Finally after two seasons, this is starting to feel like a real Star Trek show. Episodic content set against a large backstory. Far more enjoyable in the four episodes so far than the entire first two seasons.
Is it really nescessary they put all this crap in the show? Can't they just make it the way it used to be? About science, anomalies, real space adventure with tons of mindblowing enigmas and riddles and problems to solve...instead of this soap drama. This season is so bad. What is this shit.
Sorry for the language.
The worst writing of any Star Trek ever made. This straight up craps on Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future. Everyone is always annoyed at everyone else, Everyone is always whining and moaning about pointless trivial stuff.
And the lead character is just a villain that in the first couple of episodes performs the irredeemable acts of Mutiny, Disobeying direct orders, shooting her own captain, starting a war, and sets off a chain of events that gets her own captain killed.
Then, After she is released from prison early, by an enemy of the federation (A mirror universe agent/imposter pretending to be her captain Lorca), After this deception is revealed, HOW is she not sent back to prison for life for her crimes? Get rid of the criminal Burnham from the show, Remove all the constant in-fighting between crew members and then you might have something. but the way it is, it's absolute garbage.
Yet I kept watching, hoping that it would improve, but it never did. Throughout all three seasons, the only even remotely likeable characters have been Pike and Una. Hopefully the upcoming Pike series will recon Discovery completely out of the "prime universe"
WTf is happening? This season has taken a huge nose dive into soap opera city. Every episode someone is crying, its horse shit(sorry). The first 2 seasons were good this season seems to about proving ST is LGBT and all that other gender crap is ok in space. Get back to discovery, science and bring back Lorca.
Star Trek hasn't been this good in a while, fresh, exciting and optimistic more than living up to its bold, inclusive mission statement. As addictive as ever and instantly bingeable, Doug Jones & Sonequa Martin Green are the MVPs of this season with excellent performances from Mary Wiseman, David Ajala & Anthony Rapp. This feels more like an ensemble than ever with great attention given to the entirety of Discovery, it's far more than just the show of the select few.
Would have been happy with how it ended if that had been a final season, but I'm really excited to see where they take Season 4 next.
Why does Sonequa Martin-Green always whisper when she talks, it's annoying.
Season 3 is definitely more enjoyable in terms of the story. Being in the future gives the writers a lot of opportunity to explore areas of Star Trek that have not been covered. The characters are still the weak point of this show. There are hardly any to like. Georgiou is super interesting and entertaining and there are maybe a few others here and there that add a bit of intrigue. But for the most part I can't even remember any of them. Its like the writers of the show absolutely had to get one of each type of person from the social spectrum and make them the most annoying version of those stereotypes as they could. It feels forced and it lacks any kind of depth. I hope that this changes as they have already experimented with changing the personality and character of the main character Michael and this has so far been a positive thing. Fingers crossed for future episodes and seasons.
It wasn't as good as I hoped but IIRC it was still good. I just wish they'd focus a little bit more on science and discovery instead of what felt like artificial and unnecessary drama (frequent crying, overacting, etc. - I don't mind emotions but they shouldn't feel random).
And it felt like they would always activate the fog machines, strobe lights, lens flares, and almost break the whole ship every time something remotely exciting happens to the ship (entering an asteroid field, etc.) which started to trigger me (just imagine your car would activate a strobe light if a deer crosses the road in front of you - that is the opposite of helpful because it distracts and impairs you).
Also: From the comments here I've learned a new word: "woke" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke). Unfortunately it was used as a pejorative term. Are we really watching a show now that has diversity and inclusivity as core values (at least IMO that's what the United Federation of Planets is about) and "crying" if there are a few black characters? :o :D
I really loved the first 2 seasons of Discovery but after episode 5 of season 3 things just went south, way south. Saru's character was just thrown out, got rid one of their best characters Philippa. Wtf happened :weary:
Please less soapy drama and more science and philosophy...that's the real Star Trek.
I really love the show, but why did Netflix make this a weekly installment. This just make the excitement dies on every episodes.

Man, there's too much drama in every single episode, everybody is constantly crying for every minor thing, it's exhausting.
