Maybe Michael Burnham showed some tears at one point or two during the series (god forbid a Star Trek character raised on Vulcan showing emotions throughout her personal development), well she was still an absolute badass and a role model for numerous fans. Wether angry nerds like it or not.
Long live Discovery.
It was a strong start, but the writing just keeps getting progressively worse. Since TNG, the opposite was usually true, first two seasons pretty bad, fourth season onwards good. DSC did one strong first season, a still good second, and then started going downhill.
There’s some brilliant work in 7, but it was also a dumping ground for leftover stories.
Being a mixed bag comes with the Trek territory. But you have to have a net positive to keep a series afloat.
