Without a doubt, STD is the most controversial series in the franchise. What do you like about the series as a whole? What do you dislike about the series as a whole?
Michael Burnham and how stretched her story was. I’m more of an episodic fan too. Then you had a lot of subplots that made no sense or didn’t matter. Also annoying characters got way too much screen time. Not sure why so many of them must be quirky to be interesting? Overall my most disliked Star Trek.
There was this tardigrade episode that was fantastic, I wish STD had all been like that.
I hate it. I tried to like it but overall, I am appalled by it. There was one exception: The way they portrayed the relationship between Stamets and Culber was nice. However, the dumpster fire at the center of the show is Burnham. I have never seen a show try to glorify a main character like that unless there was some irony involved. STD really shoves Burnham down your throat again and again. SHE saves the day/ship/federation/universe. She is praised constantly, just in case you idiot failed to realize how magnificent she is, and, hey, did we mention, she is…ummm…SPOCK’S…SISTER!!! Yes, his sister! What? Doesn’t make sense? Shut up and love her already! Then, the plot holes. Would it have been so unbearably hard to write scripts that at least try to look consistent and logical? As for the dialogs: they are important to show how great Burnham is. I found myself skipping over most of them without missing anything important. Oh, and, then there’s Saru‘s sister piloting a fighter while Burnham‘s mom returns from the dead to join a ROMULAN order of warrior nuns. In my opinion, as personal and inconsequential it may be, this show is a big F*** YOU! to Trek fans.
