This show is so promising. Don't want to see it devolve into woke shit.  |
Having somebody be bi isn't having Discovery creep into it. Discovery is a complete pile of garbage for many reasons that go well beyond what sexual orientation anybody is. S4 of that show might actually be the worst full season of television I've ever seen.
And I liked the episode all right. Obviously it was a shore leave/comedy episode that is meant to be taken less than seriously, but this show is able to pull it off pretty well because they have a likable cast that they are actually taking the time to develop (unlike, for example, the casts of Discovery and Picard which were ignored at best and awful at worst).
It's still hard to believe that this show actually is as consistently good as it is. First Star Trek live action thing that I've actually looked forward to watching each week since the reboot and it's kind of disappointing that we're only getting 10 episodes of it (instead of 20+ like in the old days). Hope they kept this same writing staff together for S2.
