  • Star Trek Discovery S5

    I am still chewing through this... I like(ed) the show but man this last series is slow and could have been so much more if they chose to... I am coming to the conclusion I rather dislike shows that have ten episodes and tell just one story so jolly slowly you want to gouge your eyeballs out.

    And in doing it so slowly you add fluff and fill just to make the story long enough to fill 10 episodes.... le sigh..

    I feel the same way. It's disappointing to get through a whole season where there's only 10 episodes and there was only one story. I liked the older Star Trek shows (and Strange New Worlds) wher eeach episode is its own story.

    I do like Discovery's season 5 probably better than the earlier seasons though. Even though it's a one-story 10-episode season, I think the story they've chosen is interesting, in that it's continuing from something started in The Next Generation.
