The dislike of Discovery is a totally valid opinion, but this is a poor & disrespectful take. The show did a lot. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn’t my top trek show. Any trek deserves a proper, respectful send-off. You can point at the finale that we got and say that it wasn’t great, but honestly what do you expect with a few extra pages of writing and barely any shooting time? The actors and writers deserved an opportunity to actually end things properly, and instead they were given next to nothing and they did their best to make do.
Comment on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Was Denied 2-Hour Finale Movie, Says Sonequa Martin-Green

Thank God. This would have been 2 straight hours of mind-numbing dialogue between characters about how much they’ve been through together and how much they’re going to miss each other.

Except this is what I disliked about Discovery. You’d have ten minutes of activity that actually moved the plot forward, followed by twenty minutes of crew “checking in” with each other in order to discuss everyone’s feelings about what just happened while also rehashing events from past episodes. It was like watching a Spanish telenovela, where every second piece of dialogue was intended to remind you of what happened in the last episode…just in case you forgot.
Every episode was 3/4 dialogue, discussing what we all watched happen in the first 1/4. It felt like every season should have taken 3 episodes…not 14. In the last couple of seasons, I literally skipped entire episodes, and it did nothing to impact the plot.

3rd screen content. you’re not actually supposed to watch it, you’re supposed to passively absorb it while doing something else.

That is sage advice. I think I’ve been doing it wrong, this whole time.

That’s a fair criticism and I’m not telling you your opinion on the show is wrong. But Discovery did have its fans, and I think it’s disrespectful to them and especially the cast & crew to say they deserved to get the Enterprise ending treatment, just because you didn’t enjoy the show.

Disrespectful is telling people that didn’t like the show that they must not have gotten enough hugs from their father.

No.
This wasn’t star trek. The name was slapped on, it was NOT star trek. I wanted an intelligent shoe that makes you think about and question morals. Whatever the hell discovery was, it was dumb, made by people who actively dislike trek. I’m happy it’s gone.

Did you see the photo attached to the story? It pretty much validates Archangel’s comment.

“if you don’t like what I like, you suck” but upgraded to “your dad sucked”
Nice.
