I originally gave season one 10/10 on IMDB, but that time has long passed.

Season 1 was interesting and funny, except for the medieval fairy tale episode, but season 2 is a disaster. I liked the Boimler episode, you fixed the Klingons, but that's about it.

The new chief engineer is a failed copy of Chrisjen Avasarala from the Expanse, Captain Pike has become a sidekick in his own show, Spock was reduced to a comedic relief character and the other bridge officers turned into interchangeable cardboard cutouts like in Star Trek Discovery. I don't care about their names or stories anymore, because they're all the same traumatized victims of something irrelevant.

I expect this to get cancelled like every other ST show very soon.

I don't get the positive reviews. Nothing happens in these first 3 episodes until the end. I completely zoned out and nearly fell asleep while trying to watch this.

Where is the Empire they talk about? Where are the stormtroopers? Where are the spaceships?

Instead we get these Blade Runner-vibe wannabe-cops who can only be described as Jar Jar Binks-level clowns, especially the chubby Chernobyl coal miner who ran around with his exposed wiener, who acts as unintentional comedy relief character, I guess.

Hope it picks up the pace, because this is nothing. Not bad. Just ... nothing. I'd rather watch Obi-wan again. Obi-wan was bad, but at least it was Star Wars.

Star Wars seems to be in a bit of a decline. Mando started awesome, then Boba came along and kind of ruined it. Now this boring adaptation of the Fallen Order videogame.

Unlikeable characters and Obi-wan fiddling with a blaster. It was just a chore to watch. Leia did great, but that's about it.

Oh and the finale gave me Episode 8 PTSD symptoms. What is up with tiny ships being able to tank a Star Destroyer for hours, but big Mon Calamari cruisers going down in seconds?

This could have been great, but the writers failed at almost every level. It's not a total disaster, but nothing worth watching twice.
