Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Starfleet vessels seen in the first season, including the Discovery, the Shenzou and the redesigned Enterprise, were all designed by production artist John Eaves. Eaves' work with Star Trek spans three decades. Probably his most notable contribution was the design of the Enterprise-E for Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
- GoofsWith Michael being the adoptive sister of Spock, the series has many flashbacks to their childhood and upbringing on Vulcan. Spock's Vulcan half-brother, Sybok, does not appear nor is mention during these scenes. In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), Spock says that he and Sybok grew up together. However, since it's never stated when Sybok joined Sarek's home - only that he did so following his mother's death - or when he was exiled from the family, it's not impossible Sybok moved in after Burnham, and left before she graduated (the two extremes of the flashbacks). Also, since Sybok was never mentioned before Star Trek V, it seems reasonable the family never spoke of him again after his estrangement.
- Alternate versionsThe serif-font legends and subtitles in the "broadcast" episodes are absent from the DVD versions, where they are replaced with the standard DVD subtitles.
Featured review
Good Riddance To Bad Trash
This show has been nitpicked to death by every vulture on the Internet, so there's nothing new to say until new episodes air. I find myself watching S5E3. It's hard to avoid it, as a completionist Trek fan. I should really get around to watching the TOS episodes that I haven't seen, and watching TAS, but CBS want me to think about whatever the hell is supposed to be happening as they wind down their flagship show. Sometimes, like right now, I choose to indulge them.
The problem is that when I give the show my full and undivided attention, it just isn't interesting. The characters vary from unlikable to incomprehensible. The few good characters (Saru and Tilly) are sidelined to give Burnham's fizzle of a character arc perpetual screentime. Sonequa Martin-Green will probably go on to do much better things if she can shake the emotive style of acting that was clearly encouraged here. Speaking of emotive: the emotions that pour out of every character at every opportunity are thematically incoherent when viewed alongside other Trek series. Appealing to faith and emotion is antithetical to the rational and scientific attitude that this show apes but fails to demonstrate. It really falls apart when you ask the audience to take it on faith that your story makes sense. There are no original concepts here, or even interesting retreads of old ones. SNW and Lower Decks are far superior shows. Alex Kurtzman is a monster.
