Star Trek: Discovery
Jun. 19th, 2021 10:01 amI've now watched all three seasons, and I have Opinions.
OK, so there are lots of reasons I am going to keep obsessively watching it ( spoilers )
Reasons why I'm not angry, just disappointed ( moar spoilers )
In conclusion: amazing characters and world-building, with so much promise for inspiring storytelling, but lacklustre delivery. Too many plot holes, too many bad decisions, and too much emphasis on oversimplified morality, individual pew-pew heroism, and frankly too many life or death crises and traumas. Give me a season of Discovery where they aren't constantly fighting for their lives, they can get a break, get counselling, attend a concert, and have some episodes about culture and philosophy where we get cute domestic scenes with the characters and no-one cries.
Yeah, basically I want TNG only with a cast of women, queers and people of colour. I'll keep hoping.
