Despite that, I think there were some interesting things about that season, and despite the oddness that was that plot, Saru and iPad baby was somehow still enjoyable.
I just feel like they squandered their interesting new setting with season 4 (granted, I haven’t finished season 4); there were so many plots that could have sprung organically from the fall of the Emerald Chain and the rebuilding of the Federation, but no, we have to make up this stupid DMA as a big bad again, and we have to do another plot about dealing with grief.
Heck, we could have kept the DMA and still blown up Booker’s homeworld, but let his family live and instead have written a story about living in diasporas, rather than beating the dead horse that is DISCO’s take on individual grief.
