Two. Started out interesting. Devolved into the Michael Burnham crying hour. I couldn’t tell you the names of half the recurring characters on the bridge because they were so under utilized. What a waste of a great cast. I especially despise plotlines like the doctor’s where characters die and are magically brought back to life like a nighttime soap opera.

They should have spun Book and Burnham off into their own show, made Saru captain, and concentrated on creating an ensemble show.

They wasted Jason Isaac’s character too. Don’t even get me started on the season where the universe was coming to an end because some alien had the sads.

Yeah, I agree with what you are saying.

But when looking at the bigger picture. This was the first time we had trek back after a long time. I think they took the criticism from this show and applied it to SNW and LD, Picard is kind of its own thing, but Season 3 of it was pretty good.

The final discovery season has been pushed and I’m hoping they decided to rework the show to give it a good send off.

But the cause of the burn was really disappointing.
