The drubbing of the Michelle Yeoh-led streaming film now holds a dubious title—one that reflects something much more interesting than simple schadenfreude.

I stopped watching Discovery after a season and a half, I found it grating and unwatchable, it was just simply awful. I've enjoyed Strange New Worlds, except the singing episode, that one I didn't making it through the first 10 minutes. I'd like to think the failure of Section 31 will teach them something, but it probably won't, I mean the other brain trust is about to force another Daisy Ridley Star Wars on us. le sigh.
- You need to try The Lower Decks. The only nu-trek show that actually does Star Trek right.
  
  loud, shrill and annoying, made it 4 or 5 eps. liked the crossover with snw though
  
  You’d have to make it past season 1. They tone down the “Adult animated comedy” Schtick quite a bit and just becomes actual Star Trek.
- I also stopped watching Discovery (but I think I'll go back specifically for Tig Notaro). I was thinking I'd found a kindred spirit. However, the musical episode of Strange New Worlds is amazing and you're depriving yourself from enjoying good things.
  What was wrong with Daisy Ridley? Aside from the weird swerve at the end where they made her boring instead of cool.

  I remember when Buffy: The Vampire Slayer did a singing episode and everyone went nuts for it. Probably helps that the Buffy cast was already a bunch of shameless drama nerds itching for exactly this chance to shine. Then it just became a trope within the Sci-Fi / Teen Fantasy genre that kept getting well received because of course a bunch of Hollywood B/C-list actors are going to ham it up the first chance they get.
  But I did not get the sense that the SNW cast actually knew how to sing. Like, did they rehearse this beforehand? It felt so amateurish by comparison. The lyrics were also just so flat. It feels like you shouldn't need to work that hard to do a Star Trek musical number. But that episode was painfully phoned in, particularly given how hard they went in others.

  Daisy Ridley was the best thing to come out of The Sequels. She and Adam Driver carried that mess for three movies as it collapsed around them. If you got rid of everything but Daisy Ridley, I'd be happy to see her get another bite at the apple. She's still got to feed slop to that fucking Mouse, though.
- Stargate is pretty good. If you watch enough Stargate, Trek actors start filtering over quite a bit.
