Which is why I just watch it on my own now. I've given up trying to share experiences or convince people to appreciate things I like.
I like things I like and I share them with others who are willing to share that experience with me .... I'm not going to try to convince anyone.
When it comes to entertainment I won't bother disagreeing much any more .... but when it comes to real life experience, especially war and death, I'll argue and fight.
But when it comes to Star Trek, I'm starting to realize that there is no shortage of friends out there like you who I can enjoy all this with.
My only complaint with you is that you are freaking making me so excited to see more .... you've infected me! What have you done!!!!
I stayed out of the Star Trek fandoms for years because of this. I've always liked Enterprise, and I like the new shows, some more than others, but I've enjoyed all of them at least to some extent. I don't need some jackass telling me why I'm wrong for liking something. (Edit correction - I just couldn't get into Prodigy. I'm sure it's great, but it just didn't work for me.)
I joined a Star Trek Wholesomeposting group on Facebook where belittling the shows or the people that like them is explicitly not allowed. It's great.
A fine time to use one. Just one I don't think I would have come up with myself.
Like a blind man at an orgy .... I was going to have to feel my way through
You know which Star Trek show is the best one?
The one you like the most.
I binged like the last quarter of the 2nd season really stoned the first time around. 10/10 experience. Honestly it was awesome. Would do again.
Here's what I don't understand. They went through the Singularity to the future because that was the only place the Control AI wouldn't be able to find them, right? Except Control was already destroyed before they went through the Singularity!
I've never even been able to start season 3 because I just can't get past the stupidity of not reversing the engines away from the Singularity the moment Control was eliminated as a threat.
Except Control was already destroyed before they went through the Singularity!
They didn't know that for sure, and the debriefings with Pike, Spock, and the gang at the end establish that they took some time afterward to confirm that Control had been completely eliminated.
I think it was to make sure that there was a clean break of the data from the timeline just in case Control had hidden some part of itself somewhere. That way the data was in no danger of being found while efforts were made in present time to ensure there would never be a “Control” again. Georgiou said she leaves as little to chance as she can (I’m paraphrasing a bit there). Notice she didn’t say Control was “dead” or “gone”, she said “neutralized.” By still flinging Discovery far into the future, I’m guessing Pike and Saru felt the same - this was too important to leave to chance, they had to be sure.
That's the paradox tho.... if they go through, they fulfill the timeline of the future. If they don't, they break the timeline and now there is a new chance for control to reappear and restart.
The other thing is .... these are time paradoxes so whatever happens creates a new universe and we will never become aware of the alternate versions.
But you do have a great point .... I was so excited watching the finale that I didn't think of that.
There are plot holes everywhere that you could fly a star ship through .... but I still enjoyed it.

Are you thinking Marvel-style timeline-forking? I could be wrong, but I believe it is established that time doesn't work that way in Trek.
As others have said this isn’t the infinitely expanding manifold time of DC or MCU (pre Loki season 2).
SNW season two confirmed what we could infer from the premier of TNG when the date of WW3 had shifted back decades. It also happens to line up better with the understandings of modern physics.
The Prime Timeline in Star Trek is a resilient enormous river. It can be shifted a bit in its course, slip forwards and back.
BUT major events remain largely unchanged
- those changes that aren’t large enough to create a major fork shift to a very different future as in TOS City at the Edge of Forever
OR
- it takes an event of the order of the Romulan Supernova to create a new branch universe (Kelvin U).
You might want to see a doctor about that. But have fun!
If only
they didn't fuck upseason 3so badly.wasn't such a disappointment for me.
For real. Everytime someone says "I like Discovery!" You've always got to have someone with this type of arrogance go "But it sucks though" and pretend like their opinion is fact.
Two comments I've seen from this person on two posts within an hour and both having the same negative energy. I'm just going to go ahead and hit the block button because it doesn't look like they're going to provide anything other than negative energy and i'm tired of it.
Take it easy guys ... I've watched Star Trek for so many years now ... I really don't care what they get right or wrong any more ... I just love the series for what it is, it's been so much part of my life now that it's like looking at a family member who is decent, has their flaws but I still love none the less.
