    STD season 5 finale was a self indulgent dissapointment. Season 5 started reasonably well and was a improvement on the previous two seasons, they cut out a lot of the pointless tears and needy crap. The finale just did not want to end and the drawn out final act was vommit inducing, this show is so far up it's own bleep it's unreal.
    The Daniel's reveal
    was pointless and lazy.

    I am hoping the Skydance buy out will lead to much better things.

    Bad reviews for Section 31, even coming from TrekCore, the most friendly of all Trek fan sites. If they’re writing off the new film, it’s gotta be pretty bad.

    My friend and I who are pretty big Trekkies decided to watch Section 31. It was pretty bad and not in the so bad it's good kind of bad. It's pretty boring for the most part which especially made the last half feel like a slog. There are probably 6 or 7 instances where all the main characters talk to each other in a semi circle just spouting expository dialogue. All the characters feel like cardboard cutouts, the dialogue feels like it was written by edgy teenagers, and the plot twists you can see coming from the moon without the use of a telescope. I went in with an open mind and no expectations and came out of it mainly bored and uncaring. It feels like something produced by The Asylum. If you're a fan of Star Trek you're not going to enjoy it. If you're a fan of caper movies with a group of misfits you're not going to enjoy it. It's a movie that just rips off a bunch of other and better things but worse.

    Reviews were so bad for Section 31 I passed on it, it sounds nothing like the covert organisation from DS9 which was great and full of intrigue.

    Last week I started my full rewatch of DS9, Kurtzman trek for the most part sucks.

    I’m very mixed on Kurtzman. DISCO and PICARD are full of issues and rank pretty low for me. However, LOWER DECKS, PRODIGY, and STRANGE NEW WORLDS have been very good.

    From what I can see, the makers of S31 are not attached to any future Trek production, so it ought to stay that way.

    That looks fun and exciting. I have not followed the show (can't be bothered to subscribe to Paramount), but Scotty seems to be new here, no?

    He was introduced last season as a survivor of an attacked vessel.

    Their spaceship has so many lights in it. Every wall is covered in them, even the tables.

    Those are vaguely understandable, in SNW it is ridiculous. Just have a look at their meeting room next time, it’s insane

    This one? I like it, not seeing how it’s “ridiculous”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I love Strange New Worlds aesthetics. It's the perfect blend of 60's retro sci fi and modern production design. It also reminds me of the submarine interior from the game Subnautica.
