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?
As for the whole mycelium plot in Discovery, I found it so ridiculous that I refuse to consider that show canon.
