Should I hate-watch Season 5 of the Magicians when it comes out?

Yes, you like it when shows make you angry and torrenting it doesn't give them any money

Don't judge The Expanse by the first episode. It's necessary for context but it sucks and is mainly about different characters than the rest of the show.

That's the opposite of how I felt about Star Trek Discovery.

Disco gets better too, just in a different way.

I loved the captain in episode one. I loved that there was a star trek that wasn't grimdark, that went back to the Picard hopefulness. I loved that there was a captain who gave more than lip service to the Prime Directive.

Then episode 2. And it wasn't a bad show, not really, I could have liked it, but I'd already fallen in love with a different show. There are ways that shift could have happened and I would have accepted or even admired it (see: Harry Potter) but I just felt annoyed. And I couldn't appreciate the show for what it was going forward.

Today in: I have opinions.
