I got this card and I remain currently unelectrocuted. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get into my Benjamin Franklin cosplay and fly a kite. Clouds look a lil iffy but I should be fine.

Season 4. Characters are learning and growing and carrying on. Ends with a big event and a satisfying open ended narrative conclusion.

Season 5 undoes every ounce of character development and abandons every single character that isn’t Michael Burnham. Throughout the season various characters keep dropping with no explanation, slowly whittling down. The tacked on epilogue for the entire series does not have a single line from any Discovery-crew main character that isn’t Burnham. She gets 20 minutes of bullshit about her that ends with the most wildly unsatisfying narrative tie-in to something else. A tie-in that undoes everything that happened since Season 3 and leaves a future that is objectively depressing and hopeless. And that’s not even talking about the fact that Burnham does something in the first episode of the Season that is worse than mutiny. What she does in that first episode is so overwhelmingly fucked up that it proves she didn’t learn a singular fucking thing.

It is fucking mindboggling to me that the final season was greenlit.

So many parts of the show are great but have been smothered by parading around Michael Burnham and trying to give her the world that she doesn’t deserve. The new season showed her to be an outright psychopath who is willing to put the needs of the many above the needs of her relationship. And that was in Episode 1. Every episode from there demonstrated how the writers of the show did not give a singular fuck about anyone or anything other than Burnham. The final scene of the series ends on something that, when you give it a second of thought, is HORRENDOUSLY FUCKED UP. Especially when we saw a glimpse of what that kind of thing would do to someone (hint, it’s really not good) and they still fucking do it anyway.

I am so sick of Sookie Michael and her stupid fairy vagina and her unbelievably stupid name. FUCK SOOKIE Michael.

Conclusion: Needs fucking any Reno. Or anyone other than Burnham.

I did not post spoilers. You could have just not responded instead of saying “Sorry, I didn’t read what you said.”

Stamets, 14 days ago

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.

Thanks for getting a genuine laugh out of me. Kinda needed that.

That’s not a good contrast. It’s a bad contrast. Discovery and SNW take place in two very different time periods. In SNW, Federation is still strong. When Adira comes out in Discovery it’s during a period where Earth is xenophobic as fuck and the Federation is crippled. It’s a big deal for Adira because they don’t live in the same Universe as the character from SNW. Then there’s the fact that the other non binary character was on screen for a single episode while Adira is a supporting character.

You can’t compare those two so easily while dismissing the surrounding atmosphere.

Oh it’s a quote from True Blood. I’m just replacing the characters name in that with Michael.

The reason I vote Pike is because to me he’s able to blend both of those where Picard couldn’t or wouldn’t. It’s likely just a different philosophy but I like both sides of that coin. Just happens to be the warmer one gets my tick. That and the psychotic level of self sacrifice he has thrown around so far

I don’t understand who would watch that? Like who would spend 4 hours and 5ish minutes watching it? Why would the little costume changes make a difference? Or finding out about her cute little droid? Or the shame closet? Or her being ghosted by the first order? Or being annoyed at the two lil warp windows? Or be annoyed at the cargo space? Or see her cute costume changes? I mean just odd thing to watch. Totally odd. Totally not enjoyable in the slightest. I totally didn’t watch it. Nope. Not at fuckin all.

Oh same. Sorry, that was sarcasm but not totally obvious. I watched the video a couple of days ago and was thoroughly entertained. She is funny as hell and really came at it from every angle.

There’s a glaring thing you’re missing. The pips on the collar and shoulders are only for captains. I’ve been seeing the same shoulders on people of very different rank but there’s one thing even more fucking bizarre. Everyone’s collars open and you see that the badge on it is attached on side and hooks on the other. Except for a single crewman. Jett Reno. For some inexplicable reason, hers splits directly in the center and I cannot figure out why. She’s wearing the same fuckin uniform. It’s not even an engineering thing because other engineers have the other badge.

I do not fuckin get it. I love the colors but that’s about it

And FUCK THAT BADGE. It’s just an ugly goddamn circle.

Stamets, 18 days ago

But the thing that throws me is everyone else wears it open too. There are tons of shots of it open. It’s just bizarre that they have such a noticeable uniform change for a single character and never mention it.

Wait.

A WIRED thermostat is only an option for newly constructed houses? Dude you’re using a wireless one. You think wireless thermostats were invented in 1895 or something?

You and apparently everyone else.

Zealot Barbarians at higher levels become immune to death to a certain extent. You can knock them down to 0 HP and they can still keep fighting. But at that point you’re at a fairly high level and level 1 spells like sleep should be completely behind you. But the zealot barbarian, despite being partially immune to death at that point, has such a low amount of HP that they’re vulnerable to the sleep spell. While killing a zealot barbarian becomes difficult in that state, you could put them to sleep with a simple level 1 spell. Their rage ends and then they’re dead.

I had a suspicion but wasn’t entirely sure so I banked on the other option just in case.

Stamets, 22 days ago

Which is completely subjective and based off of your opinion. Moreover, I’m talking about the current season. There’s a reason I haven’t bothered to interact with anyone else on this thread slagging off the entire show. Not interested in that. The scope of the post is pretty narrow and obviously so.
