Robert April was the original captain of the Enterprise, not Pike.

Thank you for saving me from 50+ hours of STDs

Discovery was not my favorite series (feels too contemporary with slang and profanity) but your review of it is probably the most level and even of the bunch. Thanks!

Just started the show. Up to episode 5 and I absolutely love it. I watched this review and it looked good to me. So far it's hands down my favorite Trek anything.

Have to say, the best thing to come out of disco, is Strange New Worlds, looking forward to a Stam Fine take on that show.

I haven’t watched any NuTrek since two seasons of Discovery ruined my enjoyment of the franchise. Thankfully I am still go back to the older ones though. Maybe they could try having less producers and more writers who know what they’re doing?

Good review. Have to admit though, still think its a dreadful show with a majority of tedious characters and little in the way of respect to fans. Tried to give it a go but was dragging myself through the last few episodes of season 1. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would have to be 'soulless'.

"Or some trivial shit like a war.". That was hilarious

I gave up on this show just before the finale of season 1. Thanks for validating that decision!

Saru is probably the best character from this. I don't enjoy Discovery, but Saru is great.

We knew when Michelle Yeoh & Doug Jones were in the cast that they were serious about doing it right. :)

Really enjoyed this review... the tone was nice and even.. Glad you didn't skip over any of the issues they show has or just blame the fans for not liking it... or just full out saying that Discovery was no different to any other star trek show... like most channels defending New trek do.. Never seen your channel before but I'm going to enjoy looking through your content..

I supported Disco when it launched, didn't mind the new Klingons, but as they leaned more and more into Burnham, it simply became: "The Michael Burnham Show" Season 2 had Pyke, so that diverted attention away from Burnham Then we had season 3. *cue Mountain Dew spit video

Loving your editing style. Several times I was just glad I didn't have any Mountain Dew around. Cleaning soda off a screen sucks.

I watched the pilot for this and the pilot for Picard and permanently tuned out on both. I never even bothered with Strange New Worlds.

Well, thank you for introducing me to this. I'll be honest and admit that I haven't been following ANY of the recent Trek.

Do Picardy Season III (or IIV). Yes, Picard Season 3 is really “Star Trek Next Generation Season VIII (or IIX)… The voyage ( to a Retirement )Home .

6:44 you put in Clem Fandango! oh SH#T😂😂😂! "Yes I can hear you, Clem Fandango!" too damn funny!!!

Season 3 of Disco was by far the best season. Fresh, way out side of current Star Trek Cannon. Was quite good… few Llooonnngggg speeches from the heart with tears. Did not like the end of season 3. Still “Does not compute. 22:23 Then season 4…. Uggg… back to Long speeches… even while out of now where, huge rocks destroying earth killing millions a second, a Truly heart Felt 5 minute speech, walking to the shuttle bay (no teleport to the deck?) while hundreds of millions of Earthers are pancaked. And loads of Rocks on Disco… every time a bridge console goes boom. Final season 5 coming up.

I’ve really enjoyed your Trek series. Hope you do DS9! I’m a Niner, and would love to see you cover it.

If I was Bryan Fuller I would have taken my name off of it. He's so much better than this trash show.

The fish is all anyone remembers about that trip.

I do enjoy this show but damn if it doesn’t constantly stop tense, time sensitive scenes to talk about unresolved character issues that should be met with “later, ensign!”

I'd love to see you do seasons 3&4 (or I guess 3-5 in a few months), after this level-headed and balanced take. THANK YOU for the Reno love by the way. (She's a huge part of why I'd love to see your reviews of the newest seasons.) Totally agree about Georgiou, I wish we'd just kept the first one. Hell, she could've headed her own show as a totally regular Starfleet captain. Also!! Given the wonderful Clem Fandango (can you hear me?) point-out, PLEASE do Toast of London. Oh my god. I have seen hardly any discussion of that great show. And, especially after Thunderbirds and Avengers, I know you'll treat it properly and understand.

Looking forward to Strange New Worlds.

I remember when i saw the first ep of season two and inmediatly said "the red angel is Michael, because of course its her". But I really really love Saru. Its not a bad show, but it the lesser of the treks for me, and i like Piccard.

It took a while before I watched Discovery, but all in all I liked it. Season 3 was... okay. First half was good, second half not so much. Season 4 isn't looking good based on the previous. BTW I posted on your Voyager video that I thought Lower Decks was the worst of the Star Trek shows; I was wrong... I had forgotten about Picard. Picard was truly AWFUL. HOWEVER... Picard Season 2 is looking very interesting. BTW I'm still eagerly awaiting Season 3 of The Orville. Sigh.

This abomination should never have the Star Trek name attached to it. It takes everything Gene Roddenberry stood for and tramples on it.

Many it's sad that I can only recall like 4 characters on this show

I couldn't get into the show, Michael is all about emotion, emotion, emotion, just toss out that she grew up a Vulcan, didn't seem to know where it wants to go with the plots, and then identity politics reared its head and that was it for me...

I liked the new Harry mud hope we get him back in strange new worlds spock and no1 and the great captain pike was the only best thing about discovery for me

Is this set in The Kelvin Universe or in The 'Original' Universe (or have they sorta blended into a MARVEL-style multiverse)?

It was evil Georgiou that killed it for me.

3 episodes on TOS, a video on practically every Star Trek movie, a video for, ew, discovery, a video for voyager and enterprise, but no video for the best, deep space 9? For shame

Fair review, I'd say. As an occasional Star Trek watcher, and not a FAN, I should have been more into this series I feel. But it left me cold. Disliked most characters, especially Michael, and her always having the answer to everything. The messing with the past and canon (although something I was only vaguely familiar with), the sister/brother thing with Spock, Spock's character, etc, annoyed me and I quit the show with the reveal of the bloody red angle's identity... It was all so... pessimistic about the future, unlike the earlier Trek's

Laughed out loud at the trillion dollar comment at the end. 😂

I only watched season 1 cos Lorka didn,t care obu Burnum space Jesus trope : )

Got some good stuff in it but so frustrating. SPOILERS!!!:: S1 ends with the Klingons (without leadership) about to destroy Earth but stopped because their new Empress can blow up their home world with the push of a button?????? Just dumb. Kleppians can all fly spaceships 10 minutes after being freed. Spock goes through so much, you'd think the one in the original show should be totally together and have no issues.

Really enjoyed season 1, but thought the next two seasons were really messy and unengaging. Wish they’d try ditching the story season-long story arks. Maybe the new Strange New Worlds series will be better.

Are the cameras tied to balloons?

Yup, these are all my feelings as well

Are you planning on covering Strange New Worlds? I hope you don't hate it as much as Disco.

Having only seen the first 3 seasons of Discovery, I saw it as a flawed but interesting experiment--certainly a lot better than Picard, which was the one I expected to like but was actually kind of a mess. The prevailing darkness of Discovery could be a bit much sometimes, though I understand it's what people expect from prestige TV these days. The serialization often had the effect of just slowing the plot down. And some of the show's big dramatic plot twists were frankly ridiculous--this is a tradition going back to the beginning of Trek, but in a more episodic show you can shrug it off and move on; here, it ends up souring the taste of a season-long epic storyline. I have not yet watched Strange New Worlds since we let our Paramount+ (then "CBS All Access") subscription lapse, but since the characters that show revolves around were some of the best things about Discovery, I'm not surprised at the raves it's getting.

I got nothing good to say about new Trek so i wont. But Picard season 3 is actually fucking good 👍. No Kurtzman to fuck it up. His name is in the credits but he has nothing to do with season 3 of Picard. Praise the gods🙏💯

it had some good moments. star trek always has been a bit campy and naff in places though. this series is no different. Michelle Yeoh is my favourite character there. the others are a bit wet behiend the ears.

Thanks , I tried to watch this show , but I just couldn't. I've been wondering if it was just me that found it profoundly irritating. There are so many good parts, but the way it's put together ....aaaagh!

For me, discovery reached its peak in season 2, all down hill in season 3&4. Those two seasons are awful. Only decent Trek show at the moment is strange new worlds.

Oh dear ! Let's just leave my views there .

This isn't Star Trek. The franchise died back in 2005. 😉

Far to complimentary for what is utter garbage, from S1E1 to the very last episode. It’s painful. I’m a Trek fan, but was gutted when I heard they’d renewed for S4. I totally abandoned it somewhere mid S2. Poor script and poor characters and even worse plots. The quicker this is cancelled the sooner we can start looking forward to something more deserving of the ST name.

"A trio of successful....well 2009 was decent at least".

So, how much did they pay you to promote this show? I made such a comment on the Star Trek reddit, and got censured for that. Then I asked about the unofficial TOS follow ups. I got blocked from posting, told I was not posting "in good faith". Bullshit. They aren't moderating in good faith if they can't take a bit of criticism, and won't allow talk about better shows.

Discovery could be great but the writing is bloody awful imo

I watched the first episode of STD, by halfway through I can say I forced myself to watch it. It might have made a standalone science fiction show, but it didn't remind me of Star Trek.

Ah, Stam Fine, what did you think of Season 3 of Discovery? I have watched all three seasons, and I think they get progressively nonsensical and way too maudlin.

I think I truly started to despise the show when I realized two or three episodes in that Tilly was supposed to be the comedy relief. It hadn't occurred to me until then because she was so not funny I didn't even realize she was supposed to be.

Personally I felt Discovery was moderately good overall at times a 6.5/10 or 7/10, and suffers from some things! Bad looking Klingons and the story telling doesn't feel like the usual positive style Star Trek of old. Most of the bridge crew have no personality nor names I remember (and are window dressing), except the main captain and second in command and Tilley or guest stars that show up like Book. Saru is a great actor though. Michael Burnham is too often considered right and saves the day miraculously, and some fans call her a Mary Sue character (my opinion is mixed). Season 2 with Pike and Spock appearing was great because of them alone. Fans wanted a spin off and got it with SNW. Season 3 is mixed reviews again with some good episodes, Book is great, however I really did not care for the weird alien 10C, but I did like the "math/sound communication" original idea. Story of 10C dragged on too much. Mixed reviews indeed. Space magic often saves the day and we see a lot of it in the 900 year ahead future.

🤣

About the same quality level of Star Wars movies post Return of the Jedi. A big steaming pile of crap.

Watched the first episode when it was free and didn't care for it so I never wanted to subscribe to CBS's streaming service. The more I read about it, the less I wanted to see it. I don’t have the same hatred that most fanboys do, but the series just holds no interest for me.

I loved the first season, but after that... meh?

My condolences for suffering though this shit.

Star Trek died years ago. I will stick with the earlier series.

Star trek discovery is bad and about captain Branham

Star Trek discovery is a complete abomination and the worst Star Trek by far. Why they keep on making discovery I will never know considering how bad the writing is and how low the ratings are. It really makes you appreciate how top notch all the other Star Trek series are in comparison. Discovery is truly a star track and science-fiction fan‘s nightmare. Hopefully one day the nightmare will end.

When it was announced a new Stark Trek show was coming like many fans I was excited and couldn't wait. By the end of the first season I hated Discovery with every fiber in my being. I haven't seen every television show ever made. But Discovery is the worst television show I've ever seen and the one I hate the most.

Decent review. Glad you sort of liked the show. I didn't. I hate Tilly the most. A grating character. Like getting an aggressive massage with sand paper. It gets that itchy spot, but then you require skin grafts.

I suffered through S1 and S2 and that was enough. Woke speed 10 replacing warp speed 10 meant straight to the memory hole as fast as possible. There are no redeeming qualities of the show. Thank God for The Oriville, which in S1 and S2 was must watch, and always enjoy, TV. S3 on Hulu where they went way past hour episodes hurt The Oriville, but it was still light years better than any modern Trek.

Not only the worst Star Trek, but the worst TV show ever made.

Star trek discovery is ok

Axanar

So no season 3 and 4 breakdown. Thought so. Even Stam couldn't take it anymore. Imagine how the fans feel.😂😂😂

Star Trek Wokeovery? Yeah...It's horrible.

Too woke for me. 🤔😕

Woke Trek: To bodly woke where noone has woked before, and hopefully noone will ever woke again.

ST Disco is unwatchable. I disliked the show after the first few episodes of season 1.

the show is wrecked by the contractual 25%diffenences, and its new woke bullshit. I gave up after giving it a go for the first season.

This was so shit, designed for god knows who, a lot of crying, but at least Clem Fandango is in it, it should have concentrated on a plot and entertaining people instead of race, sexual preference and gender politics and pushing unbelievable Mary Sue characters, like the 5ft 2 inch nurse that is able to take down Klingons with the moves she learnt at medical school?

Discovery was by far the worst star trek

I thinks it stinks!
