having this […] an F-bomb episode is really a step backwards rather boldly going forwards.
Indeed. Not impressed by the Discovery crew’s swearing in the latest episode. This heralds back to my previous arguments about how just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Why they have to say f*** and sh** just because they don’t have TV broadcast censors is beyond baffling to me. Being gratuitously vulgar is not “hip”. It does not add depth to the characters or the story. This show, while gritty, was still somewhat family friendly on a certain level. Now it is not.
Star Trek is supposed to be family friendly. I want to be able to watch Trek with my young daughter. But I sure as hell can’t watch Discovery with her now until she’s a teenager.
JEDIT: After some thought, that seals it. I’m not purchasing this stupid show when it comes out on disc. Nor am I going to pay CBS monthly for it.
