This is too touchy feely, I wanted sci-fi. I wanted science with a lot of fiction. What I got was 'In treatment', there was too many scenes which were about different aspects of what it is to be human. Yes I didn't get it either. What's wrong with a new foe or baddie or have they run out of ideas.

Well, thank goodness that's over for another year. I just about managed to skip-watch it to the end so as not to allow myself to be defeated by Mr Kz but if another season is actually made, I think I'm going to have to give myself a pass. As I already have with Lower Decks and Short Treks. Whatever that last episode of Discovery was, it was not any type of Star Trek that I want to give up my time to stagger through. It has sapped my will so badly I can't even find the strength to ridicule it.

Today I reached the end of my review of the Next Generation and next week I will start on the original 1966 series. The earlier productions that bore the name Star Trek are far from perfect but there is a lot of classic Science Fiction in there and the only tears being shed are ours: either from laughter or for the occasional genuine tragedy.

Please feel free to join me.

Dear God you people with the politics, its just a tv show,if you don't like it don't watch it! The dislike for Stacy Abrams is just sad..but if a so called liberal espouses that same feeling about a certain other politician you guys lose your minds..man...Dont listen to such narrow mindedness it's actually quite good.

We all have the right to different opinions and I don't want to jugde anybody.

I only want to express my deep gratitude to everyone in the Star Trek Discovery's Team. Writers, producers, actors, FX Designers and to all departments that made possible the series. I've been a fan for a long time of Star Trek in all its diverse manifestations and I just appreciate the evolution of this wondrous Sci-Fi Universe and it is so relevant right now, because we - the Humankind - in real life are also evolving and finally seeing our innate quality to connect to each other and to everything. This episode "Coming Home" as the season finale deserves all the praises.

Amazing message, finally getting in touch with what we really are. Thank you again!

The show is OK but this episode highlights most of the things that grate with me. The main one being the constant posing / looking in awe at things. It all seems to make it very amateurish to me. The next gripe is the political correctness of this series. Why can't you just tell a good story and forget about political correctness?

Looking forward to series 5 but it will have to up its game.

I am so glad that is over because I will definitely not be watching any future Discovery. A lot more have said it a lot better than I can, but this was a total train wreck the last 2 seasons. To think at one point I actually defended this show. I'm so embarrassed. Words cannot describe how much I detest this show now. Good luck with this Discovery crew, you will need it.

I get that the tone is different from what many of us are used to. It is more overtly emotional (though star trek has always had an emotional core, don't try to convince me otherwise)

But it feels like Discovery has really found its footing in season 4. The bridge crew is coming together and becoming more defined, the ensamble cast feel like they've found their stride and it feels like a crew now.

And I'm not saying the fans who feel let down by the direction Discovery has taken don't have a right to that feeling. But it's time to let that go. If you really truly can't abide it, then watch Strange New worlds, Picard, Lower Decks or Prodigy, or one of the upcoming series, or rewatch the classics. (or you can go over and check out the Orville). But stop trying to tear this thing down that is working, just because it's not exactly what you would have made.

I for one am glad they are trying new things. I'm sick of Star Trek that tries to do more of the same. It barely worked for Voyager, it didn't work for Enterprise. I personally am sick of reboots and rehashes. I am glad to have Star Trek that is unafraid to do something new.

And Star Trek always has been socially progressive. If it isn't making authoritarians and xenophobes mad, and isn't making hardline conservatives uncomfortable and making them think, it isn't doing it's job.

This series has been coming together for a while, and season 4 has had a genuine sci-fi story with huge stakes and genuinely broken new ground. And it worked. And I loved it.

Simply caos compared to the structure established by all other StarTrek series. This is intended for millennials, it's the participation medal of the StarTrek universe.

I reviewed "Stormy Weather" from the current season, which was a terrible episode, and I really didn't think things could get worse.

Thanks writers, uninspired director, etc.....for making this easily the worst season finale of any Star Trek series. It isn't even close. Best I could do for any episode this season was 5 out of 10 and I was being generous.

Sad, so very sad.

Just meh... You dont really feel for anyone, mostly everyone is extremely annoying, constantly crying and whispering and talking talking talking about nonsense. Not like Picard talking in TNG where you thought about the morality and ethical implications in regards to the dialogue or story for the next couple of days.

Here it is just mindless generic babbling.

After the whole season of tricking us and stretching the plot into nothingness of complete travesty, this conclusion was nothing but a predictable bore.

Hope of a better future.

Hope for better understand each other.

Hope to finding common ground during difficult times.

STD shows us a different kind of Star Trek, one that's more companionate, more emotional, more soul.

It's not Classic Trek, TNG, DS9, aso. And that's good.

I really don't get all the 1-Star hate. As it shows some people never understood the true message Gene Rodenberry tried to tell: be happy, be kind to one another. Never stop dreaming about a better future you can build.

Star Trek is this promise. STD one aspect of it.

The newest Trek entry, Strange New Worlds, is so vastly superior to this dreck it's simply amazing. I won't belabor the idiocy and pandering of this episode as there are great reviews that detail the flaws of this refuse to great delight.

People, just watch SNW and then you'll be watching Real Star Trek.

This is a good conclusion to the events set up so well in the previous episode.

There is a lot of emotion which will probably be annoy those who dislike this aspect of Discovery, but here it is necessary and fits the conclusion of the season arc well. I think the main issue is so many other episodes of the show are cluttered with characters sharing their feelings, it lessons the impact of what should be an emotional finale that (as Bones would say) should bring the house down. Most people will likely roll their eyes at what appears to be an unprofessional crew stopping work to cry and share feelings for the umpteenth time.

In its own merit the story finishes what was set up perfectly in the previous episode with a nice balance of sci-fi mystery and thrilling action. I like the fact that several characters contribute to the outcome and that the message about solidarity and understanding is excellent.

It is not perfect. Certain scenes involving Book and Ndoye are incredibly predictable, plus you wonder why T'Rina saved her Vulcan mind meld until so late in the game considering the communication issues.

I generally like the pacing and visuals, plus all performances are good as always.

There was a time when Star Trek bravely took point on the importance of Representation and Diversity. But this vulgar incarnation is frankly embarrassing to watch.

Never has R&D felt so forced and false. Discovery is clearly cashing in on the current popular trend of virtue signalling.

Please stop making this show. History will look back upon it as a stain upon Star Trek's great legacy.

R&D is so important, and you are disrespectfully cashing in on it.

Hollyweird just couldn't leave well enough alone, or a great series and season ending alone without sticking a political statement on it with the introduction of Stacey Abrams (failed GA Governor candidate) as the President of United Earth. In her and their dreams. Politics and Sci-Fi don't mix, Sci-Fi is where we go to get away from Politics!!!
