throbert Review of Star Trek: Discovery

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Flashy, entertaining and nothing you haven't seen before

[6/10 · 2 June 2018]

Lists many of the obligatory contemporary sci-fi topics: parallel universes, time loop, adds a lot of tearful eyes, love and betrayal. The creators played it safe, nothing too creative or risky here, all too predictable. The storyline got back to the original klingons are the baddies let's kick their butts. No high politics, no social commentary, nothing too deep. It is not bad, but it isn't good. Lukewarm.
