Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?
Corgana@startrek.website 10 hours agoWhy is it when those things you listed show up on other Star Trek series you consider them to be “flaws” on an “overall quality” show, but on Discovery they become “reasons to hate”? Why the double standard?

Those are reasons to hate any show. Discovery made the mistake of being made mostly of that.

It just feels awfully weird to me that your list of criteria that makes a show “hateable” only applies to this particular show. And when another show checks off the items, the list suddenly stops being “hateable items” and instead becomes a list of minor nitpicks.
I just can’t figure out what the difference is, what could it be about Discovery in particular that would cause you to hold this list of criteria with such gravitas, but when the listed items appear on a different show, you don’t seem to mind? What could the difference be?

Again, let me explain it as a metaphor:
a) You want to buy a new house, it’s beautiful although there’s a couple of leaks but the rest of the roof is solid. You decide like it.
b) You want to buy a new house, it’s beautiful although most of the roof has leaks. You decide it’s not wort the effort.
