I got so caught up in the euphoria of new Star Trek that I forgot SNW has some of my least favourite writing of the new shows. I think I’m frustrated with it because there are so many aspects I SHOULD like! On paper I SHOULD like this show more than I do! I just do not vibe! :(

#Happy for everyone who loves the show so much god I wish that were me #tagging for my own blog's sorting system not here to be a dick #it is only dethroned by season 3 of PIC for my least favourite writing #but. STOP TALKING ABOUT GENETIC MODIFICATION STAR TREK. IT HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAD. ALWAYS.#EVEN THAT ONE BASHIR EPISODE THIS IS A HOT TAKE I WILL TAKE TO MY GRAVE #(but there are other things that are good about that Bashir episode)#It's too nuanced and difficult of a topic to handle in a 45-60 minute episode. It really is #Children should never be blamed for the sins of their parents etc etc but it is SUCH a double edged sword #what they did with La'an was neat I guess. something something facing ancestral ghosts that put guilt on your shoulders #Like at least this guilt and trauma isn't entirely needless like the Gorn shit #It makes sense that a descendant of HIS would have complex thoughts and feelings. Just wish it was a descendant of a DIFFERENT #genegic augment from Earth's history. Makes the universe feel SO SMALL #The La'an episode got me reluctantly back into being willing to see where they're going with everything because it was a decent episode #I mean I'll watch the Lower Decks episode no matter what but I was hoping the show would grow on me more this season #and it still hasn't really #There are fun elements (Funky old engineer lady! Still mad about killing off the season 1 guy but she's fun! I'm so gay for Ortegas)#I want to like this show more so bad! :(#but I'm just overall not vibing :(#star trek #snw
