Yes, it is still complete garbage. The only good thing about it is that it was short and didn't waste too much of my time.
After five seasons, I'm still struggling to recall a single bridge crew member's name. This portrayal doesn't quite capture the essence of what "Trek" means to me. It feels more aligned with the rapid pace demanded by today's short attention spans, reminiscent of the JJ Abrams universe. This stands in stark contrast to the rich narratives and character development of classics like Next Gen and DS9. There's a notable absence of thought-provoking storylines akin to "In The Pale Moonlight." Instead, it seems geared towards mindless entertainment, earning a solid 8/10 for action-packed television but falling short with a mere 3/10 as a representative Trek episode.
The most political episode of TMS? I'm sure it will go down well with anti-vaxxers and Trump supporters. Yep.
I am sure a lot of effort was put into this episode, but sorry musicals are just not my thing.
Watching the trailer, this really doesn’t look as good as the original at all. It’s the CW so the show looks as woke as you’d expect.
