The reverse of that post I’ve made a week ago…
Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.
For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.
Discovery was such a waste of potential. They kept killing off the interesting characters and promoting the least interesting ones. Then the secret to saving the universe one season was rescuing a crying lonely alien. 🙄
He was more the cause of the end of the world than the solution, but yeah.
I thought it was… fine? I mean, not the most well rounded thing in Trek history, but fine.
Discovery suffered from being just fine after having to deal with massive backlash for trying to be different. That and carrying a season-long arc while trying to be a Trek TV show in between the movie bits.
But I would absolutely watch any of the first four seasons of Disco than any part of Picard. Any day. Season five is a mess and I really don’t vibe with their take on spirituality, but that’s mostly just me.
