Why against Disco s1 haters? Btw that means nothing. I liked s1 of Disco and think s2 was rabid feces.
Why did you like s1 and not s2?
Season 1 for Trek is always the worst season, sans TOS and VOY. Sans TOS because it's one of the best seasons of Trek ever. Sans VOY because VOY s2 is actually considerably worse than s1, much like Disco.
Season 1 of Disco has some ideas. They have the pieces set, and while it's flawed, I thought it had some good episodes. I thought the first season of Disco was probably among the best first seasons of Star Trek in its history despite its glaring holes. Only TOS tops it and I think it's even steven with DS9's (which I am an unashamed slut for). I saw lots of potential. And then in S2 they screwed the pooch by making it an insipid nostalgia fest. The first episode is full of franchise navel gazing and they even introduce actual tie-ins of prior TOS episodes like the Menagarie. At least in DS9 when they introduced TOS it was a filler joke of an episode just for laughs. I do not care about Pike. I do not care about tying in to TOS. I hate shit like that. Prequels are fucking stupid. Stand on your own merits (Better Call Saul), continue an already told story (post-VOY) or get the fuck off my tv.
I couldn't stand the endless,"do you remember SpcOcK? What about PiEEEk?" The first episode of Disco s2 was almost unwatachable for me in how they kept building up "where's Spock??!" and built an entire fucking half season around that very question. I'm watching a Star Trek prequel involving a character I'm well informed about and don't give a fuck to know more about. At least in s1, for better or for worse, you guys did your own thing. That I can respect.
It was so creatively bankrupt and rested on its laurels serving fan service blow jobs while on an official "apology tour" for season 1 when no apology was needed. Unfortunately, it decided jacking off its own teet was necessary with horribly self aggrandizing crap like "the power of math" and "i liek science
"
It was then I realized Disco staff have no fucking idea what they're doing, what the show is about, whether it has a vision or anything.
I defended s1 in this thread without mercy and then it turned into a cynical corporate cash grab of a farce beat Trekkie's dicks so they see another Spock or another Pike.
Thank fuck Disco s3 is way in the future so they have a clean slate to do something interesting. Unfortunately it might also be the last Disco season as well. Fucking RIP you hack frauds.
