Y'all can lose your mind over Kevin all you want. I'm just staring at this man...

Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
So that's a "no?"
I believe I made it quite clear that I get to do the pithy bot mot that's actually nonsense, stay in your lane.
The term is "bon mot." Don't worry though, this in no way affects my impression of your ability to judge what is or is not good writing.
I know, because there wasn't a typo the first time I wrote it. You see, gotchas like that usually work better when I haven't already used the term before in a comment that you previously responded to. Don't worry though, this in no way affects my impression of your ability to pay attention to what passes in front of your eyeballs.
I do, however, take it as an admission that you had to resort to making fun of me to have something to say, just like how I already expect your next comment to be an attempt at affecting aloof detachment.
I'm actually still just waiting for you to give some examples of bad writing in Disco.
I was waiting also, and a little annoyed at the facetious replies. However, I'm going to make a (very cheap) attempt (that plagiarises heavily from the first hit on a search):
I would add that, while you could maybe apply some of the criticisms against Michael Burnham towards other captains and commanders in other series, the difference is that they were in commanding roles, and thus inherently central. It generally feels that Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, etc would divert attention away from themselves to their crew, as if to promote them, while Burnham always seems to be jumping into the limelight for herself.
There were a few points I skipped because I didn't really agree with them, and some of the ones I included no doubt could be applied to other Trek shows, but I'd still say that Discovery has plenty of flaws worth highlighting. That doesn't mean it's a terrible show, but it's far from the best example of Star Trek, in my opinion.
Again, I'm aware of how sealioning works. Will that be all...?
I'm sorry to say, but your behaviour here has been more like a circus seal jumping up and clapping around. You haven't really delivered any substance.
I think you have a point, but you've not taken any opportunity to articulate it.
If you hit context you should see my reply one step above, I'd appreciate if you jumped in and commented towards that.
I've engaged with a bad-faith question more candidly than it deserves.
