Season 4 Episode 6 should get a prize...
... for the stupidest Star Trek episode ever.
shareMy list:
-Ensign Cortez has a instant transport badge from 900 years into the future and yet they still can't escape situations with combusted hulls into space?
-Gray (gray alien?), the gender bender having to run to the bridge deck when previously before he/it/thing told the AI Zaros to tell them directly instead. Talk about stupid.
-Gray has break out acne or something. So many damn pimples. Clean your damn face yo. As if Tilly wasn't hard enough to already look at.
-An overly emotional ship computer named Zora? Really? This ship is progressive to the core. Discovery doesn't mean space, actually means LGBTQ+ emotional discovery. So much trite and overly emotional drama after another with overacting facial reactions to them. Literally no form of professionalism with this crew.
Ep 1-4 Gender bender drama, Ep 5 was decent then went back to being bad again in Ep 6. Christ, the only reason I stuck this long was the CGI and better seasons from before but now its just... Doesn't feel like Star Trek no more. I'm about to drop the whole show altogether if it keeps going on like this.
I can only watch it if I treat it as a parody. Star Dreck Very Disco

Wait until they discover that it identifies as a disabled non-binary lesbian black trans-woman ...
Jonathan Frakes directed the episode and says:

There’s also Zora [Annabelle Wallis], an artificial intelligence with emotions. That sounds awfully familiar to Data but a different take as well.
Jonathan Frakes: It has a lot of Data, doesn't it? Aspiring to have sentience and aspiring to have human emotions. There's a wonderful actress who plays Zora I directed before Annabelle Wallis voiced her and it was very, very useful. [In the episode], there's a small couplet of actors, meaning Michael, Saru [Doug Jones], and Zora in the elevator [scene] and, obviously, Zora plays a significant role in the last act.
But as Zora's sentience and character has been revealed, as the season goes on, I think it's intriguing that the other characters on the show treat Zora with respect and a certain level of politeness and civility that one doesn't associate with talking to Siri or a computer or Alexa. I think it's very clever what's happening with Zora, frankly.
I could get if it were Data since he's just one android but this is a ship wide system that has all the functions of the ship itself.
