A struggle to sit through. Georgiou's dull arch, ridiculous and nonsensical one liners find no target. No wonder she's leaving the show. Did she jump or was she pushed. I'd say jumped.
The whole alternate universe thing lacks reason. It's looks like the show runners decided to give the cast a chance to play dress up (in a show that's already 4 parts dress up) to show their acting range, and they all show they have none. Utterly unconvincing and nonsensical translation of what was probably on a hand scrawled script written in crayon.
This is an ensemble cast of bad actors, delivering terrible story arcs and dialog. The only saving grace is it looks good, sort of, which is the flaw of much of tv content, great cinematography/FX and nothing else, and it does appear that firing all your resources into glossy garbage isn't enough.
All the budget was spent on costumes and fx, the script department was staffed with work experience school leavers.
Add to that all the ridiculous plot holes (is there really a plot though? This is just aimless ambling with a budget).
- They've got transporters that can take you exactly to where you need to be but for some reason they decide to walk for miles in the snow and cold, maybe they needed the exercise, and they meet a guy from the 20th century smoking a cigar and reading a newspaper in the middle of a winter time in a somewhere on earth setting, and nobody bats an eyelid, this passes for plot. Magic. Obviously there are too many drugs available to this production, and not the ones that lead to creative insight, just the nonsensical bad dream ones, and they've pulled the Star Trek universe down in there with them.
To those saying if you don' like it don't watch it, remember this is a universe built for fans of the genre. It's just not that simple when you see a production team hijack the franchise to deliver what amounts to bad pantomime children's theatre.
