Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen?
klemptor@startrek.website 4 weeks agoIt seems like every episode of Discovery must contain:
- A red alert
- A fistfight or space battle
- Egregious unnecessary special effects
- A tear-filled conversation, often at a very inappropriate time
- A character saying “When I was younger” to start a stupid overwrought reason why the current mission has personal meaning for them due to some deep trauma or insecurity
- Somebody saying how important it is to “connect” with others
- Some race against the clock that would not be needed if the characters would quit crying to each other and act like goddamn professionals
- Cringeworthy unprofessional levels of awkwardness
I’m speed-hatewatching my way through it, on season 5 right now and I can’t wait until this stupid shit is over.

I fully agree with your assasement, it gives me alot of SBI/DEI vibes as if there is a certain quota to be reached.
It looks more like it was about bringing a message acros that pure entertainment, sure it had its moments epic ones too.
But the execution of the acting part was very disappointing.
