Watching StarTrek Discovery…

How has the Federation been around for over 1000 years at this point, and no one has figured out that 5 point harnesses on the bridge chairs would prevent like 80% of all bridge crew injuries? 🤦‍♂️

I got halfway through the first half of the first episode and then the main character committed a mutiny and I was like... nahhh. 😂

@thepreposterouspanda Gods, seriously. Voyager was the absolute worst, and I still watched it all the way through. Let’s face it, 7 is worth it. A little anyway 😂

@Zaphod42 A little bit, but not nearly worth it enough to sit through an episode of the show XD

@thepreposterouspanda Well, I mean, if you can ignore the two dimensional characters with zero story arc, the constant rehashing of things all the other previous series did with just tiny superficial tweaks, the most inconsistent captain in all of starfleet, and the only ship in service that requires the pylons to move for variable warp geometry, then it’s still pretty bad. But it’s Star Trek, so I watched 😂

But the inertial dampers are supposed to take care of that AND allow the crew to walk around and carry out their duties.

@ChipmunkErnie Supposed to, sure, but every week they hit something, or get hit by something, or there’s a gravitational anomaly, or inertial dampeners go offline, or the grav plating fails, or something else happens to throw them around in some way. Just a freaking 3 point seat belt would help some for gods sake! The thing we’re all legally required to wear in a car, which is several thousand times smaller so less inertia in an impact.

Seriously, where is the Federation’s version of OSHA?! 😂

@Zaphod42 LOL I don't know. I tried to watch DISCOVERY and was so turned off by it's almost non-existent link to anything really STAR TREK that I gave up on it during the first season.

It was just so cool to see them do the Star Trek shake😆

discovery can't compete with next gen, deep space 9, voyager or enterprise. it's marginally better than picard imo. not my fav star trek

@tenente I haven’t watched Picard yet. I’ll agree with TNG, if stipulated seasons 3-7. DS9 is still my favorite. Voyager is rock bottom bad. Lower Decks, while not cannon, is fantastic.

@Zaphod42 haven't seen decks, will check it
