really do love this show #it’s aged so well for me like in retrospect the cringiest bits are fun #like Michael saving the day by doing the equivalent of booting up windows 97 on a computer from 2022 #is Star Trek not supposed to be dumb plots and silly solutions with weird science mysteries #I don’t think Disco is failing just because it takes a pause and stops taking itself seriously every once in a while
