Python is tragic? Why?

This show, like most trek, really found it’s footing after one or two seasons. The characters have depth and personality and don’t just exist for sake of the jokes.

I still struggle with some of the crass humor, but that’s because I’m rather particular about what I find funny. The last season was particularly good on character building and they did set it up for a very exciting new season indeed.

Now you’re twisting my words. Reread what you wrote, there’s your answer. This conversation has ran its course.

I was having a really hard time processing the fact that what seemed like open discourse had so suddenly devolved to threats. Do you get a kick from doing that?

That phrase. What do you mean by that.

It wasn’t intentional. English isn’t my first language and Adira being a female name where I’m from it just slipped out. I did get it right most of the time, but between articulating my thoughts and writing in English, I stumbled here and there.

Or you can choose to no longer post here.

What is that?

Duly noted.

I would love to provide with some, but as it stands I’m not about to re-watch a show that didn’t entertain me enough in the first time just to make a point on an internet argument.

If you like the show and disagree with me, great. I believe there’s another season coming, so enjoy.

Ha! I am very bad with names.

Don’t be like that. We’re all discussing in good faith here.

Before that happens, Adira spends considerable time with the ghost boyfriend on how would that be received and goes through considerable angst processing it. Before even that it’s shown them in considerable anguish to come out to their boyfriend even.

Of that arc, the one thing well executed was the 90 seconds you pointed.

So yeah, most of it shouldn’t happen in a welcoming environment in the 25th century. Her adoptive parents had no issue being a gay couple adopting a teenager, in which universe would that teenager ever feel the need to hide their sexuality and insecurities from them? Why the anguish?

It’s pretty much established since TNG and DS9 that pansexuality is mainstream. In The Outcast, Riker was involved with a non binary alien; the episode wasn’t about the reactions (the crew was absolutely nonchalant about it), with Worf supporting Riker trying to rescue the alien that broke their social customs. You can still send a message with a good in universe justification.

There’s no in universe justification for Adira. She doesn’t come from a backwards culture, has crazy conservative parents, there’s no atavic crewmate around, no aliens taking offense… It’s a non conflict. It’s bad writing.

To be clear, it’s a message that needs to be on TV. But it’s a damn shame they did it so poorly when it could easily have been set up to actually create a conflict that would then be resolved. You need in universe bigots to show bigotry being overcomed.

She approaches Riker levels of pansexuality.

At least Picard learned to play the flute.

There was a multi episode story arc about a teenager (forgot her name, had a teenage boyfriend and got adopted by Stamets/Cullen) coming out as non binary and choosing they as their pronoun.

It was very heavy handed on drama, whereas if there was any internal consistency, there wouldn’t be any “coming out” at all because “staying in the closet” wouldn’t be a thing. The whole thing felt like having a Jane Austen dialogue in present Norway.

I would love to be able to say this was a one off occurrence, but pretty much all dialogue is heavy handed, with excessive drama not supported by the fiction. While TNG is rather under acted, DSC is heavily over acted. Out goes technobabble, in comes soap opera.

There’s a lot less Jadzia than it should have. Everybody knows Jadzia fucked.

You gotta belive not. All that residue there, prime for bacteria attack…

But not bad breath?

I forecast market saturation with space themed media soon, with several cancelations and gritting of teeth.

iconic chair with the goal “to demolish the stereotypical ideal of the proper sitting posture”.

More like demolishing people’s backs.

Look at my huge horga’hn.

There’s no way the writers weren’t joking when they named this.

I don’t think you’ll find much resistance to your opinion.
