Why would star fleet put a psychopathic torturer/mass murderer inc genocide and cannibal of sentient humanoids in such a sensitive position where she has the lives of countless people and is very near the top of chain of command of the federation? It doesn't just go against everything the federation and star fleet pertains to believe in but has to be the biggest security risk in history. Its like making the Borg queen an admiral if she was down on her luck. I'm only on series 2 but this makes no sense at all.

Obvious spoilers below

There are many potentially game breaking things like the ring of 3 wishes in D&D that takes the fun out of the game.

I have been watching the first 2 seasons and I can't help but think that so much of the story is based around universe breaking items introduced that create and solve all of their problems. I have been a huge ST fan all my life, watched every series pre2000 multiple times, read over 100 of the novels and discovery just feels broken.

First and obviously the spore drive. The Spore Drive is Discovery’s ultimate warp-hack. It lets the ship jump across the entire galaxy in seconds by tapping into a mycelial network that connects everything, everywhere, any time and in any dimension. This is like having an epic-level teleportation spell in D&D! Just like a well-placed teleport (or even a wish spell) can turn the tide in a D&D game, the Spore Drive gives the Discovery crew an insane advantage even bringing people back to life.

When the Discovery crew finds the Sphere Data, it’s like stumbling upon an ancient, all-knowing artifact. This data holds insane amounts of information about everything the sphere’s seen over millennia. Imagine finding an item in D&D that gives you forbidden knowledge or endless foresight. Don't know something? oh let's just access this all-knowing database.

There is probably more but I am only in the 2nd season and I dont want to make this too long.

I am disappointed in the writing of this series. So much artificial drama and lack of the spirit that made Star Trek such an awesome series my whole life.

Discovery using her warp drive for a change which would be kind of weird if she got a super drive that would be the fastest drive in the galaxy that would make even the Borg and voth salivate.

Finally got around to watching Season 5.

And I am blown away! It was really good Star Trek: science, action, decent character and world building, and also staying in the roots of Trek.

I thought season 4 was decent as well.

I am glad this show ended so strongly. I have been a fan since the beginning, but I am not blind to its faults.

Hi folks,

First time posting.

I was reading about the WWII era atomic bomb tests at bikini atoll and nearby Kwajalein and noticed the similarity in the names (Kwejian vs. Kwajalein) and in the theme of a people being displaced from a vibrant, natural home by a destructive technology/force from another culture.

I was curious if anyone had any to suggest the name was an intentional reference or if was just a coincidence?

I definitely don't have the trek background here some folks do - so forgive if this has been covered before or there is a earlier source that is already clear on the name's origin.

Thanks!

... your home for discussion on the animated comedy as it begins its final season on Thursday, Oct. 24!

With nods to every corner of the franchise -- the more obscure, the better -- Star Trek: Lower Decks has wormed its way into fans' hearts just like Ceti eels worm their way into ears. Yes, there is consternation that Paramount+ is ending the show while it's still going strong, but there are ten more episodes of churro-flavored goodness to enjoy. May your bananas remain hot and may the Cerritos keep on trekkin'.

Other active subs in our network:

r/StrangeNewWorlds (third season coming in 2025)

r/TrekAcademy (for the upcoming Starfleet Academy series)

r/StarTrekS31 (for the upcoming Michelle Yeoh movie)

r/ClassicTrek (for discussion of TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and the films)
