well, sure. but like, the burn was this big mystery plotpoint for sooooo long and then the resolution just stupid. i watched until season four and the long arcs never resolved satisfyingly. it’s a bit like lost in that way. which is a shame because the characters and their chemistry kept me watching. except michelle yeoh’s character, which i never understood the point of other than to set up the section 31 movie.

A single season…
Again it sounds like you’re just painting the whole series with a brush because of a single season.

It’s nothing like Lost in any way though. Lost never focused on seasonal stuff so much as pushing the entire series narrative. Discovery has no overarcing plot over the whole series. Each season is distinct from the next. They refer to the previous but they don’t have much in the run of impact.
maybe i interpreted it wrong then. i think i gave it a fair shake, and i enjoyed each episode in isolation, but the big plotlines didn’t click for me. when strange new worlds started i left discovery behind.
it’s quite obvious where you stand on this, of course, so i think we can leave it at that.
One of these things is not like the other
