Ive never been a big Star Trek fan, but I've enjoyed this so far. They keep referencing "the burn," so I guess I need to go back and watch Discovery now.

Nice fanfic retcon to tie up those loose ends. Guess we see which was the SUPERIOR race, eh?

Neither of the guys in the original had their hair color align with their skin color. Guess she's just some 'rebel' , huh?

Bored, catching a bit more. Can't believe it's still up for free on YouTube.

So the new ship doesn't even bother to taxi out of space port, huh? Goes right to transwarp or whatever right from the docks, huh?


The writing is , of course, crap. But I don't hate the actors. Except for the piggy who ate her com badge. I hope she gets dematerialized soon.

The Klingon is less cringy than I was lead to believe. And Tatiana's kid, whatever, is a bit of a Gary Sue. Stealing com badges at like 6? Now a master programmer / hacker by 21 - 22? OK.

He's got a bit of a Filip storyline going on here with being separated from his mother thou. (Expanse) About the same amount of time too. Wonder if they stole that idea.

so many main characters being unique. The first this, the only that, the sensitive and scientific Klingon and the Klingon/Jem'Hadar with the wry sense of humor. Seems like the writers are padding their choices in case they get more than one season.


The writers are self inserting themselves. All those quirky, awkward, super secretly special characters are them.

I think it’s more of them wanting a cast full of Spocks, Worfs, and Datas. Everyone is an exotic character.

I think this show sucks so far. To me, this is just a parade of quirks and quips with bad acting and weird writing choices.

I’m not liking Holly Hunter in the captain’s chair as much as the idea of (younger) Holly Hunter in the captain’s chair. She’s too old and she doesn’t play the part with enough gravity. She seems weak to me. I actually like her as an actress. Just not how she fits the role on the screen.

I think the show gets the team aspect of Star Trek right. So I will give it credit there… but I just don’t like a lot of the characters here.

Maybe it will get better. I dunno. I didn’t like Discovery’s last couple of seasons, and this feels like it to me.
