Has the writing gotten any better?
Depends on what you disliked about it.
But imo season 3 is where the series grows it's beard.
I just realized I meant to say 4. 3 was kinda fun actually. But dang, this whole opener of 4 with the "butterfly-people" and soap opera style banter during and post fight was just too much. I really liked the protagonist in early seasons but now everything just seems so campy.
Edit:refered to my other comment in this thread
I thought season four was amazing. I personally love scifi with big alien weirdness and was very happy to see a Trek series do that, an avenue it doesn't usually go down. I am probably the only person who loved Disco's season one style of Klingons because they felt legit alien. It's one thing to do diplomacy with drunk space vikings, but the prospect of finding common ground with the totally unrelatable Klingons in Season one was scary and exciting.
