        Good lord, will we finally get a deconstruction of Pon'farr and a Vulcan who can finally just say "Hey, its time for my seven year super horny time." and then go off on the other vulcans how illogical it is to not keep their shipmates appraised of what can be a serious medical condition?

          This is not an objective reason to drop a show.

          "Bi" is animation code for "dyke, but she was already shown flirting or dating a man so we need an excuse"

          >"Bi" is animation code for "dyke,
          No, it really isn't.

          I think this is less about homophobia but just fatigue. Back when S1 was airing we used to joke about this.
          >okay, this is so good, when are they going to make the lead a lesbian like in every other show
          And of course they did. Because that's the trope.

          It's fatigue for me, certainly, but I haven't dropped a show over it alone like [...], any more than a dozen other tired insincere tropes. The day I'm caught b***hing about gays on Cinemaphile, kindly blow my brains out.

          You don't "fatigue" of seeing people in relationships in story. This is just a common occurrence. Just see a bi as something normal.

            I fatigue of seeing corporate suits trying to inveigle me and mine while also conveniently doubling down on sex appeal for heterosexual men. It's transparently insincere and insulting. It's not the character relationship I object to, it's the patronising attitude.

              It's all absolutely in your head, anon. Bi people exist in real life, that's all you need for a justification for them to be featured in a show. there is zero insincerity, it's just a thing.

                Queer is just a qualifier, not a trope. You might as well complain that the main protag is white and blond.

                Maybe, but objectively, in Lower Deck, that couple has been showed as nothing but a normal relationship. If Jennifer had been a dude, there wouldn't have been much of a difference.

                If your only grip is that Jen is a girl, then it might be time for you to realise you might have some bad negative conditioning.

                It would have been just as bad and random. But you can't really market a show using a random het relationship, now can ye? No one would have cared if it weren't queer, and people would actually be a lot more eager to criticize it.

                There was objectively nothing bad with that. It's just a main-cast dating a side-character. It happens frequently and there is no reason to be upset by it.

            Mariner is not just a liar but also stereotypical nepotistic brat with Mommy/Daddy issues. The problem is that they really want you to sympathize with her even though Wesley Crusher was hated for the same reasons and was less of a douchebag than Mariner.
            >Bi is code for dyke
            It is but for a different reason. Lesbians are old hat now so "Bi"sexuals are the new vogue to pinkwash for but they write them as stereotypical lesbians in the end. Mariner has only dated people to mostly piss off her parents/be spiteful and any form of male companionship she's had is either toxic for her or toxic for the male. Only when she's paired with a female is she truly happy/comfortable which is a stereotypical lesbian trope of coming out/rejecting men for being incompatible/detrimental to their life.
            >Real reason to dump the show
            Season 1 sucked because Mariner couldn't really take a genuine loss. The story always swoops in at the last moment to say she was in the right or have people kiss her ass, defeating the message and making her a writer's pet. Season 2 has gotten slightly better at it but not by much, especially with the lesbian arc since even Tawni Newsome (Mariner's VA) was irritated that she was stuck with a boring mean girl Lesbo plot when she wanted a DS9 adventure like Boimer & Tendi got. Good example was the forced breakup with her Andorian GF since they wanted to wooby Mariner by making the crew's legitimate criticisms of her backfire on everyone so she can get with Indiana Jane. Everything is by the motions clickbait level writing with Lower Decks and it'll just get worse with every season.

                >She doesn't lie as much as anyone else
                In universe she does. Season 1 with the fake ferengi ep. Season 2 had an entire episode about her lying so much that it got the party in trouble and even ends with her still lying to puff up the group which would lead to more trouble. Even Boimler with doesn't lie as much as Mariner when he has a weasel moment and Tendi & Rutherford barely lie as well compared to Mariner.
                >It isnt
                I see you're getting desperate and just going "nuh uh" but it really is. Most of the "bi" female characters are coded as lesbians escaping bad male relationships and never looking/going back to them. Korra was like that with Asami after being a messy b***h with Bolin when Asami was dating him, PB & Marcy are like that with their various boyfriends in the interim just being rebounds when they're broken up and often inadequate/inept or straight up stereotypical male abusers to push them back into sapphic embraces. Mariner has stated she's been with men but we really haven't seen that and ironically her jump from the Andorian to the new girl is a similar pattern.
                >Season 1 Sucked
                For the reasons I stated it did. Season 1 of TNG was lampooned for similar issues with plot and Wesley eps in the later half too. Mariner comes off much more unlikeable than even Wesley in Season 1 because of her flippant attitude.

And sure, it was barely in the show, and it ended, but the writer still thought that it was a good idea. And it's very telling of the kind of writer McMahan is. The sleazy, rainbow capitalist kind of writer.

                And it was an overall net loss for the show, because no one was happy in the end. The small percentage of boomers who hate diversity dropped the show altogether, the shippers were upset, and people who actually looked forward to it were disappointed by the botched execution.
                It was a terrible idea, and it never should have made it into the final product. It's something so stupid that it belongs in a fanfic. A bad fanfic.

                Not really. Protagonist dating side character is quite frequent in TV show. There is nothing terrible about that.

                I retract my initial statement. This was actually the dumbest relationship in all of Star Trek. Dumber than Worf/Troi; more random and awkward than Seven/Chakotay. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if it was just a one-episode thing and was properly fleshed out, but it just refused to go away and remained in the background like a sorry reminder that the show is now worse.

                I'll give you this: if you look at it in isolation, it probably isn't the worst thing ever. Yeah, dating side characters is a quite frequent in TV shows. But we can't look at in isolation. Seven/Chakotay and Worf/Troi were disliked because they went against very popular relationships in the fandom. And in the wider context of the show, and how the audience interacts with it, this was very much an anti-Beckett/Brad thing. People are less willing to accept something like that if it goes directly against what they wanted. So it was not only a random relationship frivolously inserted into the show; it simultaneously was a jab at another character relationship. And that's what makes it bad.

                And the fact that we're still discussing its stupidity should be rather telling of how just how destructive it was to the fandom. And this is not exclusive to Cinemaphile. Reddit is still arguing whether the purple twink and the black tomboy should have gotten together pretty much every other day. The enormity of this frick up will haunt the show until the very end.

                It's rather standard for when a main protagonist date a background one, you have no valid reason to dislike it.

                To quote my favorite bad Star Trek captain, “context is for kings.” If it happened back in Season One, no one would be upset. It would be inconsequential (debatable, it was a season-long arc in an episodic show), like you said. But instead, it happened at the worst possible time, and was earth-shattering instead. Just a colossal failure of writing and imagination.

                >inb4 Mariner and Boimler weren't meant to be shipped
                Authorial intent is irrelevant; the only thing that matters is how the audience interprets your work. Who cares if it wasn't meant to upset anyone? It did. And for as long as this show is going, it'll never go away. Do you know understand why I called it a net loss?

                Hell, it wouldn't be nearly as bad if upsetting the audience was the intention, because that's respectable. Like killing off Joel in TLOU2. It pissed people off, because it was meant to; the story doesn't work without it. But there's nothing worse than upsetting people by accident, which is what happened with Lower Decks. That speaks more to the writers' incompetence than anything else.

                No, it absolutely didn't. It WAS inconsequential and there was no failure, there Just a main cast dating a secondary character.

                >inb4 Mariner and Boimler weren't meant to be shipped
                Not what I said, but it's clearly still too early for that to happens. That's not where they were at this point in their relationship and Boilmer was still too focused on affirming himself while Mariner still had her personal issues to deal with.

                >But there's nothing worse than upsetting people by accident
                Aside from a few morons, it upset no one. As there are objectively no reason to be upset. This is nothing but immature "something got in the way of my ship".

      Lower Decks is the microcosm of everything that is wrong with modern adult animation... and so is Velma.

      You jest, but the Boimler/Mariner 'ship getting sunk killed most of the enthiusiasm surrounding this show. At least on Cinemaphile.

        To be fair season 3 was absolute shit, Mariner is a dyke, no rebel plot, "trust the system" episode, no Vulcan Mariner

      Oh anon... When you say they turned her into a dyke, what you actually mean is that they didn't hook her up with Boimler. And I agree.

            Not really. It's its own thing but in no way does it reflect badly on Lower Decks.

              No. It's not its own thing. They're both Star Trek shows, and Prodigy just so happens to a better Star Trek show.

                That's opinion, anon. And it definitely doesn't make LD look like an embarrassment.

          Around episode 5-6 it improves greatly. The Star wars trick is to hook up normies in eps1-2.

      He didn't do that, some morons pulling irrational tantrum for no rational reason did. Season 3's final was great and there was no reason to complain about it.

    I want to like it but I hate how everybody is a 21st century butthole despite living in the 24th, nobody acts like they were raised in a post-scarcity society that had moved beyond petty personal squabbles. Everyone's just a sarcastic witty jerk-ass, it gets boring.

      But they aren't. Most of them love Starfleet and what it stand for.

        >But they aren't
        Every single member of the Ceritos crew is a fricking butthole, from the captain down to the lowest ensign, just an entire ship of pricks. Even the 'friendly' ones are just wearing a thin veneer of civility that breaks as soon as shit hits the fan.

          Wrong. You didn't watch the show.

          I've been thinking about giving this another chance, but I only made it halfway through season 1 and thought it was terrible.

          It keep getting better.
