I had forgotten how bad Discovery was. But this new episode proves onces again why this is the worst Star Trek series ever - by far. Even Enterprise with Archer and Co. Is more bearable than this CGI diversity crap. After this first episode of the new season I had to take a break. I won't watch the second episode until the next few days. Two episodes of Discovery in one day just isn't fun.
Plus one star because Picard appeared briefly and the episode referenced an old TNG episode. Otherwise, you can safely place this episode in the long list of miserable Discovery episodes and then burn them. Discovery basically has nothing to do with Star Trek anymore. If the crew didn't wear red and yellow uniforms, Discovery would be just any sci-fi series. Everything that defines Star Trek is completely missing. Instead, it now seems like Star Wars. A lot of action, a lot of CGI, even the music seems like Star Wars at times. And lots of shooting. The only thing missing was the light sabers. Speeder bikes and a desert planet apparently had to be enough to start with.
The dialogues are so stupid and thin, I wonder who wrote them. Feels like listening to a bunch of teenagers on the bus on the way to work in the morning. No substance, no depth. And Saru has now become a total crybaby. It is downright embarrassing how he describes how afraid he was for these poor settlers and that without them they would have been without help and hope. Hello?! The only reason the avalanche was triggered and made its way toward the settlement is because Burnham, Booker, and that other wannabe captain chased and cornered the two villains. And then this scene with the two spaceships crashing headfirst into the ground to stop the avalanche with their shields. Holy sh***! A proverbial nosedive as a metaphor for the whole episode.
And Tilly now seems to have decided to embody Melissa McCarthy in this series. In terms of body size, she's almost there (Tilly gained at least 20 pounds every season, I swear). But now she also tries jokes and stupid chatter. She annoys the hell out of me.
The only hope after this episode is: Luckily it's the last season and the end is in sight!
