Let me preface this by saying I absolutely love the Star Trek franchise. I have repeatedly watched the shows and movies from the past. This show is an abomination and a disgrace to all Star Trek. This show is so un-Star Tek that they need to mention things from the previous series. Why mention Jumja Sticks? Oh, maybe it's an effort to say "we are Star Trek", Not! Previous series had their own identities and did not rely on dozens of easter eggs to prove they are a part of the franchise (except maybe the Kelvin timeline movies, which were not great).
The overly emotional scenes are cringeworthy and do not fit in a Star Trek world. The incessant whisper talking is very distracting. With the amount of emotional baggage, and a need to be praised all the time, these people would not fit into a "real" Starfleet. Discussing emotional issues, and pausing to do so, in the middle of a crisis? Imagine, in the middle of the Pearl Harbor attack, officers stopping to discuss; whether they are worthy of the fight and would their loved ones still respect them. Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek world was based on extreme plausibility and theoretical science. Not mushroom engines.
In the current episode(s) they are given a mission to recover something REAL important. They were not told what it is because it is classified...Huh? Well, they get to the derelict spacecraft to recover it (of course, not knowing what it is) and to their surprise a couple of scavengers were removing objects and flee with them. Of course, our heroes give chase. Wait, how did they know that they took what they are looking for? It was classified, remember? Later, the "synth" (or Data-like character) was dead. If it was a "Synth" why was it "still warm" when they felt his neck?
The plot holes and spontaneous (made up to justify a plot hole) details are too numerous to mention. The plots (not just this episode), seem awkward, and it is almost as if a fourteen-year-old has written them.
I am watching this final season only because it is "Star Trek" but do not enjoy it much. I'm sure I will not watch this again.
