Your Discovery Review

[McAvoy]

Now the series is done. What is your review of the series as a whole?

Me, I give it a C+. I also personally place the finale above Enterprise but below Voyager. TOS to me doesn't count as they were canceled before they could do a series finale, assuming that was a thing then.

Spinning it's wheels is an apt description of Discovery. First season was so controversial that on the second season they tried to right the series but still having the same base issues.

Third season introduced the 32nd century and The Burn. But following seasons didn't follow with that concept. They had the perfect FTL drive but yet they treated it like a superhero ability that no one has. Maybe they should have introduced that drive as alternative drive. Like a very loose analogy of EV cars.

I do also have a very controversial opinion of the show.

From the start they choose to screw over the fans. Don't even say the work Klingon, or at least if you do say it in a way that nobody could understand, even when they were talking in English. Totally unforgivable.

They knew from the start that they were going to do the future jump. You only had to listen to them try and justify the tech in season 1 discussions, saying that all the continuity problems would solved sooner or later. They then fed us the future jump and classified everything. Utter BS #2.

As for the future tech / programmable matter / ships that didn't even join to themselves. So stupid it just wasn't credible. VFX given a big budget and told to make everything super cool, when they didn't even know what the word meant.

Please don't get me started on the mushroom drive. God help the guy they stole that idea from...

I honestly never made it past season 3, and have purged a lot of it from my mind, because it was just detestable, season after season. I am surprised I made it that far to be quite honest.

I can't actually think of anything I genuinely liked about it. It is sad to say, because I love Star Trek.

The trouble with prequels, is the same reason I have not seen all of Enterprise (though, I do plan to eventually get around to that one at least, even though I have a lot of issues with that two), but it is generally too easy to crap all over canon, and then simply rewrite stuff, or whatever.

When I first heard they were making Discovery, I was super excited. They could have done something interesting, it is not impossible to do so even with prequels, but they didn't even try to do something that would work for fans and the new fans they wanted to attract. So I was quickly dismayed with it, but kept going, even watched the first year after the "time jump", but after the third season just gave up bothering.

Reviewing Discovery is really difficult for me because I can't remember what happened.

Steve Shives has said that while the Klingon look was jarring that it wasn't thar bad. Afterall it wasn't the first time the Klingon look was changed.

Nah. How much crap would fans give if the Vulcans were really green, with pointy cheekbones, boney arched brows, long chins and spoke in a high pitched whispering voice in their language? Because the first thing you think of, is what does Spock look like?

Just like when Picard came out we curious on what Worf would have looked like.

Now if they planned on redoing all of the Trek aliens in some way to show them to look more alien, then maybe I would have bought it. But they only did the Klingon race. And I am sorry, just because they decided to upgrade the TOS Klingon makeup before doesn't make it an excuse to do if again while keeping the Vulcan look the same.
