WHAT A BLUNDER! Terrible acting. Terrible plots. Overly glaring lense flares and graphics that try to make up for the lazy writing. I'm not a Trekkie, but I AM a big fan of science fiction in general. I've read it and watch it my whole life. This... this is a missed opportunity. A poorly cast show, ran my poor show runners, and written... well... poorly. I am truly disappointed by this garbage. I had such high hopes.
Sonequa is just terrible as a lead character. Michelle Yeoh has the most annoying voice I've ever heard, and can't act worth a penny. There is no real chemistry between any of the characters and nothing feels remotely believable it's so badly acted and scripted.
The only credit I can give this show, as that Anson Mount did a good job acting as Pike, from an acting stand point. But everyone else.. I can't think of one character that I like. They're all annoying in their own ways. Anson Mount should have been the main lead, and everyone else should have been fired, a new cast chosen that can actually act along side him.
We are witnessing the destruction of a once glorious franchise. I'm in the process of a Star Trek full watch. Started with TOS. Now I'm into season 4 of TNG. So good. But Discovery... doesn't even resemble them. OH wait, but it has a space ship!!! Not good enough.
NOW THE ORVILLE!!! THERE IS A TRUE STAR TREK SUCCESSOR. I'd like to take a second to PRAISE Seth MacFarlane for his brilliant show. Thanks Seth, for delivering to the true fan of science fiction, what science fiction deserves to be!
Additionally, The Expanse, is another example of a series that holds nothing back! Pure quality entertainment.
So why can't Star Trek Discovery get it right? Because they never watched Star Trek. You can't make a show based on a franchise you have never watched before. I've read interviews where actors/actresses and people involved had said they had never seen any star trek. I'm sorry, but if you're going to be involved in a MULTI Million dollar series... you might want to take at least a few hours, watch some star trek, read about it. It's called researching your role. How can you act believably when you've no idea what Star Trek is.
I am disgusted and offended by how terrible this series is, and CBS.
