      The cursing

      It is a single curse word.

      the attitudes

      Way too vague and I’m not sure what you mean

      “Hollywood dark mode”

      Which is a visual and stylistic choice to represent something specific in the story that changes as the story changes. Season 2 onwards is incredibly bright.

      the crass timing

      Again, incredibly vague and I have no idea what you mean

      oh god the Klingons… they look like emo versions of Nosferatu

      Which are overridden for the second season where they look way closer to normal.

      See this is stuff that the video is explicitly talking about. A lot of complaints made about Discovery that don’t seem to be based on anything. The Klingon look I get and the visual dark look of the show I disagree with but get. Everything else though? I’m just not sure where it’s coming from.

        And we’ve had ‘fuck’ used in Picard more than once. I don’t remember swearing in SNW, but I wouldn’t be shocked to hear it.

        I mean we didn’t have swearing in TOS or 80s/90s/00s Trek because it was on broadcast TV. This should just be a duh thing.

          There is an ep of Voyager where you can clearly see B’Elanna Torres mouthing “fuck!” when she gets caught doing something she ain’t supposed ta. Always loved that for her.

      and oh god the Klingons…YOU CAN’T RETCON THAT HARD!!!

      People seriously get so caught up in their pedantry, they forget where they came from. Please dismount that high-horse that you have no business being on.

      Edit: in case you’re wondering about the deleted comment under this, I was told to walk out of an airlock.

          First off, your convergence thing is just dumb. You’re trying to apply your own logical progression of what evolution is to something that doesn’t exist. Also you’re ignoring the fact that there was a virus that was given to the Klingons to change their looks.

          Second, you are the one with toxic spewback here. They were being sarcastic but you went to an insane fucking level (see point 3). Not remotely allowed in this community which is why your comment is being removed.

          Third, you just suggested someone kill themselves. Not remotely allowed in this community which is why you’ve been banned for 7 days. Take a timeout and don’t come into this community with that energy again, please.
