Star Trek: Discovery: Red Directive (2024)
Season 5, Episode 1
5/10
Have the writers been drinking?

In the first two seasons of Discovery I handed out 8 or 9 stars for almost every episode.

Since season 4 my scores barely scratch a 6.

Exemplary characters are downgraded to cry babies, the dialogues are boring and Burnham is still whispering.

Try speeding through a sandy dessert and audibly shouting orders at each other - partially without protective eye masks and not 1 single grain of sand on their faces? Details matter!

Where did Michael's wounds come from and why didn't she wipe the blood off - or be instantly healed by a fancy gadget like a skin regenerator - like all the other series had??

The original Star Trek formula is lost in space.
