yeah, the Mirror U. side quest was dumb.Well the last two episodes, Terra Firma parts 1 and 2, were a bust, IMO.
Reminded me of the old Star Trek days (let's do this totally out there nothing-to-do-with-the-plot-line two-parter). But maybe that's just me. All 8 epidodes before that have been great, and if you are enjoying the series thus far, you won't be disappointed.
Depends if you've seen the first 2 seasons and enjoyed them. This season is the same only more over the top in some regards. Michael has somehow become even more uber powerful and all knowing somehow, which is both amusing and disturbing.Is season 3 of Star Trek Discovery worth watching if you don't already have a CBS All Access account? Just curious.
Eh.. they're now in the future.
But yet similar line of sight phasers and no auto targeting.
Now there's overtones of the federation turned into the Evil Empire.
Also, why haven't the federation of the future copied the spore drive?
yeah, the Mirror U. side quest was dumb.
The whole dimension hopping Empress dying subplot was wtf WHY?
there could have been so many other ways...
If I were to bet, there are saving this for later, implying that there is too much to deal with "right now" to stop and put resources towards figuring out the spore drive. There were illusions to this when the ship first arrived at the New Federation, and when Michael arrived at the Outpost an episode or two prior (their ship was an almost-forgot story).Having said that, it makes even less sense for the future Federation not to be crawling all over that ship trying to figure out how to make it work. This could fix and rebuild the Federation, but they don't seem too concerned with it. The most they do is a token "don't get shot" warning while the ship jumps off to deal with Michael's personal issues. It rates up there with the idea of an ensign jumping all the ranks to become the first officer. No matter what I try to use to convince myself it makes sense, nothing ever works. It's a perfect example of a show inbreeding itself so far it throws out logic to give a "wouldn't it be cool if.." moment.

Yeah, this season seems REALLY touchy-feely. I'm 4 episodes in, and it's more like a family drama than a Sci-Fi show so far.
But, it's 2020 and I really have nothing better to do during my holiday break in quarantine land.
where the hell did that guy send her anyway?Unfortunately, it doesn't help the viewers when you have to stop everything that is going on for two episodes so that we can watch Yeoh go to fantacy land.
That is a valid point. I can see them coming back to that whenever they decide Discovery is done in the future, and we can all say, "OK, now I get it".does that mean she can make changes to the future??
I can't argue that it is good Star Strek, but it's definitely terrible Star Trek.
yeah, the show is all over the place.2 out of 4 for me due to plot holes, inconsistencies in characterization, and awful direction.
Yeah, will be interesting to see how this plays out. Good thing theirThe whole premise of the burn happeningseems rather disappointing.because of a mentally ill person having a tantrum
And then anentire planet being made of dilithium is awfully convenient, don't you think?

Well, you could say the opposite as well. If you don't like the premise, don't watch the show, because you know the entire season is going to build on that same premise. In the old Star Trek, if you didn't like an episode, you may or may not like the next one. Since it will not be building on anything, it's anyone's guess what that next episode is going to be about.Makes sense to me... This version of Star Trek is super Emo as is
It's also why I liked the "old" format of Star Trek better, where you could get a complete storyline in one of two episodes. If it was good, that's great, but if it was a lame premise... well, you only wasted an hour or two watching it. Instead, we get to watch an entire season devoted to one or two big ideas, and a lame ending like that that kinda ruins the finale.
So, why does the Discovery look about 20 times bigger inside it's turbolift shafts? Seriously, it looked like a damn Starbase in there.

From what I recall, the engineer that pilots the drive was a freak one off. The Federation didn't really have time to both figure out how he was connected to the spores, let alone figure out how to replicate it before they merged with the magic all knowing alien probe. Once that happened Discovery had been busy trying to keep itself out of the evil AI's hands, which also working through all of Michael's family issues.. cause for some reason no matter what, Michael's issues will always trump any logical Federation needs as highlighted a lot this season. Also, the spore drive breaks all of Star Trek, so if they had replicated it then all of the other shows suddenly wouldn't work as who'd care about a wormhole when you can just jump around everywhere.

I started keeping track of how much crying there was in the show. 6 of the last 7 episodes had crying with the other episode only having someone's eyes getting watery.Yeah, this season seems REALLY touchy-feely. I'm 4 episodes in, and it's more like a family drama than a Sci-Fi show so far.

It did not fizzle quickly and apparently a lot of people are paying for CBS All Access.It's going to fizzle pretty quick I suspect.
and who the hell wants to pay for CBS All Access?

They think lots of women and non-binary's watch the show and they think women and non-binary's love to see crying on TV.Discovery is a mess but this in particular really started to grate on me. Why are we crying again? Crying isn't character development.
