True that. Discovery went down a path of increasingly ridiculous galaxy-spanning crises, which always got solved by the same crew…
I fucking laughed out loud when I called that “the burn” was straight up caused by some dude being extra lonely on a planet somewhere. And then the writers patted each other on their backs for such genius symbolism that I saw coming a mile away because that was just the kind of stupid I expected from Discovery by then.
Has someone made a crying montage yet? The show constantly has the characters get ultra-emotional as crutch to say “yo that’s super deep, feel some feelings now, viewer!” and it didn’t work even once.

A badly-made show with good writing can survive and succeed in spite of it all.
A well-made show with bad writing has a forever uphill battle.
Yet the budget for writers is the first thing that always seems to get cut.
