The Galactic Barrier

There was a point in late season 2/early season 3 when Discovery occasionally got Star Trek right. I was hopeful. After all, every series starts out mediocre to bad before finding its legs. Unfortunately, Discovery has taken a complete nosedive.

In season 4, it has reached the point where each episode is more unbearable than the last. Personal drama drones on and on and on. Characters constantly announce how they feel instead of showing through action. It's tedious enough that I felt compelled to leave a review.

Also, in all of the series, there has never been a character more annoying than Adira. Not Wesley Crusher. Not even Neelix. I thought we were done with Adira, but nope. They're back this episode and more annoying than ever. This person is supposed to have lifetimes' worth of wisdom inside them, and instead they act like a present-day zoomer with daddy issues. Worst Trill host ever.

I guess more stuff technically did happen...even if it was sandwichced between lots of talking about feelings. Jesus there is so much feeling explanation. And we get it,...they are gay for each other...just like everyone else in this universe.

So the galactic barrier was a bunch of crap. Garbage. What a bunch of nonsense...and it took the entire episode!! Why?

Why am still watching this...Yes season 2 was amazing...But not 3 or 4. Ive never cancelled before the end...But there is a first time for everything. I just cancelled...forget the last few episode...they are going to be garbage.

I like the storyline. It's interesting. But the dialogue is aweful. Everyone has an emotional issue that needs to be talked our every damn minute of this shows. It's one big message on mental health. It's aweful. Please stop doing this. Get back to the storyline please.

More angst. More feelings. More introspection. More pulling up the dark side of our pasts. This has to be one of the dullest shows I have ever watched. For God's sake, can we get to the thing we've been waiting for--the DMA thing. We have schoolboy crushes. We have heavy discussions. To make matters worse, the Trill girl is back from summer camp and ready to be annoying. Of course, there is now an urgency just thrown in. The DMA is going to knock out the former Vulcan and Earth, just when the Discovery is heading toward a diplomatic mission. On the way they should pick up Dr. Phil, Joyce Brothers, and Ruth Westheimer to help with the negotiations.

... during a time-sensitive mission whereby the fate of galactic civilization hinges. Seriously?

I have nothing to add, beyond padding my review to the minimum 150 characters. Oh hey! This must be what the writers were thinking!
