This sums Dico up perfectly for me. I consider myself “woke”, I share the values they are advocating in Disco very much. But it’s just. So. Shoved. Into. It.
It’s not subtle, it’s not something coming naturally to the story in most cases. It’s just badly writen into a already badly written overall show.
I disagree that it’s because of ‘‘shoved’’ or overt politics. It’s just God awful writing and a terrible idea for a ST show. They made it a chronological story about one protagonist. There’s consistent bridge crew we don’t even know their names, their character or story, or even get to hear them talk besides ‘‘there’s a [thing] captain!’’ Type of shit.
No ensemble stories, no stand alone stories, and very close to no science fiction at all. It’s all just trying to give you high stakes action scenes with close to nothing else happening.

And that, to be honest, is a shame.

Hardest part of liking Disco for me was I couldn’t shake the feeling they stretched Star Treks skin over another shows pilot/first season.
This actually makes a lot of sense. You might be right.
