Modern #StarTrek is weird. It's far from a disaster, but it also feels like nobody in the writer's room cares about the same details I do. Not that that's necessary for a good episode, there's been plenty of those, but so many little details in the background make me cringe.
The whole refit/retrofit thing with the Titan was an annoying example. Words were tossed into a script without a great understanding of what they mean (refit and retrofit are different things guys!) and then we got a bunch of tortured worldbuilding to try and explain it all.
"Frontier Day" is probably going to be another one. The way it is described in the show is so completely ridiculous (the entire fleet assembled in one place) that I figured it had to be hyperbole or something but characters go out of their way to repeat this detail over and over
Where was Admiral S. F. Hubris when that plan was being cooked up?
