Best review of ST Discovery ever.Then you have this show which is so lazy. Everything revolves around Michael Burham, they may as well have named the show Star Trek: Michael Burham. She saved everything and everyone 100 times over, all while crying.
dude i watched ONE EPISODE. Dont make it look like im waving a Star Trek flag.
I always refer to her as "Space Jesus" as there's nothing she can't do or fix.That’s been my issue with this series as well…Michael Burnham…all the time, saving everything everywhere.
Instead, Discovery is a visual nightmare with samey sets.budget nightmare
It's not her fault the scripts are shit.It's funny... I have several SF writers on my FB friends list, and one of them, in particular, was adamant in defending STD as a good series... until this week, when he finally tossed the towel and admitted the idea of having a conference about someone's feelings in the middle of a battle is piss-poor writing and incredibly stupid.
TBH, I suspect he always disliked the series, but since he's got a lot of connections in Hollywood, he preferred to be diplomatic about it.
It's also incredibly difficult to be critical of a series where the main protagonist is a black woman, without being accused of racism.
Take a napI stumbled upon a recap of the finale. Currently debating if I want to expend precious minutes on watching this dreck that could be spent cleaning the litter box or rearranging my sock drawer instead.
The biggest problem is her character is also shit. She has a man's name, was supposedly raised by Vulcans but ends up crying every time she gets a chance, blunders into a war with the Klingons and has sex with one of their agents, and yet she's so important somehow... besides being the daughter of the Red Angel.It's not her fault the scripts are shit.
That's all from the script xdThe biggest problem is her character is also shit.

Burnham lacks the commanding, smoldering presence of Sisko, or the calm and charismatic style of Janeway. This is supposed to be a role model?
And it's not just her. Every single member of the crew is annoying, unlikable or lacking chemistry with others. Even Saru feels like a poor rehash of better aliens.
Don't worry, mate. It's the last one. Celebrate with champagne?STD is at season 5 wtf!?!
Nah, don’t care enough about it to do that.Don't worry, mate. It's the last one. Celebrate with champagne?
Did you enjoy the musical episode?sadly discovery was a compromised endeavour from the start.
the original show runner Brian Fuller(a writer on DS9 and Voyager) wanted to do an anthology series which would jump around different settings/times each season like American Horror Story. the studio wasnt ready to go there so they parted ways with Fuller. https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/29/16062088/bryan-fuller-star-trek-discovery-anthology-show-cbs#:~:text=In an interview with Entertainment,[did] for horror.”
the beginning of season 1 had the thoughtful, crafted flavor of Fuller's other projects and devolved from there as the new team took over. a star trek anthology could have been interesting and really built up a thought out galaxy, but would have been a budget nightmare when it came to sets and constantly changing casts. so paramount execs axing that idea is sorta reasonable.
ding dong, ST:disco the long flogged horse is dead, but at least we got Strange New Worlds out of it.
