I think there are legitimate issues with DISCO.... and I hoped that this thread would give people an opportunity to vent about them rather then issue with certain "fans" or their political aggravations... because quit frankly I really don't care about the latter.
Oh there are legitimate issues, and I wish there was more discussion of them rather than the latter as well, yet there is one thing about the latter that's rubbing me the wrong way. So, one group had kvetched that there aren't any straight male white dudes on Disco's bridge crew until we got Lorca. Now
effectively leaving no straight (male) white human dude on the main bridge crew. Do I have that right? Is DISCO now a Starfleet (predominantly human) ship in the Federation where the entire main crew are minorities and non–human characters? I'm all for diversity but if we've taken it to that extreme it seems a little....hokey for lack of a better term. On the flip–side... the LGBTAlphabet Soup community has bitched up a storm about Culber's "death?" scene, even though
, so does this mean we can finally stop whining about DSC's lack of/excessive diversity issue and start railing about things that matter like the horrendous writing, era–inaccurate costumes, and unwanted alterations made to the Klingons?
My biggest beef with the show is that so many major plot points seem to be the result of idiotic writing. Burnham shouldn't have been allowed to advise a sandwich much less a Captain based on her behavior in the first two episodes, yet Georgiou was ready to hand her a command. Landry seemed too stupid to be trusted with a NERF gun much less Lorca's man cave, and she died screwing with a creature that was known to be lethal. The Pahvans were actually interesting, but we've forgotten they existed, and if the Klingons have "apparently" won the war, doesn't that mean we're boxed into an inevitable reset button episode to end the season? Every time I think this show is improving, it does something so mind–numblingly stupid that I question how supposedly intelligent writers could do a table read and go "yeah, that works" to half of these scripts.
