Don’t wanna bash on Discovery … but is there notable disengagement around the final season?

I’m personally not watching it (you could call me a bit of a disco “hater” and s4 really kinda bummed me out) … but thought I’d see how people are enjoying it and think about getting a paramount subscription.

Asked some friends and they said they’d stopped watching. Then I checked here and the other community and posts about the episodes just seem to be tepid compared to what I would have expected.

Now obviously I’ve got a bias (and I really don’t want to start kicking the show) … but am I reading this right or wrong?

I haven't been paying any attention to anyone else, but I've been enjoying this season.

It continues the abandoned Progenitor storyline from TNG. And it does a decent job at explaining why we didn't see any more about it until 800 years later.

Even the interpersonal stuff isn't terrible this season. We get to see more alternative captain/crew interaction and how those directly compare with Disco's crew.

abandoned Progenitor?

Are you talking about “The Chase”? What’s abandoned?

Otherwise … cool.

Yeah the storyline from "The Chase". After that episode it was never touched again in any of the series until this season of Disco.

Bombshell revelation that all humanoid life in the galaxy was seeded by a Progenitor race? Never discussed again. Obviously Starfleet wouldn't have abandoned that research thread. This season continues that story, and gives an in universe explanation to why we never saw it mentioned again.
