Pfffffft....King I didn't vote for him

I think mushroom guy helped finance this new disaster in space.
I'll donate 1 million to production if you somehow shoehorn my name and occupation into the plot

Just need to mention...you know the guy who plays Stamets is the guy who took Kevin Spacey off the board?
Okay, what else was fucked up about the episode?

As an aside...not only did I start watching Enterprise again, I also am going to try and watch TNG with an open mind. So I watched season 1, episode 1 (Encounter at Farpoint). This episode is the reason for my hatred of TNG without watching any of it other than this episode. I had seen this one before about a million years ago, but I had forgotten most of it. Two giant space jellyfish. That's all I needed on top of everything else that bothered me. BUT, I am going to watch it when I don't have other shows in the queue that I am currently watching. I am going to give it a fair shake.
The whole equating Saru's backstory to the same thing as the illegals trying to come into the US Could the writers have been any more heavy handed in their analogy.
What I like about this guy is, he WANTS to like the show. He doesn't care about the same things we do (cannon, stuff looking MORE advanced and futuristic on a prequel, etc), but when the show is bad, he has no problem ripping into it, unlike the thousands of shills out there writing reviews for this pile of crap of a show.
From one of those shill sites recap of the last episode.Evidently it took the (glorious) return of Tig Notaro’s Jett Reno and her unbelievably good scientist roasts to make me realize it’s not just Tilly and Stamets getting psyched about “the power of math, people” — relative to the rest of the Federation, the entire Disco crew is all Tillys. If the Enterprise and Voyager were Gryffindors, the Discovery is a Ravenclaw.* And this insane pacing (not to mention all the hard science that’s more rigorous than anything seen in Treks previous) is all part of the show’s earnest, eager-beaver science nerd persona. It all makes sense now! These are the biggest dorks of Starfleet, and this week we saw them in full-on geek mode as they rushed to solve a fistful of mysteries — all while feeling the biggest feelings.
From the comments section on io9, part of the Gizmodo network.
That there is a common complaint about the first episode and season of TNG. I haven't watched all of the episodes. I think I liked Voyager better because of the Borg, 7 of 9, the idea they're in a really remote quadrant where anything can happen.
TNG established its own fans and won me over eventually. At least when they screw with canonical ideas they attempt to create something new that's worth watching. Having an empath crewmember was not great in my opinion or the eventual weird dating triangle of Deanna, Riker and Worf. Sorry, spoilers.
Data had so many storylines I almost believed he was an artificial life form at times. Picard is cool in his own way, there is some humor so yeah...it's worth the slog.
