DSC S4E3

A solid famX1!

I want to comment on the improvement in production of discovery, but I suppose it is to be expected by season 4. The self-intertwining epic mythologic tale of the good versus the universe unravels itself in front of us. It might be my own stage of life but these episodes of endings of lives, endings of a whole planet, this story resonates with me. It could also just be that sound effects, editing and music has gotten a whole lot better, maybe by 900-some years, idk, the show is quite cinematic now.

The movements of Star Treks:

  • TOS: getting there and back alive, the righteous way, with friends.
  • TNG: getting there, making friends and making it a lot better for everyone
  • DS9: getting there and staying there
  • VOY: getting back alive
  • ENT: getting somewhere in one piece
  • DSC: break things, pick up pieces, die or not, and put everything back together with ever present anticipation of total loss.
  • PIC: …
  • PRD: wohooo!

The reference to ending of paths seems to have very strong roots in human mythologies. I’m not sure where these writers get their inspirations but the teachings sound quite vogue “… one must be radically candor with one’s self at the end of a path… “ and “…we’re just play the instruments, let’s hope director knows the orchestra…” I can definitely see a young child picking up on this and repeatedly thinking in all kinds of situations as I did with teachings like “the good of many outweigh the good of one,” and many sentiments like “I’m a doctor, not a…”, “you have always been and shall always remain my friends…”, “I want to be more human”, “…wanting is not as good as having”, …

The show is probably not for me. All but one Asian actors have character that remain 900 years later, and he is still a lieutenant… Capitan Lorca claims to have yellow-face ancestry related to fortune cookies, but he was as crooked as the mirror universe. Anyways, no biggie, I still learned a lot watching Trek even with few important Asian crew. The show still has lasting cultural and creative value not caring too much about Asians… I mean I don’t want to repeat the comment but they are about 35% of current human population right now. There must be a story some where that kills them off to <10% of Starfleet human population, a devastating decimation that will last into the next millennium.

So, overall withh huh FAMx1, I give
