      Chalking up Discovery’s unpopularity as “bigotry” is lazy.

      • The writing is really really poor. Like Picard season 2 level poor.
      • Someone cries tears about something almost every episode.
      • You won’t remember half the names of the bridge crew because they are barely used each season.
      • The ship travels the universe through the magic of mushrooms.
      • Eating sentient species is used as (unfunny) humor.
      • Everyone cusses because the producers think 20th century vernacular is still used centuries later.
      • Two words: programmable matter.
      • And spoiler: Millions of people die and dilithium stops working because a single alien has… a crying jag. (See point 1 & 2).

      Just absolutely horrible writing and plot points. Perfectly good actors and characters wasted every season.

      That said, Doug Jones steals the show and creates a fascinating character.

        Awww. You don’t like something but you stick around and watch it anyway. But you bitch bitch bitch about it. I don’t like a show I don’t watch it. Like that shit show game of thrones and many others. I tuned out on that show in the second episode and never looked back

        There is so much wrong with your bullet points than I’m willing to go through considering you wont want to change your mind. So I wont try.

        Its funny that you used the 20th century for vernacular when we are in the 21st century and its still all quite common. I guess you wold prefer made up profanity like frak on battle star.

        You don’t want entertainment. You want boring reality and I’m thinking you are unhappy with that as well. They made the characters more human and you don’t like it. Kinda sad really and I’m not talking about the show.
