I just started watching Discovery season 3. I was quite traumatized by the low quality of s02, but I decided to give season 3 a chance because I like most of the characters. Now comes the point. I do like Saru a lot nowadays, but at first I was put off a bit by his treatment of the tardigrade. Did any of you mind his lack of empathy for the animal? Or were you alright with him treating the creature as a resource without thinking twice? It feels kind of wrong to me when his own nation is treated as a resource on his home planet.
I’m curious what made season 2 low quality for you, can you elaborate on that? I also finished season 2 yesterday, currently giving Discovery another try on my journey to watch all of Star Trek since I watched it as it was releasing but I stopped halfway through because the Terran Empire thing was difficult to keep track of for me at the time (probably because it helps my memory if I can watch an episode a day and don’t have to wait a week for the next one to keep track of the storyline). My rewatch made me a pretty big fan though and don’t really understand the hate it got/gets in the fanbase.
