Hello Flavio!

I have a love/hate relationship with it. Overall I enjoyed the
series, but lots of things made me sad, or just irritated me.
Star Trek has always taken chances with stuff that`s not quite
"scientific". Beings like the Q have been around since the very beginning, The
"galactic barrier", etc. Roddenberry tried to squeeze in "The crew meets God"
on multiple occasions and was rebuffed (which was a good thing, look
how Star Trek V turned out). The spore drive though just kind of hurt
my brain. Eventually I came to accept it, but it felt like more
fantasy than sci-fi. Mushrooms are fascinating and there`s a lot we still
don`t know about them, but believing there`s an entire network of mycelium
throughout the galaxy? eh...
Discovery focused more on problem solving via emotional intelligence
vs logic & experience. I guess it`s a valid way of doing things, and
they seemed to challenge it a bit when they brought Rayner in on the
last season, but trying convey and bring viewers along for that emotional
journey each and every episode was a little exhausting.
I feel like Detmer, Owosekun and Zora all got done dirty. I know
the actors had scheduling conflicts during season 5, and that`s why they
weren`t around in the second half, but I really wanted to get to know
them as characters. Maybe we would have if we got a season 6, but they
had a full 4 1/2 other seasons to do that. Season 6 supposedly would
have told a much longer story leading up to what happened in the Short
Trek "Calypso", instead of the tacked-on ending we got in the final
episode. I`m guessing that was a huge part of the "reshoots" that were done
after it was announced Season 5 would be the last.
All in all, Discovery was just "OK" for Star Trek. I`m incredibly
happy that it launched an entirely new era. It directly spawned "Strange
New Worlds" which is fantastic, the upcoming Starfleet Academy series
that will give us more Tilly (Mary Wiseman is amazing), and the Section
13 movie with Michelle Yeoh that I`m really looking forward to.
What I`d really want to see though is an entire series on Jett
Reno. Tig Notaro`s dry humor and razor sharp wit put me in my happy
place. Fingers crossed that she moves to yet another career as a teacher
at Starfleet Academy :)
