Oh boy, let me get my meme arrows out!
 
>expressing your distaste for something is a cop-out
 
Sure thing, sport! Heaven forbid that others happen to find something distasteful or unpleasant, right? It’s not as though a great many people seem to agree that this is cringe-worthy, not at all! Why, the natural human response to something that they find embarrassing to even look at (let alone be associated with!) is totally a ‘cop-out’. Man, it’s a good thing you were here to call someone out for it, that’s a fine contribution you’re making to the site and the conversation as a whole.

Bad idea. There would be few people who would actually understand this (although maybe the lolrandom factor could appeal to some), not something you’d want for a commercial. But since Discovery sucks at advertisement, I could actually see them doing that.
 
It works in the actual episode (or preview clip, so far) because it’s a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, that’s probably not going to confuse people who don’t know the reference, much.

They need to make a commercial for #100 of this shark just sitting there.

Following logic here: wouldn’t jumping the shark be in reference to what actually jumped the shark? Octavia/Vinyl ship? Or maybe these transforming bass canon vehicles of Vinyl’s?

This epidsode along with previous episodes further proves Woodrow Wilson’s claim about making enemies by changing something…oh he was so right.

From previews, this episode looks completely okay. It’s celebratory “Very special episode”, after all, and it looks like I will enjoy it. It’s “Tanks for the Memories” and “Make New Friend But Keep Discord” that’s very… thick. References there instead of being thin, looks like crudely cut with scissors and sticked with glue.

…Wow, they actually did that? Now I get why Knighty was… unhappy on Twitter.
 
I have to admit, the people who complain about memes and pandering in this episode really have a good point. Not saying they’re completely right, but they’re not as wrong as they should be. That’s like American Splatoon ad-level of cringe. It’s like they let loose of an inhibitions (and braincells) with questionable results. Kinda like Shyamalan.
 
Well, I’m not that much bothered, though. It’s just a preview and might not reflect the rest of the episode (and Larson himself has a good point here). If it is, and it will be indeed that bad, it’ll only like that for this special (in more than one way) episode. Nothing one couldn’t move on from easily. And it sure as hell won’t be as bad as “Mysterious Mare Do Well”. The only real problem is that many are too overhyped for this episode.
 
There’s just one thing that bothers me: People claiming that this joke is “clever”. Come on, this is like one of the most obvious jokes ever and has been done multiple times before. It’s as clever as putting 2 and 2 together.

Also, I really don’t believe the show staff mean any of this with ill intentions. I see it as playful ribbing, sort of like the kind one does to an old beloved friend. One you can be really obnoxious with and they know’re just being silly. I know some folks will take it to heart, but I hope most understand that it’s not to be taken seriously.
 
Yeah, that doesn’t really work. As I said before, shit like that only makes you look like you look thin-skinned and not able to take any negative voices (it doesn’t help that a lot of people, even supposed professionals, seem to be unable to distinguish between mindless whining and actual critique nowadays), no matter what you actually intended. In fact, the only reason why I believe that it’s more… “good-natured” myself is because that episode was written by Larson. With any other person, I’d really have to wonder what their intention is. And not everyone knows about the show staff so well, that they’ll understand why they were going for.

I like to think that they knew full well that the more implacable parts of the fandom were very likely going to throw a hissy fit and start whining about how this is the moment where the show ‘jumped the shark’ so they decided to preemptively shut them up by making the joke themselves before the complainers could do it.

If you Take away the fact that the characters are not the main characters would it still be jumping the shark?
