I hate it. I tried to like it but overall, I am appalled by it. There was one exception: The way they portrayed the relationship between Stamets and Culber was nice. However, the dumpster fire at the center of the show is Burnham. I have never seen a show try to glorify a main character like that unless there was some irony involved. STD really shoves Burnham down your throat again and again. SHE saves the day/ship/federation/universe. She is praised constantly, just in case you idiot failed to realize how magnificent she is, and, hey, did we mention, she is…ummm…SPOCK’S…SISTER!!! Yes, his sister! What? Doesn’t make sense? Shut up and love her already! Then, the plot holes. Would it have been so unbearably hard to write scripts that at least try to look consistent and logical? As for the dialogs: they are important to show how great Burnham is. I found myself skipping over most of them without missing anything important. Oh, and, then there’s Saru‘s sister piloting a fighter while Burnham‘s mom returns from the dead to join a ROMULAN order of warrior nuns. In my opinion, as personal and inconsequential it may be, this show is a big F*** YOU! to Trek fans.
Been a while but I honestly liked most of the characters. With the exception of Burnham. I also wasn’t much of a fan of a main character like that although it’s interesting that the closest thing to a main character is not the captain for once. And I like that in lower decks too. Burnham just kinda felt… I don’t wanna say not star trek but not star fleet. Just not connected properly to most of the crew. Not like the rest of them did.
Most of the overal storylines felt mediocre to me. Wasn’t much of a fan of the mirror universe.
I honestly still enjoyed watching it, and I think most complaints are bullshit.
Most of the characters suck. Tilly is great tho. “Spore drive”, wtf, totally idiotic. Also the red angel shit was too stupid. The tardigrade shit was stupid. I could do with never ever hearing about or seeing fucking Michael burnham ever again. Really disappointing.
The film would bring Kirk and company from the 23rd century to the 21st, where their quest to bring two humpback whales back to the future would receive assistance from an uber-nerdy college professor played by Murphy.
I see the point of the additional plot line to Saavik, but ignoring that, is it really the only additional heft we could have added to the character? She needs to be a child-bearer, basically a container, for another Spock? That feels like it’s really backwards and lazy storytelling, and something not of that period. Also, she’s so young and he’s so damn old - it wouldn’t have been a good look then, and certainly not now. It would completely undermine his role as a guiding father-figure to Saavik in these films.
It was a definitely a “let’s add sex appeal” moment. I quite like her as an actual character though (besides the weird Chakotay thing), they’re lucky Jeri Ryan is a good actress. The ratings went up pretty much immediately after her introduction so I guess we played right into their hands haha.
The Chakotay and Seven relationship isn’t canon in my opinion. Seven and the EMH? Adorable! Seven and Harry Kim? Sure! Seven and no one? Even better! Just another reason to hate Berman.
