Star Trek: Discovery

Just terrible writing and acting has devolved to utter trashy talk in season 5. I am so glad this series is over. This is not Startrek....

On plus side there are some good things such as the special effects, Saru, the engineers and the doctor. Captain Georgio was awesome as well but they killed her off so Michael could assume some sort of predestination to the Captains chair.

The tech issues are bad in this show, could the transporter not detected the temporal bug? It picks up everything else unless it is to further some insane plot line that is so far fetched that it becomes unbelievable. I have and will put my trust into Picard, lower decks, and strange new worlds. I AM HOPING THE WRITERS ON THIS SHOW STAY AWAY FROM STRANGE NEW WORLDS AND ARE NEVER INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER TREK SERIES. GOOD RIDANCE!

Watching season 4 up to episode 4 at the moment i can't shake the feeling overly sensitive person or people are responsible for directing and producing this soap opera-like show. There is so much drama that it feels there is only drama. No dark and light areas, no contrast just heavy drama situations, overly acted, overly wise conversations. I don't want to point fingers at the actors but some of them make my stomach turn how absolutely terrible they are at conveying emotion on screen.

I love star trek but this is the most boring series I've ever seen.

I just finished watching season 4 episode 1 and I don't know what to make of it. The show's script and dialogues feels like it's for an audience of 12 years old. The special effects are nicely done but the technology is borderline "magic" not believable.

The show started out techno-clever with interesting character interactions.

Now all we have is a bunch of needy characters episode after episode. Even the computer is needy. It is exhausting.

I give it a 6 because I still have hope, but the writing is being sucked into a black hole of neediness.

First 2 seasons I thoroughly enjoyed. (Through all seasons the constant, intense, whispered dialogue drives me nuts.)

Now everyone on the ship needing to be acknowledged for their feelings and overly emotional sense of being completely overshadows any mission.

This should be called Star Trek: Self Discovery because it's more like an aggressive HR sensitivity training seminar than anything Star Trek.

If Star Trek is what you're looking for, this isn't it. If you want a sci-fi, poorly written soap opera, this is your jam.

There's about 15-20 minutes of each episode worth watching if you're interested their actual mission. Skip skip skip
