Too many “what got cancelled too soon” questions, what’s a show that went on too long?
Hard mode: no The Walking Dead
Star Trek discovery, should have ended after the intro
Watching Star Trek Discovery was like reading Ayn Rand, except after hammering their point over and over, all the characters get 50 page recap monologues instead of just John Galt. EDIT: I loved that it was Fabulous, but the writing felt like it was written by cis het college freshmen allies. There are ways to be queer as fuck that don’t suck donkey ballz. There were SO MANY “and then everyone clapped” moments.
All the characters? Discovery is the Michael Burnham show. It’s a shame she’s such a terrible person.
I’m on the fence about your comment. I agree that many of the 50 page inspiring monologues were hers. But I’m failing to see what makes her a terrible person. Hotheaded, poor impulse control, not a team player (wait am I talking about myself?), sure. Implausibly permitted to lead time and again in a way that makes it difficult to suspend disbelief, absolutely. But terrible? She’s not space Karen.
I think Discovery is the reverse of the question, if that show has started at series 3 with them arriving in the future and slowly piecing together how they got there, it would have been much more enjoyable.
That would have required them to have a well-conceived plan before commencing the show. Instead, we got Klingons with craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (remember the movie “Mask” with Cher?), 10,000 inspirational speeches per episode, and life-or-death action moments that required everyone to stop everything to talk about their feelings while the ship falls apart around them.
