For the record, I would watch a 3 hour long video of someone talking about how bad this show was just so I don't feel like I suffered alone.

Watching "The Expanse" makes you realize how bad the science is on this show.

14:26 detachable nacelles for increased maneuverability...in space. I almost punched my computer screen when I heard that. It's pretty clear that these writers don't even care. Yet, the critics raved how great this show was. It just shows how detached the elite are from the rest of us.

The reason for the burn, has to be the dumbest plot I've ever seen. My disappointment with this season, and the show in general, was palpable.

the source of the burn was - how should i put this mildly - The Shitiest thing i have ever seen on any sci fi movies ever made in history

Ahhh, Kurtzmann, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us "woke is a dish that is best served broke?"

What is truly amazing is that Season 3 of STD was even worse than Season 2. I wouldn't have thought that was even possible but here we are.

Exhausting. I’m so glad I’ve never seen an episode. Your commentaries regarding this show saved me. Thank you!

I hope the last scene of Discovery is Michael Burnham wakes up in the brig and it was all a dream.

Star Trek: Safe Space 9

I cant build up the courage to watch this show

Just from seeing a few episodes I felt that STD felt very contrived. Whereas Ds9 felt natural, as if they weren’t even acting they just spoke as they really would in real life

So this ship goes 930 years into future to defeat an enemy, that's like a viking longship showing up to attack a supercarrier.

Basically a Kelpian stepped on Lego, and his scream destroyed all the dilithium. 10/10 writing.

Honestly, I liked Saru back in seasons 1 and 2. He was a decently logical guy, plus I liked the mannerisms they included, like the way he sways his arms as he walked. But in season 3, he kind of started going unnoticed and became this weird enigma of a logical character where sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't.

Now when I rewatch "These Are the Voyages," I don't hate it for being an underwhelming Enterprise finale, I savour it for being a bittersweet finale for all of Star Trek on TV.

Wheaton: Best series ever! Everybody else: 🤮

The crying from the actors is real because they know how bad the show is.

I call it "Cry Trek"

"It was the first Star Trek to suck" This is sooooo true!

Star Trek saved my life. Dramatic as that sounds, TNG held my hand throughout my teens, DS9 was darker and richer and is still my favorite, Voyager was fun and has a special place in my heart. When I’ve needed escapism and to be uplifted, all five series have been a tonic. They show me a better future when I loose faith in this world. NuTrek, however, just leaves me feeling worse.

I wanted to quit after 4 episodes of season 1. The wife wanted to carry on... I wanted to quit after 3 episodes of season 2. The wife wanted to carry on... The wife quit after 2 episodes of season 3. And apologiesed to me...

It was truly terrible. One additional thing: The ham-fisted reference to ghost boyfriend in the last episode: "I promise we will do everything we can to make sure you are truly seen." So ... ghost boyfriend does not exist except in the mind of them. But we will force everyone to see him no matter what.

Glad to have seen not a single episode of this train wreck.

I have been a Trekkie since I was little and after watching the first two episodes of STD I stopped and declared that this show does NOT exist. It is fanfiction of the worst kind and it is not canon. Am I ever so glad that I never backed down. STD does not exist. This is all terrible Mary Sue fanfiction.

Star Trek: Deep Space Whine.

There was a time about 2 years ago where my wife and I were very interested in following the Star Trek discovery show but thankfully we never have gotten around to it. After watching this video I can see that this new Star Trek show isn’t a welcoming place for us and we have zero desire to have to be “re educated” on how we are supposed to accept ridiculous social issues. The last 10 years have really blazed a trail where almost every tv show and movie now is nearly unwatchable. How hard is it to write scripts based on a good and solid story? I don’t know who’s driving this movement but they feel it’s helping spread awareness of some type but all it’s really accomplishing is further separation, anger, divisions, and hatred ultimately. It’s working contrary to what it thinks it’s working towards. I sometimes try thinking back when it sort of began and I can say that I really started noticing it back in 2008 with the show CHUCK. Loved that show still do, but you’ll notice that every single episode had the female agent beating up males left and right but when they fought another female it was an even battle. It was more lighthearted back then but now it’s steamrolled into a place where I and even my wife just feel uncomfortable with how persistent the toxic feminism and social junk is. As a male, as a white male (which I had nothing to do with because I was just born this way) I feel like I’m not welcome to enjoy most entertainment anymore and honestly I feel isolated and targeted. I’m all about equality and have always treated others regardless of gender or orientation with utmost respect, so why am I made to feel like I’m guilty of something? Like Gary has stated many times on this awesome channel: over correction is not the answer. I love your channel Gary and love what you do brother. It’s good to see other people feel like me and are fed up with it. I particularly love how Gary said that this Star Trek show isn’t the FIRST Star Trek show to try to bring awareness lol. I mean, look at what Roddenberry did in the 60’s with the diversity of his cast! He was revolutionary in what he did to help gender and racial equality and these new Star Trek writers are just...idiots. Anyways sorry for the rant and I’m so glad this channel exists!

You deserve the Medal of Honour for, firstly, watching that rubbish and, secondly, reviewing it in this video. I gave up after Season 1. Sometimes it really sucks doing your job.

USS enterprise ..."McCoy get over here and breath some life into this programme"...."I'm a doctor jim not a miracle worker".

this guy's age is a better plot twist than STD's entire show.

The saddest part people think this is Star Trek,

I had such high hopes, but midway through the 1st season I saw where this was going and dropped it. Thank you for the conformation of that decision.

Remember that moment in Star Trek Voyager when the caretaker died and the crew all cried when they realized they were stuck in the delta quadrant and may never see their homes and families again? Yeah me neither.

You forgot the part where Tilly was the worst Captain in Star Trek history....

Federation: bascically destroyed through THE BURN Also Federation: definatly saved through THE BURNHAM

I remember sitting on the floor, watching our black & white Philco, and seeing a commercial that started off with a narrator saying, "Imagine a spaceship the size of a city..." with what I later learned was the Enterprise crossing the screen. I could not wait to see the first episode, and I was not disappointed. All these years later, I wasn't even able to finish watching the second season of this... thing. I tried, but it was so far removed from the spirit of the franchise that it made me sick to realize that, in effect, a life-long friend had died. RIP, Star Trek

Glad you mentioned the crying! Just finished season 2 and couldn't stop thinking about how Michael cried in every single episode. It's infuriating.

Discovery Season 3 Plot in a nutshell: People in space having an emotional crisis. The Burn was caused by... you guessed it, an emotional crisis.

Whenever I feel that perhaps I no longer fit in with this crazy world, I come back to this channel to remind myself that all is not lost.

"Spumoni ice cream!... your roomy" is what passes for sophisticated script writing in STD.

Also the Federation was literally defeated by triggering

Dilithium's function was to control the matter-antimatter reaction that powered the warp core (something clearly not a requirement since they didn't have matter anti-matter reactors yet in First Contact and even so Cochrane was still able to build and power a crude warp engine) However Romulans supposedly used artificial singularities to power their ships without the need for dilithium, so after the stupidity of the "burn", wouldn't the Romulans simply take over the galaxy?

Alphabet community line made me laugh outloud

I thought that the premise of STD was having a series from the point of view of the First Officer? Not only did we not get that, we have Burnham as Captain!

"Emotions are not meant to be shared." -Pablo Hidalgo

the only good Star Trek in last decade is Orville

I just wanted to add another comment to thank you for watching this series so we dont have to!

I couldn't make it all the way through the series. Still hanging on to the treks of the past, I tired, I really tired. It was just impossible.

I would 100% watch a 3 hour video on every issue in this season

What Chibnall did to Doctor Who is what Kurtzman did to Trek. Rid themselves of established lore in order to serve their own agendas.

Imagine a Star Trek series where the writers don't even know that the ships are fueled by antimatter not dilithium.

Just watched this again as I seriously needed a laugh. I was not disappointed. Your deadpan delivery on shockingly bad narrative and unworkable plot lines is awesome and deserves a worthy applause (as well as some serious LOL's from myself).

"We are going to talk about the worst television that most of you have never seen". Yup, all the viewing I get to see is on your and The Drinker's channels. Thankyou for your sacrifice.

Star Trek Discovery: The Undiscovered Audience

The Critical Drinker summed up season 3 in 10 minutes.

Youre 51?! Omg, I always thought you were like mid 30s or something. 😱

NuTrek memory-holed wisdom from TOS Uhura: "You see in our century, we've learned not to fear words."

That Tilly was promoted to the second officer position on the ship when 1. she hid under/behind a table/bar and 2. cries so often that there must be a literal river of tears running down the hallways of Discovery was a truly jump the shark moment. If Michael being the savior of the Universe throughout the Discovery seasons was hard to swallow, Tilly's promotion was impossible.

Actually, I would like to see a video talking about EVERYTHING wrong with Kurtsman trek. And you mean “Space Anti-Christ”.

I watched this series up to the early episodes of season 3 when I finally realized I couldn't stand any of the characters with the possible exception of Saru and gave up. Thanks for giving me a painfree way of catching up.

I've never watched STD beyond the first episode aired. Apparently, I've saved myself a lot of time and grief.

I would rather live in Star Trek's bad, "Mirror Universe" than in the Burnhamverse.

Decisions in the STD Writer's Room between seasons 2 and 3: --One: Michael Burnham needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine. --Two: Whenever Michael Burnham's on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Michael Burnham?"

I gave up on STD early season 2 and I am reading that season 3 was even worse...I did not think that would be possible.

"I'm sorry Dave I cannot do that. Would you like a coffee instead?" "Computer, my name is Saru." "No one cares Dave. This is ST:D."

The whole gender and race equality thing was ground breaking in the 45 years ago why are they insisting on writing awful shows and claiming the fans refusal to accept them is because they are so ground breaking?

Whilst there are some great cerebral moments in Trek (Gareks talk on the federation, Captain Picard in a court hearing fighting for data's right to sentience), ultimately the most enjoyable part of Trek is that indescribable feeling you get when they are out exploring the unknown, be it a creepy alien ship or a new planet. This is the fundamental problem with Discovery, they just don't understand what geeks enjoy. Most Trekkies are more interested in what's in that nebula than Burnhams feelings or Tillys body positivity issues. Discovery should be the best Star Trek ever as we now have the CGI to create those strange new worlds. TNG and Enterprise nailed exploring the unknown, some of the best episodes were pure exploration escapism. I definitely rate Enterprise highly as not only were they exploring strange new worlds, they were exploring the prime directive and their place in the intergalactic community. So if it's that simple why do they miss it. I think the answer lies in the fact it's targeted at generation Z, this generation are more interested in exploring people than planets. I think a show based purely on space exploration would be seen as boring by them. That doesn't mean that the new generation aren't imaginative, they are just different. They've already proved they can do Trek with Star Trek 2009, I don't care about lens flares, that was still a good Trek movie as it had some awesome exploration parts with modern CGI. It was also funny, enjoyable and had some memorable lines and catch phrases. What CBS should do is give us a show in the classic exploration format, create one season as a tester. If it flops then fine, at least they can say they genuinely tried. We all know it won't flop, as there's millions of Trekkies all over the world crying out for it. Get rid of all the woke politics, cut out the emotional bs and get captain Pike in command and do some exploring.

I wonder how an organization that had some of the brightest minds in the galaxy couldn't crack another form of energy production or faster space travel. On earth we went form horse and buggy to space travel in a hundred years yet the federation couldn't come up with anything to counter the burn. Second the capital of both Starfleet and the UFP were both based on earth so why would earth become isolated and without a Starfleet? Voyager had used slipstream drive twice yet nobody studied the ships logs to figure out how to use it. I don't believe a single writer watch a single episode of star trek before the J.J. Abrams ass raped TOS and gave birth to the abortion of the so called Kelvin universe.

I lost it at detachable nacelles for maneuverability.

Star Trek: The Woke Generation

first, fire all production staff, second, fire all the writers, third fire all the camera people, fourth, open season 4 w/ Saru waking from a coma, seasons 1 thru 3 were a dream. G.I.Davis 6April '61

Thank god I watched your review! I started a quest to watch all Star Trek in order and after watching your video I believe I will skip STD and pretend is never existed.

"First transgender and nonbinary characters." *Jadzia Dax:* "No, no, don't mind me..." *The entire genderless alien race from TNG:* "Or us." (Looked it up, they're called the J'naii from the episode "The Outcast") But no, I'm *sure* that Kurtzman and Co. knew their Star Trek and these new characters are different in some way that makes them the first _real_ trans and nonbinary characters. No True Scotsman...

If anyone ever wondered what a CW Star Trek show would be like, now you know.

Gotta love that scene where loads of people are literally dying from asphyxiation and the one person charged with saving them takes time to tell them they are loved, and have a little cry before going to do the thing that might actually save them.... Aaaaand then ends up unable to escape the resulting lethal area because they themselves ran out of O2 (which should mean all the others are dead,or at the very least brain damaged)........ and then gets rescued by one of the robots that wasnt supposed to be able to enter that lethal area they were dying in ........ I'd say "you couldn't make this crap up" but they did.

_"That's right buddy! You show that turd who's boss!"_ OMFG Hahahahahhaahhaaaaa!!

F me, 'Pigs in Space' of "Muppet Show', looks like a masterpiece, in comparison.

It's very ironic that Star Trek has now a canon Mary Sue character, considering the entire concept of a Mary Sue is from Star Trek fanfic.

After watching a few episodes, myWife said “Tell them to stop ruining our characters “. We have watched since 1966. Sad what they have done to it.

I think we can all agree that The Orville is more enjoyable than this.

Ever wondered why STD does not have a vulcan on the bridge? well if spock was there he would tell them how the story line and their acting skills defy logic.

There is no Star Trek: Discovery; there is only "Burnham, the ever crying Trek Messiah."

I'm watching this while season 4 is playing...I'm confident I'm not missing anything other then a bunch of women cry or talk!

Michael Burnham rubbed me up the wrong way all the way through this season. Stupid choices unrealistic outcomes.

"The red angel suit has an autopilot, and so does Discovery" "I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that"

Much like with Picard, I watched the first episode of season one and thought. This shit ain't the Star Trek I know and love. Never watched an episode of STD or Picard since.

The Trill never had these emotional problems.

Such a shame, they got a huge budget... It could've been a great show

This entire show could be summed up in two words, "It sucks."

Sonar in Space. That's right: SONAR in space. Is that season 2??? Don't know, don't care. "Pigs in Space" from the muppet show was more entertaining AND clever than this.

Davros to The Doctor: "I name you, Destroyer of _Worlds!"_ Nerdrotic to Abrams: "I name you, Destroyer of _Franchises!"_ The former, obviously fictional. The latter, all too real.

Interestingly a show entitled ST Picard focuses more on the other characters while a show called discovery is all about burnham.

Classic Trek was characterized largely by optimism. NuTrek has all the optimism of a Slayer album.

It's so upsetting so see this trope becoming so pervasive. They've ruined so many of my favourite franchises.

I thought it was finished at episode 8 then realised 2 months later 4 more to watch. If someone wants to make a video of all the scenes of "I love" and crying, you could probably make a full episode :)

Embarrassingly I'm still watching it into season 4... I like the special effects and some of the storylines but this is the first Trek installment where I found myself literally closing my eyes and plugging my ears at least once an episode 😁

The worst is reading the obviously paid shill comments online how it is: "emotional, breathtaking, powerful, best characters, a fresh take on star trek"

Give me Captain Kirk fighting lizard men and romancing green space babes - now THAT'S entertainment!

A thought occurred to me (to which this show lacks). If Dilithium was destroyed, why didn't the Romulans take over the Alpha Quadrant? Their ships use a Quantum Singularly to power their warp drives - the entire quadrant would have been under Romulan rule within a span of 5 to 10 years (just a guess). But what do i know - im just a Star Trek fan that pays attention to Canon...

So the new marketing material for Discovery Season 4 dropped. One is an image of Burnham standing behind the Captain's chair with the caption "Her time is now". So it's officially the Michael Burnham show now. Space Jesus be upon us.
