Star Trek: Discovery

Go fornicate yourself with a metal stick, Kurtzman.

I hated everything about this and seeing all the high scores for this Game of Thronesy Shit In Space Which Never Feels Star Trekky just makes me feel old and depressed. A lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Really did try to give this a fair shake, but it felt like getting repeatedly spit in the face. Has that faux-woke air of trying to finding fault in its own history to be "modern" so it demeans or retcons everything that made *what it is based on* worthy of renown and appraisal, and does so lazily, which is a different level of hurt. A whole show focusing on the negative instead of the positive, which is as anti-Trek a mood as possible.

Please note that this is only based on the first season and I will not watch any more. Everything about this is wrong. The fact that it bears the title Star Trek is theft at best and slander at worst. This is a dark nightmare land where bad writing is the norm and there are no moral debates to be had because everything is constantly blowing up and everyone is screaming at each other. Gene Roddenberry is spinning so fast in his grave that his corpse might form the first warp engine.

[Based on 11 episodes] As a life long fan, this is so terrible that I'm personality insulted. It's like a TV version of ID4 resurgence with TNG sound effects and more clichés than you can imagine possible in 46 minutes. Terrible performances. Boring unlikable Mary Sue that never loses lavished with praise. watch The Orville instead. Update for S2: it's even WORSE. lt. mary sue saved the day 4 times in 45 minutes, continuity errors and basic logic problems throughout. i'm gonna start drinking.

I unashamedly love this version of Star Trek. 2 seasons in, it's bridging the gap between the old & the new. The pace is faster; the characters more intentionally flawed; the Klingons... different. The designs, effects & action are all noticeably higher budget which works. Old Trek may have been more cerebral, but it often came across as grandstanding. While Disco hasn't yet encountered that problem, it has delivered fun characters, compelling drama and good sci-fi. The writing in S04 nosedives.

I don't mind that Discovery tries to do its own thing. I do mind that it feels unfaithful to the predecessor works- which, on a continuity line, will happen in the future unless we're talking an alternate reality. Why the wrinkled grape Klingons? That said, it's got wonderful graphics. It tries too hard to address the lack of action in other shows and so it hurts the philosophical pensiveness for which Trek is known. Worst of all, most characters in here are just unlikable.

This is so painful to watch. Feelings, feelings everywhere. Even the computer develops feelings. It's a goddamn soap opera. Who ever wrote this crap should be dumped in a big black hole. What a waste.

The problem with this one is that it is not Star Trek at all. Star Trek is supposed to be light-hearted and optimistic about the future of mankind. This show is dark and not just in mood. The lead characters' morality is questionable at best. So far every captain we've seen were role models for leaders. The characters here are flawed. Very flawed. In the end they tried to give us something so new that they forgot that they need to be Star Trek as well.

All in all, after more than 10 years of waiting for a new Trek TV show we can be happy. Instead of nitpicking and finding mistakes all the time lets appreciate the fact that they started this new Trek show with great style. Visuals are awesome, story pacing is great and season as whole is well rounded. Characters are well developed and have good story arcs and ending is a great tease for all who love Star Trek. I wouldnt be far from truth If I sad this is the best first season of a Trek show.
