Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

I really liked how they displayed the Klingons, went a bit away from the old humans with a bad rash on the forehead trope. Also that they spoke Klingons when no non-Klingons is around.

But yeah, the lighting was atrocious, but that was a flaw on the whole show. It all waas so unnecessary dark.

Yeah!

The actual additions to Klingon lore, and cultrue, I loved.

I just wished I could have seen more of it with better lighting.

(As opposed to the the Kelvin universe, which I wish I could have sen more of with less lens flare. Haha. I'm realizing I might be a lighting snob.)

Well that also undid the lore that says all the humanoid races have a common ancestor which I thought was one of the few good pieces of ST lore.

Does it? It is just more pronounced, which I like. I thought the common ancestors thing isn't really canon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That bit of lore is completely silly. Humans share a common ancestor with bananas if we go back far enough, and "The Chase" proposes to go back even further than that. Still a good episode, though.

However, nothing in Disco's Klingon's undoes that. We saw Klingon precursors when Worf was devolved into one in "Genesis" -- another episode that has a Hollywood writer's understanding of evolution -- and he had an exoskeleton, mandibles, and spit acid.
