I tried watching the first few episodes of Star Trek: Discovery and it was so damn boring! 20 minutes of Klingons talking Klingon, an Infinity Drive that's years ahead of Warp Drive, but before Warp Drive, thats powered by ... spores? A completely unlikable main character, etc etc...

The first episode was kind of boring, but not enough to quit. I am grateful for the series. Things are getting better later. I guess we all have different expectations.
Klingons talking were not a problem for me. I mean, there is always a duo lino app to
learn Klingon or you can
sign up to KLI.
What I don't understand is why they have to change Klingon appearance? There is no reasonable explanation for that. Except that they believed old Klingons are not scary enough anymore.
Spore drive is indeed, stupid, hopefully, it will stop working at some point.
But what extremely irritated me and make me want to quit watching is gay propaganda. Made me wanted to puke and with Star Trek, I never had that feeling before.

YEEAAHHHHHHCANNNTSTANDIT!IKNOWYOUPLANNEDIT!" as stupid shit appears on screen. (Did the uncreative dorks behind this movie forget that this song was already used in Star Trek 2009?
I actually face-palmed during this movie. I was so embarrassed to be seen watching this movie. Embarrassed and ashamed. ASHAMED I TELL YOU..
YES! that movie really pissed me off... fuckinsuckinggrumblegrrwhyIotta....

Yep, this and too much action are turn off. Still watchable. In new movies and series, they probably wanted to keep the attention of a younger audience spoiled by years and years of Hollywood movies with expensive movies and video effects.
Star Trek is not about action and should stay like that. More exploration, diplomacy, and philosophy. I guess people today are too stupid for that so they will have to watch two faggots guys kissing and touching each other in space. God damn, even commander Riker, a guy that fucked half of the alpha quadrant didn't have such explicit scenes.
Beastie Boys were a pleasant refreshment to me as someone who was growing up with their music.
I would like to watch something slower, less action and definitely less spectacular technology, especially in the TOS and Kelvin timeline.
