I have to admit that I'm impressed at how incredibly committed the haters are to continue stewing in their negativity and commenting on a show they despise many years after they stopped watching.

There were problems with the show from the beginning, and there have been some clunky, eye-rolling choices and dialogue, but it's had some good storylines (particularly season two) too.

It was an incredibly bold decision to jump into the far future of the Star Trek timeline. That was probably the most dynamic choice in any Star Trek media since The Next Generation launched, a series which also garnered a lot of hate from Star Trek "fans" early in its run.

Of course, Discovery is no TNG, and the writing isn't as good, but I can appreciate that it's tried to do something completely unique each season.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the final season, but I won't necessarily mourn it once it's gone.

Apparently nuance is confusing on the Internet

I think Picard would say "hoisted by your own petard".

It should've died at season 3 but I guess they really can't let up squeezing the last drop of life from this garbage.
