Everything is based on personal takes. You enjoying Disco is a personal take. It’s my personal take that it seems obvious that when Kurtzman says he doesn’t care about violating canon because it’s too complicated, that he never really wanted to be tied down to the TOS era.
The first few seasons of the show are bizarre and jerky. They introduced tech and concepts that were too advanced for the timeline that didn’t make a ton of sense. Section 31 is my big example of that, because they have TNG-levels of equipment with combadges and a hyper advanced fleet. They operate more or less out in the open which is the total opposite purpose of a secret police in anything other than a Romulan or Cardassian-style military dictatorship. It’s just so out of place. The final battle in that season literally gives me a headache with the five hundred billion ships and shuttles.
My problem with Season 1 was that all of the solutions presented are so un-Starfleet. I understand they are consulting with Mirror universe assholes but planting a bomb in the planet core and then handing the detonator to a rebel faction is like, one of the most insane solutions I’ve ever seen come up with as a Star Trek plot, and that’s including Sisko straight up destroying atmospheres of planets in his vendetta against Eddington and the Maquis.
So yeah, opinions and personal takes.
I’m interested as to why you enjoy the series, because I’m here to converse even if we disagree on the first two seasons.

Stamets I love ya you big shroomhead but this comment felt unnecessarily hostile, and I didn’t want to be upset when I responded.
You’re right that Starfleet does tons of shitty things all the time all across the franchise. Maybe I am being overly picky about what is in line with their doctrine as they violate it constantly, as you’ve rightly pointed out. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. Star Trek can be inconsistent within itself and that’s fine.
I just want to thank you for the contributions you make to Lemmy every day between memes and posts. I appreciate you.
