Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative
Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

I mean you’re not wrong, but discovery is quite objectively garbage. It lacks good writing, good characters and anything that makes it a Star Trek other than using the IP. No philosophy, no exploration, no character arcs. Jason Isaacs is pretty much the only redeeming quality.
Unlike tng, I don’t expect discovery to be a fan loved classic any time in the next century.
Edit: changed “STD” to “discovery” as apparently we’re in middle school
It's DSC. Not STD.
No it is not objectively garbage, that is your opinion.
"Please be chill and positive." "No."
Buddy, considering how absolutely childish the moniker "STD" has always been, you've got no ground to whine here.
Secondly, at least in middle school, children are taught the meaning of the word, "objectively."
May be that way for a native English speaker I guess. I have never used it or seen it used as a moniker.
Interesting theory. If you’d never previously seen “Discovery” called STD, what made you choose it?
Maybe the fact that the three words in the title are Star Trek Discovery? It's not a ridiculous notion.
There is no other Trek that follows that name convention. We don't call "Voyager" STV or "Enterprise" STE. For me to believe that someone had a) never seen someone use STD applied to Disco pejoratively and, b) decided to use that abbreviation when DIS, DSC, and Disco are all far more common, I would have to be convinced that this is their first week discussing Star Trek on the internet.
This was uncalled for, and a quick look through your comment history indicates that you're either a person who thrives on taking an opposing viewpoint for the sake of being an oppositional pain, or a troll. I'm going to go with the latter.
Dissonant discourse has value but you're intentionally inflammatory so from me, to you, kindly fuck right off. Try and learn something from this. I will engage you no further.

We really are Reddit 2.0.
lmao "reasonable personal opinion" go back to Reddit with that nonsense.
