With the exception of the episode "All In", this season has been quite good! It is telling a good story about this Dark Matter Anomaly that has been discovered to be a mining device sent from outside the galaxy. Now, what ever that civilization is, has turned the DMA loose on the Alpha quadrant.
Sure, the season's plot could have been expedited - several missteps along the way (see "All In"), but all in all, good story telling. Good back stories. It is an 11 hour movie broken down into 56 minutes parts. The final episode plays out next week; I hope it concludes with some intelligence and not another "The Burrrrrn" conclusion.
The ensemble seems to have gotten into their groove - Burnham, Saru, Detmer, Owo, etc. Some cast members need to come back (Tilly, Grudge). The interactions feel organic, honest now; not scripted.
---------- Onto these reviews. I see the same people giving a "1" or none rating and flaming the show. Ya know... if you hate it that much... don't watch. I cannot STAND "Below Decks" and "Prodigy". After a hand full of episodes, said my peace, turned them off and tuned out both series.
Star Trek is so old a franchise. I watched it in real time in the 1960's. I have signed posters from William Shatner and James Doohan. The TOS Enterprise Hallmark ornament and the JJ Abrams Enterprise are hanging in my office. There are so many venues out there to rekindle the love of the old. Why incessantly and and continuously bitch about this show?
Hang it up and move on - you are not adding to the conversation.
