Why do you do this to yourself? Yes, you have every right to say "I watched the show, I didn't like it, these are the reasons why." But you keep watching it. You keep subjecting yourself to a show you clearly don't enjoy. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. If you truly didn't like the show, you'd stop watching it. So I'm left with the distinct impression you either actually do like the show, or you like the anger the show provides you.
Yet she's an anachronism (one of many). What is she? A previously unchronicled pre-Soong android, rendering literally all of the firsts and dilemmas around Data moot? A humanoid augmented with previously unchronicled implanted technologies, rendering every medical technology advance over the next 200 years - such as Geordie's Visor - outdated and irrelevant?
You know how you can't tear your eyes away from a car crash? Pretty much that. I'm watching Star Trek destroy itself in TV series form (like it did in film form) by crashing into a complete lack of understanding as to what Star Trek is and, more importantly, isn't, simply because it's a brand they can use to attract a crapload of production dollars (and yes, the production values are insanely high). And there's not much anger. A lot of disbelief, and slack-jawed awe, but not that much anger. A little, I guess.
Does it not seem insane to you that Captain Pike will caution Saru not to break the Prime Directive and almost in the next breath utterly shatter it... based on Saru telling him to?
Oh my word, the first minute of the most recent episode (If Memory Serves) is like someone read my posts and went "He thinks this is an anachronism? Oh, we'll show him!".
I get the distinct feeling that with the Control nanites and Discovery's mushroom power, they're trying to set up an origin for the modern Borg, retconning the nannites into the existing history as recalled by the Vaadwaur and the Borg Queen as the trigger for the megalomania and more efficient assimilation process.
