Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 - (*** Spoilers***)

Well after 900 years, who's to say he's not a cross breed? I'm not in this to tear the show to shreds until its cancellation and expulsion from Canon

You know what, I give up. It's not a great show but I can't tolerate having every attempt to find silver linings completely destroyed. I just can't understand that mindset.

You couldn't even oomox ears like those.

Or the ferengi attitudes towards women have changed enough in 900 years to attract females of another species and he is the product of such a union .

*Edit. I see it's been mooted as a possibility already. With the new layout I mistakenly thought I was on final page and having an original thought. Le sigh

Possible, but they probably would have announced it like the other mixed race character and it's not like Ferengi had trouble attracting some women of other species in the first place.

Whatever about being generic or crap, its no cheaper then the original Ferengi prosthetics. Just less familiar.

Star Trek has come through so many iterations at this stage that people will tolerate quite a lot in a new show. Discovery is not delivering enough to keep people interested and while it might pick up new fans, those more familiar with the history of Star Trek and the various versions of it are a lot harder to please. It has settled into a groove that many just do not like and for the most part does that quite badly too. 

I presume the new threat to the galaxy is a result of someone grieving on a planet somewhere that requires love, friendship and happiness to prevail to yet again save the day.

Once that being is no longer sad then the new threat will also disappear all thanks to the people from centuries ago arriving on their ancient ship that in no way would have realistically been upgraded to modern standards.

If Discovery was a Formula 1 fan, their favourite driver would be Lewis Hamilton.

You think that's bad. On lower decks an Ensign who should have been kicked out of Starfleet after nearly scalding captain Picard is now a captain herself in a huge first contact flagship.

Ya but one is a cartoon which I don't consider to actually be part of the continuity same as I don't think Starfleet makes people sleep in corridors

Yeah, saying an ensign spilling a drink on their captain is grounds to be drummed out of Starfleet is really reaching. It's the "worse episodes of Star Trek exist therefore STD is good actually" line of thinking.

To defend STD slightly rapid promotions exist in Star Trek, Riker was offered his first command within 7 years of graduating which a classmate of his took up when he turned it down, but making first officer (and presumably commander/lieutenant commander) within 2 years is a little too rapid. Operations officer or Chief of Security/Tactical (which would be hilarious) would be more suitable.
