Star Trek: Discovery

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.

The first two seasons were awesome. Very good writing. Now with the third and especially the fourth season, the writing is horrible. Everything is overly dramatic. Pretty much every cast member annoys me now. I'm guessing the show got new writers after the second season. If that's the case, then they should have end the show there. Where did all the creativity go???

The show started out techno-clever with interesting character interactions.

Now all we have is a bunch of needy characters episode after episode. Even the computer is needy. It is exhausting.

I give it a 6 because I still have hope, but the writing is being sucked into a black hole of neediness.

I really like ST and grew up with Kirk in the days if you missed an episode, you missed an episode!, Even in Picard days , I'm that old. I loved the original and Next Gen. The stories, the acting , sets and characters. I even liked the early episodes of Discovery and didn't know S5 was coming. So S5? It's just a hard slog watching the captain sob, cry, hug, cry again and not do any adventuring , well not much anyway. The series is just a long chat with each other on how they love each other and will miss each other and then a bit of story. I suppose the days when a whole story per episode is long gone replaced with a 2 hour story elongated to a series of 8 hour chats, hugs and crying and the occasional bit of story.

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!
