@djsumdog @quark It had its flaws but it's not like we aren't used to that

Having a more overarching story instead of very self-contained episodes is definitely a good thing for Trek though

@elomatreb @quark I can see that. DS9 tried a long story arc based around war. I think Discovery ran with that.

I know Star Trek has always been campy, but it's 2018 and I think more effort could have been put into the writing. BattleStar and Expanse showed this believable gritty complexity, and they kinda tried in Discovery, but the way it was written kinda took me out of the story. I'm probably just being too critical ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@djsumdog IMO The Expanse isn't a really fair comparison, because it's an adaptation of a proper book (series)

@djsumdog @elomatreb I like the writing, but there is only so much grit they can jam in and still be star trek. (agree though that The Expanse is amazing) I heard that they have reasons for all the apparent variations from former cannon that they will explain eventually.

@quark @elomatreb Yea I honestly though they'd be forced to kill the mycelium network in the last episode to save both worlds and end the jump drive, but I guess it's going to be around for another season.

@djsumdog @elomatreb I don't think the things happening next season are mycellium related. They can't kill the network but they could ban it's use, go all Omega Directive on it (woops, I'm not supposed to know about that.)
