    I found that Star Trek Discovery was a bit too forced when it came to introduce inclusivity and diversity which made a lot of the interactions between those people feel very unnatural and forced.

    Doe not get me wrong I Am All for representation inclusivity and diversity but it feel natural. And not like it’s another quota that has to be reached I think they missed nail on that one because I found the characters quite interesting in immersive especially the science officer but some of the interactions just completely pull me out of that immersion I don’t know if other people share this opinion with me but that’s what I think of Star Trek Discovery and I think that’s kind of cringe

      It seems like every episode of Discovery must contain:

      • A red alert
      • A fistfight or space battle
      • Egregious unnecessary special effects
      • A tear-filled conversation, often at a very inappropriate time
      • A character saying “When I was younger” to start a stupid overwrought reason why the current mission has personal meaning for them due to some deep trauma or insecurity
      • Somebody saying how important it is to “connect” with others
      • Some race against the clock that would not be needed if the characters would quit crying to each other and act like goddamn professionals
      • Cringeworthy unprofessional levels of awkwardness

      I’m speed-hatewatching my way through it, on season 5 right now and I can’t wait until this stupid shit is over.

      Discovery was the cringiest Trek series from start to finish. Naming a woman a guy’s name was so cringe and unnatural. Yea staments was interesting, but they marginalized him by the 3rd season as a background characthrr
