Comment on Just wanted to thank this community for helping me have the best birthday I've had in years
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year agoI’m glad they’re putting more references in Discovery. That was one of the things that turned me off of it. They were doing this whole thing with the Mirror Universe, and they didn’t even mention Hoshi being the leader of the Terran Empire. Like, obviously she’s not still going to be alive (though a Warhammer 40k-style Emperor Hoshi would have been awesome), but they could have at least mentioned it. Maybe I’ll have to give Discovery a second chance. If only to see some Saru ass ;p

They at least referenced the Defiant Mirror Universe stuff. Whole time in the MU trying to find that data only for it to be useless.
Season 3 and 4 have references to EVERY Star Trek that came before it due to quirks of how the show is going.
I do plead for you to give it another chance. The first season is rough, I will not lie, but the Second Season steps up immensely. Season 3 it really has it’s footing and is sprinting (they did a ton of filming in Iceland and it looks GORGEOUS) and Season 4 is just truly fucking incredible. Also there is Saru ass lol

Do they improve on Burnham’s character? I could not stand her.
Stamets@startrek.website 1 year ago
That depends on what your issue with her is I guess. What about her didn’t you like? Or rather what do you hope they’d change or work on?
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
She was like the textbook definition of a Mary Sue. Weird name, unique powers, family relation to a well-loved character from a previous series, no flaws other than ones that are supposed to make her more endearing, etc.
Really the main thing I’d want changed is real flaws and emotions beyond dislike of authority
