2. STD is an embarrassment and hopefully it will be quietly cancelled.

The writing of Discovery is atrocious. To have been so poor at writing Star Trek that, having demolished the setting and ham-handedly attempted to “fix canon” (their solution: “its classified?!!?”) now they are doing what they should have done from the outset: set the series in a future where the CGI might actually fit (their look was WAY off to make any sense as a prequel), and they can write screenplays that don’t demand expertise the way Star Trek does.

Pike was well-played, and the highlight of what otherwise is a gigantic, tragic and unprecedentedly expensive piece of shit.

Just my $.02.
