Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”

I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

        Hey, you know science is all about prediction, right? Once a pattern emerges you can create a model for what to expect. Since the showrunners haven’t changed expecting something different each time would be… The definition of insanity. And there is plenty to pick up from trailers and preview clips that it’s going to be the exact same garbage we’ll always expect from these same showrunners.

          How about applied science? You’ve deduced you wont like a show, now what do you do with that fact? If you maybe spend three or four minutes letting everyone know you wont be fucking with this show and then move on to other things, I totally respect you.

          But if you put out multiple forty minute videos of you pouring over every frame of each two minute trailer so you can froth at the mouth about someone wearing glasses or a Jem’Hadar having tits, you’re just eating up bandwidth that could be spent on something meaningful.

            Just like I don’t have to spend time watching NuTrek, you don’t have to spend time watching any videos breaking down all its problems.

              Deal - and we can both make the occasional post on lemmy about how shitty our respective objects of ridicule are. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
