Oh cool, another galaxy ending threat.
Yeah I'm checking out now I think. I really like the cast, the production design, and superficial elements, but they're obviously not at all interested in doing any real interesting sci fi, and they've barely ever delivered any of what I actually want from Star Trek.

Yes, Season 3 was set in the 32nd century. Season 2 ended with them jumping ahead over 900 years into the future. They also did a couple episodes in the mirror universe.
Lol thought the same thing. Like I'm not even sure they can be threatening anymore, the crew has done this dance so many times now.
I'm still in though, I'm more fascinated about the future alien races.
Right, thanks. Won't they head back eventually, galaxy ending threat is the past catching up or some equilibrium going wrong, guess that will be the thing, the future is safe so we will head home and mess it all up 😂
I'll still watch but I'm getting a little burnt out on the constantly saving the entire fucking galaxy that Disco (and a lot of post Nemesis Trek) does. I suppose you can't have the crew save Talerian space whales or some shit if they've spent the last 3 seasons saving every sentient life in existence.
Huge, incredible, universe spanning disasters that only this one group can solve is just getting a little tiresome. They're more storied in 3 seasons than all the crews of all the Enterprises combined at this point.

Because apparently that's the only story the Discovery writers can tell. So tired of that. The end of last season was pointing towards something different, but…nope.
What do you mean? It is pretty clear this show is successful given the amount of spin offs they have. Trek is basically the main reason people subscribe to Paramount, and Discovery constantly boosts their numbers.
Yes, I hated the ST:ENT-looking uniforms. When the NCC-1701 showed up with Captain Pike, I so wished they'd switch to those uniforms.
If their metrics tell them it's a success, and it drives subscriptions, why would they?
Looks like another great season of one of the best shows currently airing. I can't wait to watch it, enjoy it, and then never talk about it online ever again outside of very specific circles.
Yeah, this show was never about making a profit short term. Paramount+ is just getting started and one of their few key drivers for subscriptions is reviving Star Trek.
Viacom CBS knows they're behind, and is pulling back from theaters to rebuild their IPs. Loss leaders is how you drive subscriptions.
Give up on it? Are you asserting some conspiracy theory where the show is actually doing horribly but they keep it around?
What? Producing more seasons for an incredibly popular TV show that almost single-handedly ushered Trek into a new golden age?
I know, it's madness. Utter madness. What are those execs thinking...
Presume this is taking about the people who constantly shit up Disco threads to say that it's awful.
It's still its own thing, but it's...better at it? Your feelings about the actual story in S3 will vary with your tastes, but just its construction as a series of television episodes was much stronger
Pickerd Seasoning 2 cross over. They travelled from the future, which is their past, to the future, which is their future, to go back to the past, which is our present, to meet people from the future, which is their past but not the same past as their original future which is also their past.
First half or so of the season are much closer, with standalone arcs mixed in the ongoing plot. Then it kind of falls back into old habits.
Cheers! I see if I finally end up watching it after I catch up with The Expanse :)
Everything was Q.
Gonna find a way to get Pike and Number One back on it before their own series starts.
We haven't seen enough of Season 4 to draw conclusions about the final quality of the season but I'm going to say that it gives me Season 2 vibes (which is a good thing in my book) and that the Ferengi is ugly in a way that previous Ferengi haven't been which is hopefully intentional. The poor guy looks like he has Reman, Jem' Hadar and Ferengi ancestry all at once, which would be progressive and commendable in a way.
Whew ready for the new season. Love the cast and the set pieces each season are just stunning to look at. I work with a couple of "hard core" Trek people and they have hate watch each season. I keep saying just don't watch it.
IDGAF about small universe syndrome, make this dude Nog's descendant in honor of his actor's passing
lol come on now
Discovery is a mixed bag for me. It looks great, it has some great characters like Saru, Tilly, Stamets and Hugh, and I love we finally moved toward the future instead of staying in the same era (TOS or TNG/DS9/VOY). On the other hand, why always galaxy threatening menaces out there? Why can't we have smaller scale conflicts? That's all I ask for. And obviously episodes to explore more the Discovery crew.
Still kind of disappointed Burnham is the captain of the Discovery. Saru deserved to stay in that position.

I agree that I liked Saru there, but Burnham's characterization means she HAS to be the captain or we are just going to keep rehashing the same story bits where she does something insubordinate that saves the crew, but must be punished for it.
And yeah, the show continues to be a huge mixed bag. I still love it, but I would not die on a hill to defend many of its decisions.
Like the goddamn score drowning everything. Or every season written and paced like a movie.
