And Anthony Rapp (the actor who plays him) went through some awful stuff that made him famous for another reason and he seems to have come out stronger. Good for him.
As for the whole mycelium plot in Discovery, I found it so ridiculous that I refuse to consider that show canon.
There’s far worse problems with Discovery ;) but really, much of Trek is ridiculous: “we went really fast around a sun and traveled back in time to _exactly_ when we need to be.” Convenient!
Oh of course. Mycelium is just the tip of the iceberg e.g. "Spock had a secret sister." Oh come on!
Yes some Trek scripts are better than others, as are some entire shows. But the creators of Disco seemed like they had never watched a single episode of "real" Trek or understood what made it work.
I thought he lost the case?
