Anyways, this show sucks and I’m sick of writing about it. It felt like I was watching a cheap sci-fi rip-off of Star Trek. I started skipping through the Klingon parts because I couldn’t handle the cringe. The Klingon parts were hard to watch for so many reasons, but I couldn’t help but feel the actors hated dressing up like fake Klingons just as much as I hated watching them. They could have gone to any star trek convention in the country and found better actors to play them. But forget the costumes, their cringey way of speaking, and the completely garbage dialogue for a moment. And don’t even get me started on the amazing character arc of Councelor Troi in Next Generation.Īlso, I should probably mention the “Klingons…” I’d say they reminded me of orcs from Middle Earth, but I wouldn’t want to insult the orcs. Torres, and Seven of Nine in Voyager or Major Kira and Dax in Deep Space Nine. Want a real woman in Star Trek? Stay away from Michael and see Captain Janeway, Lt. In my version of cannon, she rots in prison. Even with the crappy un-Star-Trek-like lighting for that scene, it was easily my favorite. Seeing her get sentenced to life in prison was immensely satisfying. I only watched the second episode to watch the inevitable backlash Michael had to deal with from failing to take over the ship. Then somehow they still expect the audience to actually follow the “hero’s” story? What a bunch of crap writing! I mean, they literally made her commit mutiny based on some of the worst logic possible and completely trash all potential credibility and likability of the character. I will never be able to comprehend why the writers chose to set up the character of Michael so poorly. This brilliant meme really sums up the issues with the plot: Now, about Michael Burnham. Too bad her decision to make Michael her first officer (and to let her back on duty after committing mutiny) really ruins the actual character. Now I did actually like the captain, or at least the actress they chose for the part. Maybe since the main characters in the first two episodes are both women, I’m supposed to ignore the fact that they are having an argument more fitting of an episode of Real Housewives. CBS does however use gender and race to excuse the fact that they seem to have created a show with no real characters or plot. I just wanted to get that out of the way in case someone decides to make this about gender or race. No, “Diversity” isn’t the problem with Star Trek Discovery.
