General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I’ve been a huge FAM fan from the beginning primarily for the show’s potential.
Seasons 2 and 3 featured some interpersonal plot twists and astonishingly ridiculous plot choices (avoiding spoilers) that made the show nearly insufferable.
Season 4 seems to have gotten things back on track for the most part. There is still a hint of ridiculousness going on, but I’m mostly satisfied.
At the same time, I wish the show was allowed to jettison some of the pulpy elements and have a bit more auteur flare. But it’s so rare to actually see a television show that’s this ambitious actually make it a few seasons that I hesitate to ask for more.
Loved season one. Had a major WTF reaction to a development in season two and hoped it would never be referenced again. But nope.
I bailed one third through season three. The one storyline involving an unlikable character’s unhealthy obsession just became too much.
If you tell me that season four gets away from that, I might be willing to finish season three (fast forwarding through the obession-related scenes).
I think I know what you’re talking about and the end of Season 3 resolves that character’s story.
Oof. I don't have good news for you on the Season 3 front.
