Star Trek: Discovery

Never have been so bored to death of hearing stupid speeches. Every 10 minutes there's a big speech about what there going in to and how important it is. Yeah yeah we got after 50th speech we didn't need another 100. Make a sci-fi program not political bull crap.

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.

The first two seasons were awesome. Very good writing. Now with the third and especially the fourth season, the writing is horrible. Everything is overly dramatic. Pretty much every cast member annoys me now. I'm guessing the show got new writers after the second season. If that's the case, then they should have end the show there. Where did all the creativity go???

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.

I really like ST and grew up with Kirk in the days if you missed an episode, you missed an episode!, Even in Picard days , I'm that old. I loved the original and Next Gen. The stories, the acting , sets and characters. I even liked the early episodes of Discovery and didn't know S5 was coming. So S5? It's just a hard slog watching the captain sob, cry, hug, cry again and not do any adventuring , well not much anyway. The series is just a long chat with each other on how they love each other and will miss each other and then a bit of story. I suppose the days when a whole story per episode is long gone replaced with a 2 hour story elongated to a series of 8 hour chats, hugs and crying and the occasional bit of story.
