    Sounds like the Trekkiest Disco season synopsis since 2019. Glad to hear Tilly hasn’t entirely retired to teaching duty!

    I stopped after season 2. It was the only Star Trek show ever I disliked. Is it worth it to revisit or has it been more of the same?

    Aside from stamets, this show has the least likeable principal cast of a star trek show I’ve seen. Burnham is so blegh. And Tilly is annoying as hell imo.

      I think Tilly was a very well written character, especially in the beginning. Not much experience, friendly but awkward. Very human unlike the big heroic captains. But I agree, Burnham is the most unlikeable main character in Star Trek. I also find Georgeou and Booker annoying and Saru was cool in the beginning (especially when there was still a wow factor for the visual work) but he also wasn’t faring too well lately. Most of the rest of the cast is okay at least and Jason Isaacs and Anson Mount were highlights in seasons 1 and 2 respectively.

      That’s funny. I feel the same way, except that it’s Tilly that I care about and no one else.

    I just finished the series yesterday. Season one and two are weak as fuck and don’t feel like star trek at all. Its ok as a random explode-y sci-fi show though. Seasons 3-4 really did feel like star trek and I liked them quite a bit. One of the best parts of the show is all the main characters have a lot of growth through out the show and its done in great realistic way. The ending of season 4 was awesome and up there with some of the best trek episodes.
