Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”

I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

    I’m not giving NuTrek any more chances. They already tried with 5 series and 1 movie. It’s never going to “get there”.

        I don’t like Lower Decks one bit. Cheap low brow humour and it still gets plenty wrong about Star Trek, just for the sake of a gag or the creation of drama.

        The closest we got to something aligning properly with Star Trek is Prodigy, of all things.

              I will admit Lower Deck is always a bit crass and that element never goes away, but the characters develop really well and it’s impressive how attached they get you to them in a total runtime shorter than TNG season 1, and the show gets surprisingly emotionally sincere as it goes on.

              And I’d say seasons 3, 4, and maybe 5 have what I’d call legitimate contenders for some of the franchise’s best episodes. Honestly, if it’s really hard for you to watch season 2, just skip to Wej Duj and watch from there.

              But honestly, if you can’t get past the crasser elements, I get that.

          I’ll agree to disagree, but surprised as I thought strange new worlds was pretty consistent with a traditional Star Trek…

            Nah. S1 of snw was pretty tight. Then they started just being fucking idiots with it and it’s lost more and more wheels. The last season was garbage.
