  • The dislike of Discovery is a totally valid opinion, but this is a poor & disrespectful take.

    Except this is what I disliked about Discovery. You’d have ten minutes of activity that actually moved the plot forward, followed by twenty minutes of crew “checking in” with each other in order to discuss everyone’s feelings about what just happened while also rehashing events from past episodes. It was like watching a Spanish telenovela, where every second piece of dialogue was intended to remind you of what happened in the last episode…just in case you forgot.

    Every episode was 3/4 dialogue, discussing what we all watched happen in the first 1/4. It felt like every season should have taken 3 episodes…not 14. In the last couple of seasons, I literally skipped entire episodes, and it did nothing to impact the plot.


  • The Supreme Court refused to prosecute Trump (for a blatantly illegal act) and ruled that he was immune to prosecution for “official acts” which they refused to define.

    That’s what I said.

    Then they slow walked the case back to a lower court - deliberately - so the determination was not made until after the election.

    That’s not what delayed the case. The special prosecutor had to redefine the charges, in order to comply with the latest ruling, by specifying which ones were not included in Trump’s “official duties as president”. They were allowed to prosecute him for those…but inevitably ran out of time before they could proceed.

    *Then in a state court, Trump was convicted, but the judge delared there was no penalty “because only a federal court could apply punishment”.

    Then a couple of days later the DoJ dopped the case because “the president is immune from prosecution”.*

    That’s because the election happened, and it is long-standing precedent that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted…as long as he’s in office. They can and most likely still will, return that case to court, as soon as he’s out of office.
