You don't understand what that term means. You might think you do, but you don't.

I can't find much detailing what went wrong, but the main points seem to be that they achieve most accurate landing ever, and were still able to deploy the baseball robot things, which sounds like a win to me.

I genuinely don't understand this question. What "that" are you referring to, what "it" are you referring to, who's "they", what's "normal" for "they"?, and what "it", again.

... because it's literally rocket science?

This conversation is too Daystrom for Risa. I'll agree to disagree :old man shakes fist at clouds:

because I can't stop me:

Mushroom warp was "bat shit crazy" to pretty much everyone.

the last ship that tried it disappeared, presumed lost with all hands.

Section 31 probably has the whole story locked in a cabinet next to Mirror Universe Spock's Goatee.

I think there was a whole plot about how using it hurts the thing that is the mushrooms? So like, ethically, that's a no go.

By the end of Voyager, the Federation is beginning to understand how to build trans warp gateways (Borg tech) which is, at least practically, close enough to mushroom warp that it's good enough.

I think it was the first truly disappointing ending for a trek show, and that kinda sours the whole thing a bit.

This is the way.

ha! That's excellent. I was not in a position time-wise to watch DSC S1 when it actually aired, so I missed all these shenanigans. In retrospect it's probably the best trek to binge (which I did) since many episodes feel more like parts of a movie instead of being self contained. I'm a fan of all trek, even Enterprise. :D

Valid Criticisms:

Max drama deviates from star trek standard format

non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow

Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!) Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)

MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.

Not Valid:

Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).

Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).

That man's face is brimming with unspeakable regret.

This sounds like a thin crust from Domino's. One of my favorite crusts for a spicy Hawaiian.
