Star Trek: Discovery

First 2 seasons I thoroughly enjoyed. (Through all seasons the constant, intense, whispered dialogue drives me nuts.)

Now everyone on the ship needing to be acknowledged for their feelings and overly emotional sense of being completely overshadows any mission.

This should be called Star Trek: Self Discovery because it's more like an aggressive HR sensitivity training seminar than anything Star Trek.

If Star Trek is what you're looking for, this isn't it. If you want a sci-fi, poorly written soap opera, this is your jam.

There's about 15-20 minutes of each episode worth watching if you're interested their actual mission. Skip skip skip

This review now contains 600+ characters.

I just finished watching season 4 episode 1 and I don't know what to make of it. The show's script and dialogues feels like it's for an audience of 12 years old. The special effects are nicely done but the technology is borderline "magic" not believable.

Just terrible writing and acting has devolved to utter trashy talk in season 5. I am so glad this series is over. This is not Startrek....

On plus side there are some good things such as the special effects, Saru, the engineers and the doctor. Captain Georgio was awesome as well but they killed her off so Michael could assume some sort of predestination to the Captains chair.

The tech issues are bad in this show, could the transporter not detected the temporal bug? It picks up everything else unless it is to further some insane plot line that is so far fetched that it becomes unbelievable. I have and will put my trust into Picard, lower decks, and strange new worlds. I AM HOPING THE WRITERS ON THIS SHOW STAY AWAY FROM STRANGE NEW WORLDS AND ARE NEVER INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER TREK SERIES. GOOD RIDANCE!

Never have been so bored to death of hearing stupid speeches. Every 10 minutes there's a big speech about what there going in to and how important it is. Yeah yeah we got after 50th speech we didn't need another 100. Make a sci-fi program not political bull crap.

These days, Star Trek is all about over the top graphics, silly side plots, boring story lines, and forgettable characters. That's a shame because Star Trek used to be exciting, intelligent, and something to truly look forward to, even stay home for. I miss the focus on deep philosophical questions, complex moral dilemmas, technical challenges overcome with ingenuity, and just the pure fun of watching a story unfold. There's still room for great storytelling in the Star Trek universe, but it needs to return to its roots: thoughtful exploration, genuine curiosity, and technology that feels achievable, not outlandish. Let's be honest, the spore drive? The most ridiculous addition ever. But it's not just the spore drive, the dark and murky scenes, and the unclear goals just don't excite me anymore.

Remember the days when a malfunctioning transporter sparked a debate on the nature of consciousness? Now, technical hurdles get resolved with a unrealistic technology. Where's the ingenuity?

The characters themselves have become, for me, one-dimensional, unlikable, and forgettable. Can you even recall what happened to those characters just one season ago? This prioritization of spectacle over substance feels like Star Trek has gotten lost in space, far from what made it such a groundbreaking and beloved series.

Sometimes the past was better then the present.
