I’m sorry to anyone I gave shit to about the writing or about it being the Michael Burnham Whining Hour. Y’all were right.

Expect a name change soon.

    Sorry bud, I had to stop at “the new season showed her” because I still want to see it for myself and form my own opinions without spoilers.

    But I’m sorry they ruined the whole thing for you since I know how much you were looking forward to the season.

      I did not post spoilers. You could have just not responded instead of saying “Sorry, I didn’t read what you said.”

        I wanted to tell you I was sorry about it being ruined for you. And I did read the comment up to that point!

        Edit: And now I read the whole thing since there were no spoilers. And yeah, Michael is a stupid name. I never got that.

          Sorry. I didn’t sleep. A few things going on but this stupid fucking show has really been bugging me.

          Apparently according to the EPs, Michael was chosen because Trek has a history of switching things up. Michael has been used in the past as a womans name so they decided to use it here. Basically the skant but in name form. It’s fucking dumb.

            Yeah, that is not the greatest reasoning. That’s a real “we did it because we could” sort of thing rather than “here’s why she has this name” in a way that you didn’t need an explanation from the EPs instead of watching the show. I hate it when shows do that.
