Star Trek Discovery's Hilariously AWFUL Season 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2021
- Star Trek Discovery Season 3 was a hilarious disaster that some how managed to put an expiration date Star Trek Canon while trying to move away from it. Wanting to move 930 years in the future so Kurtzman and Paradise could be 'free' of the established lore exemplifies why they are, and have always been, the worst people for the job. Season 3 if filled with the usual Kurtzman Trek, plot holes, contrived story telling, Michael Burnham Space Jesus amped up to 11, and something new ..crying. Lots of crying. There is someone crying in 9 out of 13 episodes. The only thing left to do is chronicle a once great franchises very slow demise. What it has become is on of the most intentionally hilarious shows this side of Batwoman. Yes, we are getting a season 4 and 5, doesn't matter at this point. Star Trek is done under Kurtzman. It has never, and will never catch on. It's CBS and Netflix's money to burn.

For the record, I would watch a 3 hour long video of someone talking about how bad this show was just so I don't feel like I suffered alone.
You are not alone.
@@andrewfreshwater1843 I'd hug you, but I that's classed as assault these days.
same here
You are not alone bro
It's called therapy!!! It's a support network for the bereaved!!!! I stopped watching 15 plus yrs ago....the minority that seek to influence us are sooooo outta touch😁👍!!!!

Underrated comment!
That was deep.
The best puns are always uncomplicated. Beautiful.

Hahahahaha yes!! Use this comment in other chats. This deserves a million 👍
14:26 detachable nacelles for increased maneuverability...in space. I almost punched my computer screen when I heard that. It's pretty clear that these writers don't even care. Yet, the critics raved how great this show was. It just shows how detached the elite are from the rest of us.
What's worse is that they probably think they're clever for thinking that up. Like the retconning of Klingon biology so they can have two penii.
Wasn't there a whole thing during the tng era about how adjusting the position of the nacelles can adjust the properties of the warp bubble? Seems like it's a plot point in Voyager and why the nacelles elevate before takeoff. 6-axis movement is surely more useful than 1-axis movement for fine-tuning the warp bubble.
"elite"
@@jceggbert5 I always assumed the nacelles of Intrepids angle to fix a design flaw. The warp drive did not work with nacelles straight, when they tried to fix it, the impulse drive did not work anymore, but the impulse thrusters could not be mounted anywhere else, so the designers came up with this awkward fix.
@@schwarzerritter5724I thought Voyager did that to keep from damaging subspace with their warp drive. Remember the warp 5 limit from TNG "Force of Nature"?
The reason for the burn, has to be the dumbest plot I've ever seen. My disappointment with this season, and the show in general, was palpable.
the source of the burn was - how should i put this mildly - The Shitiest thing i have ever seen on any sci fi movies ever made in history
*cuddles hurt feelings *
You monster...
I honestly do not get it. Star Trek is loosely based on science, that's what makes it believable, the burn kind of ruins that and pushes the show out of sci-fi and into the fantasy genre.
@@bluebull399 My friend, ST is being slowly turned into sci-fantasy since TNG first aired back in the 90s -- why do you think they use so much technobabble and handwavium in these shows?
"Black Alert!" who thought this was a good idea?
@@cottonpatch2000 And your point is...?
Kid, in Gene Roddenberry's _Andromeda,_ *really* serious situations -- like having your ship boarded by Magogs -- are classified as "Code Black". Black is a color usually associated with death or the risk of death. Remember that the spore drive is not unfallible and the danger of use it is extremely high -- therefore, use it needs a Black Alert.
Watching "The Expanse" makes you realize how bad the science is on this show.
I miss André Bormanis as a science advisor :(
No, watching The Expanse makes me think: ‘there are writers in Hollywood with a FUCKING clue!”
This seasons Expanse knocks sock off Discovery....
@@MrChillidee Any season of Expanse for that matter.
@@miamijules2149 All too few, though. And it is rarer when they produce something great without having great original source material to draw from. Look at the great seasons of Game of Thrones, before they ran out of novels.
Exhausting. I’m so glad I’ve never seen an episode. Your commentaries regarding this show saved me. Thank you!
What is truly amazing is that Season 3 of STD was even worse than Season 2. I wouldn't have thought that was even possible but here we are.
@Brian Fuller
That's the problem with STDs, the longer they go untreated, the worst they get. :p
Considering the amount of focus on sexual relationships and banter that added zero to the story STD is a great addition to the description.
Kinda like the current presidency.....didn't think anyone could possible be worse than Bath-House Barry, but Creepy, Senile Pedo Joe proved me wrong!
The crying from the actors is real because they know how bad the show is.
And, tears of joy of collecting a paycheck for this - otherwise - acting-career-ending drek.
Screaming, “WHY...WHY DID WE MAKE THIS HORRIBLE SHOW?” Then after depositing their paycheck, realizing that there are no studios that will ever have them as part of their films screaming, “WHY...WHY DID WE MAKE THIS HORRIBLE SHOW?”
"Even if lockdown ends, I'll never be able to show my face in public again; Bwaaaah...!"
Actors: *crying*
Series developers: You wanna tell me what’s wrong?
Actors: You wouldn’t get it
@@tomanderson9202
Actors *ARE* the woke promoters, most if not all of them.
In the end actors are just over-the-top-glorified-pretenders.
With some exceptions, actors are depraved, perverts and among the worst of what humanity has to offer; no morals, fried brains from drug and alcohol overuse, drama "queens" and blatant narcists.
And people look up to them ...

Sounds like a bunch of haters that can't stand to see a new updated vision of a series that was too 70's
...and nobody even shoots the fucker for it. "oh, you destroyed civilisatuon and produced untold misers, you poor man, have a hug."
You deserve the Medal of Honour for, firstly, watching that rubbish and, secondly, reviewing it in this video. I gave up after Season 1. Sometimes it really sucks doing your job.
The saddest part people think this is Star Trek,
Ahhh, Kurtzmann, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us "woke is a dish that is best served broke?"
*_Kap'lah!_*
Let us not forget the other old Klingon proverb:
_"Woke is a dish best immediately flushed out the nearest airlock into the freezing void of space, promptly followed by those that tried to feed you such poison."_
"And you are very close to being broke."
@@AsDeadAsDillinger Why did I read this in Worf's voice?
LOL gold
I just noticed, Kurtzmans glasses... he’s literally trying to look like JJ, only with more hair n his chin than his head... the mirror JJ.
I hope the last scene of Discovery is Michael Burnham wakes up in the brig and it was all a dream.
I hope they all die viscously hour long deaths... Whole last Episode! Infact, make that a Mini Series...
@I Love Jesus Well that is what she does best. That and disobeying orders and never being wrong or facing any real consequences. This show makes me sad.
When they make 'diverse' characters and proceed to make them horrible, it actually makes the real people look bad even if it was none of their fault.
It has been done before....
And Bobby Ewing walks out of the shower
I cant build up the courage to watch this show
Honestly, I liked Saru back in seasons 1 and 2. He was a decently logical guy, plus I liked the mannerisms they included, like the way he sways his arms as he walked. But in season 3, he kind of started going unnoticed and became this weird enigma of a logical character where sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't.
I have been a Trekkie since I was little and after watching the first two episodes of STD I stopped and declared that this show does NOT exist. It is fanfiction of the worst kind and it is not canon. Am I ever so glad that I never backed down. STD does not exist. This is all terrible Mary Sue fanfiction.
Yes
I thought the exact same thing
I think what you are saying is too nice. I did not notice that I watched this review now twice. Thanks RUclips. This is not a TV show but a propaganda thing that would have retired men and women of the CIA laughing. They began this shit and mass produced it. There propaganda was polished. And when people were coming out and saying those old shows were nothing but propaganda for the CIA to go against communism, no one believed those claims because the shows were award winning. They were smart, funny, and dependable entertainment. This crap is nothing like the CIA and KGB would have anything to do with in those days. I mean, at least this Alex asshat says it is not a ST show. That is refreshing. I just wish that Paramount or CBS or Viacom (whatever they chose to call themselves) would take off the Star Trek name. That would be more refreshing. And Gary is absolutely correct. ST did take on the subjects and took them on much better. Back in the 80's, the MSM had many "How did they" articles and ST has the balls to talk about that stuff. Something that no other TV show was doing back then. Now-a-days, we have space Jesus and how great it is to be around her and leave everyone they knew in the past. Not following the rules of ST that "one can warp around the sun and produce time travel." (Bones) This is how bad it is. Mr. Asshat had to get away from all that just like JJ did for SW. Now, we do not have ST or SW. Thanks assholes.
Discovery is an abomination.
Maybe videos like this one are changing your perspective. It's a good show but seeing videos like this is filling you with negativity.
Wheaton: Best series ever!
Everybody else: 🤮
Shut up, Wesley!
"Shut up, Wesley!"
At least we now know why wheaton left tng. He has no idea what a good show is.
I wonder what he was paid to say that and run the fan show.
@@yulbrynner8293 Best part is, of course, that he blocks people on social media if they say that to him.
"It was the first Star Trek to suck"
This is sooooo true!
It was truly terrible. One additional thing: The ham-fisted reference to ghost boyfriend in the last episode: "I promise we will do everything we can to make sure you are truly seen." So ... ghost boyfriend does not exist except in the mind of them. But we will force everyone to see him no matter what.
Just like, with the "pandemic".
dude.."boyfriend"??
You know nothing about the actors/characters/writing.
The "boyfriend" is a , uh, how do you say....not a boy
And having Adira hallucinating about her ghost BF just because of inheriting his symbiont misses a major element of the whole Trill symbiont concept- the symbiont acts as physical manifestation of a spirit, and the Trills joined with it are akin to bodies that spirit lives in. STD tried hard to shoehorn it into the Trans+non binary stuff, but it failed miserably. Even worse, Adira seemed like a terrible stencil of Ezri Dax but adapted specially for the woke message Kurtzman wanted!

@@nusku74 His videos entertain people and he's making bank from it. That's more than can be said about Discovery. Although I'm sure half of it's audience are people getting a good laugh too.
@@nusku74 Kid, Star Trek is being slowly turned into crap since the 90s, with that insufferable TNG and all its useless technobabble and handwavium. The end result are trashes like Star Trek Discovery.
would have been better this show was filmed 930 years in the future
@@karlfoxwell8383 No. It would be better if this show finally brought Star Trek to modern times instead of keeping it frozen in the 60s. Unfortunately, this show writers are too dumb for this task.
So this ship goes 930 years into future to defeat an enemy, that's like a viking longship showing up to attack a supercarrier.
yep and the viking longship can withstand a minutes long barrage by the mother ship of that super carrier and 8 other super carriers. and leave at warp power. Enough said. ha
If you had even watched the show, the Federation of the future retrofits the ship.
That depends on the future. If it was a capitalist society they’d try to make things a lot cheaper. It would be like ramming a ‘46 Ford with a Delorean. “He'll rip us like tin foil.”
@@enigma1863 If it was a communist society it would be even cheaper. In WW2 the Soviet Union did a study that concluded their tanks only lasted a few days in battle so they could build them out of cheaper material because the tank wouldn't be around long enough for the cheap parts to fail. Oh and the crew was factored in the expendable materials.
But the long ship was upgraded! Haven't you seen Jane Fosters space long ship battles!
Just from seeing a few episodes I felt that STD felt very contrived. Whereas Ds9 felt natural, as if they weren’t even acting they just spoke as they really would in real life
There was a time about 2 years ago where my wife and I were very interested in following the Star Trek discovery show but thankfully we never have gotten around to it. After watching this video I can see that this new Star Trek show isn’t a welcoming place for us and we have zero desire to have to be “re educated” on how we are supposed to accept ridiculous social issues. The last 10 years have really blazed a trail where almost every tv show and movie now is nearly unwatchable. How hard is it to write scripts based on a good and solid story? I don’t know who’s driving this movement but they feel it’s helping spread awareness of some type but all it’s really accomplishing is further separation, anger, divisions, and hatred ultimately. It’s working contrary to what it thinks it’s working towards.
I sometimes try thinking back when it sort of began and I can say that I really started noticing it back in 2008 with the show CHUCK. Loved that show still do, but you’ll notice that every single episode had the female agent beating up males left and right but when they fought another female it was an even battle. It was more lighthearted back then but now it’s steamrolled into a place where I and even my wife just feel uncomfortable with how persistent the toxic feminism and social junk is. As a male, as a white male (which I had nothing to do with because I was just born this way) I feel like I’m not welcome to enjoy most entertainment anymore and honestly I feel isolated and targeted. I’m all about equality and have always treated others regardless of gender or orientation with utmost respect, so why am I made to feel like I’m guilty of something? Like Gary has stated many times on this awesome channel: over correction is not the answer. I love your channel Gary and love what you do brother. It’s good to see other people feel like me and are fed up with it. I particularly love how Gary said that this Star Trek show isn’t the FIRST Star Trek show to try to bring awareness lol. I mean, look at what Roddenberry did in the 60’s with the diversity of his cast! He was revolutionary in what he did to help gender and racial equality and these new Star Trek writers are just...idiots. Anyways sorry for the rant and I’m so glad this channel exists!
If you haven't already seen them, look up The Critical Drinker's RUclips videos on "Why Modern Movies Suck". My favorite: "They're written by children (for children)."
@@Hunpecked I’ll check that out thanks for the recommendation!
Star Trek saved my life. Dramatic as that sounds, TNG held my hand throughout my teens, DS9 was darker and richer and is still my favorite, Voyager was fun and has a special place in my heart. When I’ve needed escapism and to be uplifted, all five series have been a tonic. They show me a better future when I loose faith in this world. NuTrek, however, just leaves me feeling worse.
Get on the Orville and the Expanse, stat!
Agreed, me too.
TOS gave me a sense of wonder and excitement for the future in my childhood. Woke boomers powered by political correctness killed it all.
Star trek has always been about a diverse people using all their talents to make the universe a better place. More people have died and life is cheap in the new one. Std killed more in most epesodes than og st did in whole run. Hows that better.
@@rubix4195 Interesting how The Expanse has a cast that is many different races, strong female characters and is yet a really good show. Certainly Avasarala is as strong a character as Holden, and yet it does not feel contrived, it works because it is good story telling.

Just watched this again as I seriously needed a laugh. I was not disappointed. Your deadpan delivery on shockingly bad narrative and unworkable plot lines is awesome and deserves a worthy applause (as well as some serious LOL's from myself).
I remember sitting on the floor, watching our black & white Philco, and seeing a commercial that started off with a narrator saying, "Imagine a spaceship the size of a city..." with what I later learned was the Enterprise crossing the screen.
I could not wait to see the first episode, and I was not disappointed.
All these years later, I wasn't even able to finish watching the second season of this... thing. I tried, but it was so far removed from the spirit of the franchise that it made me sick to realize that, in effect, a life-long friend had died.
RIP, Star Trek
Glad you mentioned the crying! Just finished season 2 and couldn't stop thinking about how Michael cried in every single episode. It's infuriating.
But she is space Jesus.
Compare to Sisko, who maybe broke down seven times in as many season and they were all memorable as fuck.
He read the script poor lamb
@@tomaspabon2484 Shows that it ain't a problem if a character cries once a while- as long as it isn't excessive and means something. Sisko cried for things that mattered, and so did Jean-Luc, Data, Deanna, Ezri, Kirk, Saavik and at one point even Spock, but it wasn't extraneous at all and made us appreciate the characters even more.

Currently re-watching TNG all the way through. Imma ignore this pathetic embarrassment and enjoy the good stuff.

This is what happens when these industries get too much money. They can just crank out crap because they don't have to worry about...
this guy's age is a better plot twist than STD's entire show.
I call it "Cry Trek"
Alphabet community line made me laugh outloud
Remember that moment in Star Trek Voyager when the caretaker died and the crew all cried when they realized they were stuck in the delta quadrant and may never see their homes and families again? Yeah me neither.
This made me cry, with laughter!!
Voyager had it's own flaws.
To this day people argue if Janeway made the right decision and overlook that there was no decision. Tuvok said he needed an hour to activate the systems to send them back.
As if the Kazon would have given them the hour. They were able to defend themselves against the first Kazon ship by sacrificing the Maquis Raider and Kazon reinforcements were on the way.
During the whole show this is never acknowledged by anyone. Not even by fans that argue that it was the right decision.
@@thomasn3882 Ridiculous reply. The entire reason Janeway destroyed the array is because she knew the Kazon would use it to subjugate, if not outright massacre, the Ocampan Race.
@@thomasn3882 Me? No. It's just that once in a while someone starts the discussion again if Janeway made the rigth decision.
And after they destroyed the big Kazon ship I doubt they are in the mood for a deal.
And that's if they trust a group of people they know nothing about in the first place.
Voyager could leave and leave a bomb.
Or could you even risk leaving it to the Kazon? The Ocampa aside, the Kazon could send their ships all over the galaxy to raid places. Or what if the Kazon stumble over the Borg and the Borg grab that technology?
No, there never was a choice, which is why I find it so amusing when someone brings it up once more.
@@faded9581 what's ridiculous is trying to ascribe real-world logic to a TV show. Janeway blew up the caretaker because if she didn't there wouldn't have been a TV series, just a two hour TV special. The caretaker was a plot device to get Voyager and the Maquis to the delta quadrant, blowing up the array was the only way to logically strand them there.
Also, the fact that no-one really batted an eyelid at being stranded 75 years from home is one of the worst parts of Voyager, not a single tear shed? In what world would that actually happen? Certainly not the one we live in. My cousin used to drive a tank for the British Army and he would be the first to tell you that crying is perfectly natural when you're far away from home in hostile territory and you have no idea when or if you will see your family again.
Discovery Season 3 Plot in a nutshell: People in space having an emotional crisis. The Burn was caused by... you guessed it, an emotional crisis.
So much potential for storylines to the source of the burn and what a pathetic let down they came up with

What Chibnall did to Doctor Who is what Kurtzman did to Trek. Rid themselves of established lore in order to serve their own agendas.
Not comparable, Kurtzman hasn't rewritten 50 years of history. He has covered the none mention of Discovery in previous shows and pushed it so forward in the timeline, that future writers have a good 500 years of timeline to play with before they hit even the burn.
Because neither are good writers and they know it. They cannot for one moment build on something - which is what a great writer can do and have done in the past.
Chinballs crimes are still worse, sadly. He didn't bring it back after a long gap and make it shit, he took something that had been continuously on tv since 2005 and for most of it, been doing really well and completely and irrevocably trashed the whole thing. The thing is had he been in charge in 2005 and trashed it right out the door we'd have forgotten about it by now and there would be hope of them bringing back Doctor Who again and ignoring all of it, which is something that could happen with Star Trek. That 25% different thing will make it very easy to ignore. Doctor Who though... well they could reboot and ignore all the 2005 series and onwards, but Eccleston to Smith may have had more fans globally than the orignal series so it seems unlikely they'd want to discard all of that unless they were doing a full reboot which frankly is the only hope left for Doctor Who and they'll probably make that even worse (under the BBC at least).
Sorry for the rant, but I can't overstate just how badly they have fucked Doctor Who and how little hope their is for that franchise. Star Trek is in a very bad place too, but better than Who. Star Wars is the healthiest but even that has a long way to go.
@@screenwolf With you brother.
and they're not even agendas that no one gives a shit about. if people did, that would mean someone actually watches this show.
Whenever I feel that perhaps I no longer fit in with this crazy world, I come back to this channel to remind myself that all is not lost.
The only thing they got right with Discovery was the mycelial network: you need to be on shrooms to understand this show.

The Critical Drinker summed up season 3 in 10 minutes.
I just wanted to add another comment to thank you for watching this series so we dont have to!
Star Trek Discovery: The Undiscovered Audience
Stat Trek Discovery: The search for Woke
*brilliant allegory there*
Zing!
There was too much unexplained emotion, like when they first get to federation and start fleet headquarters and were all so happy like they were entering heaven even though there was bound to be a lot of tense uncertainty awaiting them which more likely would have caused a more neutral emotion until they found out how they would be accepted.
What? It had great reviews, and was the best of the 3 seasons to date. Now, where is that Trek killer, "The Orville" Oh yeah, it was canceled due to low ratings.
Dilithium's function was to control the matter-antimatter reaction that powered the warp core (something clearly not a requirement since they didn't have matter anti-matter reactors yet in First Contact and even so Cochrane was still able to build and power a crude warp engine)
However Romulans supposedly used artificial singularities to power their ships without the need for dilithium, so after the stupidity of the "burn", wouldn't the Romulans simply take over the galaxy?
Quickly.
maybe they're building up to that🤣
nah, they prob were to busy talking about feelings or something xD
Indeed, i was thinking the same, the Romulans dont use Dilithium, they would have rebuild the empire, and rule the galay, but those details need to you know, read or check something they hate
Yeah, the big hurdle for warp travel is not needing dilithium (for a specific kind of reactor), but energy requirements. Matter-antimatter reactors were only favoured because the resultant plasma is an extremely convenient way to transfer energy to the nacelles. Even if the Romulans were part of the UFP (and using UFP tech), they defo would've suggested using the "old" artificial singularity to solve the dilithium shortage. If they really wanted to have the UFP collapse due to a lack of FTL, why not use the destructive effects of warp on subspace introduced in TNG? That would require brains though, something the writers clearly lack.
Side note, I don't think it was ever stated, but I'm pretty sure it was implied during DS9 that the Cardassians used fusion reactors to power their ships, so they wouldn't be affected either...
Bro... You literally took the word out of my mouth... Great vid man... ✌🏽
Imagine a Star Trek series where the writers don't even know that the ships are fueled by antimatter not dilithium.
And Romulan ships use a completely different technology, powered by a singularity, and so would not have been affected by the burn.

@@busterkoala5906 I watched a few episodes of the first season and it was garbage, hoping for good news every time there is an updated review that comes out, that they have redeemed themselves.... alas... it seems to have become worse.
A simple "yes" would suffice. Think for yourself
He was exposed to radiation and got superpowers. This is a Marvel comic.
I watched this series up to the early episodes of season 3 when I finally realized I couldn't stand any of the characters with the possible exception of Saru and gave up. Thanks for giving me a painfree way of catching up.
"I'm sorry Dave I cannot do that. Would you like a coffee instead?"
"Computer, my name is Saru."
"No one cares Dave. This is ST:D."
Dave'S not here
..man
@@rascallyrabbit8548 no man its me dave open up the door the police are right behind me.
"So are you saying that everybody's dead?"
I would rather live in Star Trek's bad, "Mirror Universe" than in the Burnhamverse.
But that's also a Burnhamverse. Burnham is the multiverse.
They were the best episodes...
Actually, I would like to see a video talking about EVERYTHING wrong with Kurtsman trek.
And you mean “Space Anti-Christ”.
I wonder how an organization that had some of the brightest minds in the galaxy couldn't crack another form of energy production or faster space travel. On earth we went form horse and buggy to space travel in a hundred years yet the federation couldn't come up with anything to counter the burn. Second the capital of both Starfleet and the UFP were both based on earth so why would earth become isolated and without a Starfleet? Voyager had used slipstream drive twice yet nobody studied the ships logs to figure out how to use it. I don't believe a single writer watch a single episode of star trek before the J.J. Abrams ass raped TOS and gave birth to the abortion of the so called Kelvin universe.
It's very ironic that Star Trek has now a canon Mary Sue character, considering the entire concept of a Mary Sue is from Star Trek fanfic.
Canon? Please. Discovery is in the prime timeline; nothing in Discovery is canon. It will make it that much simpler when we expunge JunkTrek from Star Trek.
@@kitcat7538 Kelvin timeline is non-canon tho. Prime timeline is the one TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, etc. are in.
@@UltimatePerfection Wrong. The Prime Universe is the universe that AbramsTrek created to stand in for the Original Universe, to which they did not have access.
Paramount wanted to use the Original Universe but CBS refused permission, forcing Paramount to create the Prime Universe. Action figures based on characters in AbramsTrek, set in the Prime Universe, must be marketed as "PRIME" and are so labeled.
The Original Universe was owned by CBS (including the film universe) and the Prime Universe was owned by Paramount -- different companies with different marketing rights.
i can't believe i forgot about that.
@@kitcat7538 Original trek will be back. This std stuff won't. The fans are still buying old collectables, wear old uniforms, make old style films and stories. The new stuff is not catching on.
I really enjoyed not watching it.
Not watching what?
Petition to accept the Orville as cannon and remove Discovery and strange new worlds from existence.
Youre 51?! Omg, I always thought you were like mid 30s or something. 😱
This video really needs more attention. This is hands down the definitive synopsis of everything wrong with star trek discovery. A "platform of influence" is all anyone needs to hear to confirm their suspicions that something is very wrong with the show.
"First transgender and nonbinary characters."
*Jadzia Dax:* "No, no, don't mind me..."
*The entire genderless alien race from TNG:* "Or us." (Looked it up, they're called the J'naii from the episode "The Outcast")
But no, I'm *sure* that Kurtzman and Co. knew their Star Trek and these new characters are different in some way that makes them the first _real_ trans and nonbinary characters. No True Scotsman...
11001001. Great TNG episode.
Kurtzman himself said that "it's impossible to follow a lore of 50 years"
Meanwhile, all the historical movies and tv series following centuries worth of real-life details.
And it's not even 50 years, just TOS TNG and DS9, watchable in weeks.
@@culturecanvas777 don’t we all do that daily?
Also Q, if I'm not mistaken.
@@culturecanvas777 Or they could just hire one person who knows the lore and, y'know, ask them. I haven't watched TNG in over a decade, but I remembered that episode. There are people who could name the episode, the characters, and probably the original air date without even looking it up.
Thank god I watched your review! I started a quest to watch all Star Trek in order and after watching your video I believe I will skip STD and pretend is never existed.
I thought that the premise of STD was having a series from the point of view of the First Officer? Not only did we not get that, we have Burnham as Captain!
I've never watched STD beyond the first episode aired. Apparently, I've saved myself a lot of time and grief.
My Captain's Log remains STD-free. 🖖
I managed 3, well, 2 and a bit episodes before I threw up.
Me too. I couldn't get passed the Vulkan psychic Skype call.
Me and my mate watched the first one when it came out for a laugh. It was fucking terrible, never went back. It was so obvious it was fucking absolute and total garbage
Nice to see that even in the distant future in which STD is based, people still can’t get their heads around the whole gender pronouns bullshit.
F me, 'Pigs in Space' of "Muppet Show', looks like a masterpiece, in comparison.
A lot shorter too
Hey now. Pigs in Space was quality classic sci fi.
@@pygopygo7751 I remember Ms. Piggy weighing down the spaceship lol
@@adammakarzyk3274 damn right
Pigs in Space was awesome. Pigs in Space should get it's own show instead of this crap.
Decisions in the STD Writer's Room between seasons 2 and 3:
--One: Michael Burnham needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.
--Two: Whenever Michael Burnham's on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Michael Burnham?"
Davros to The Doctor: "I name you, Destroyer of _Worlds!"_
Nerdrotic to Abrams: "I name you, Destroyer of _Franchises!"_
The former, obviously fictional.
The latter, all too real.
That Tilly was promoted to the second officer position on the ship when 1. she hid under/behind a table/bar and 2. cries so often that there must be a literal river of tears running down the hallways of Discovery was a truly jump the shark moment. If Michael being the savior of the Universe throughout the Discovery seasons was hard to swallow, Tilly's promotion was impossible.
You should count how many times people on STD cry and then compare it with a season of ANY soap opera. I bet STD wins this comeptition!
I respectfully disagree… it is Michael who cries at the drop of the proverbial hat. Seriously, here’s this strong gal who has a “only I can & must save the universe” complex and yet she cries like a baby in every episode it seems. Drives me nuts. I want to like this series but they’ve done so much wrong to the trek line.
@@gmhalmeoni2085 Wanting to like STD must be like marrying an abuser and trying to figure out how you can stay with her. As far back as s1e1 the series repeatedly punched us in the face. The fx of Burnham's space walk early that season was nifty, but other than that? Horror after horror.
@@johnstrawb3521 yeah pretty much I remember watching discovery S1 E1 and being mildly interested only to have that interest be flushed down the toilet by the time season one concluded and season two started which is why I only watched about 10 minutes into the first episode of season two before I stopped watching. I would rather rewatch TNG over and over again until I die then have to be forced to watch anymore of this garbage.
The whole gender and race equality thing was ground breaking in the 45 years ago why are they insisting on writing awful shows and claiming the fans refusal to accept them is because they are so ground breaking?
There is absolutely no problem with progressive storytelling when it is told well. I don't speak alone when I say Star Trek, especially TNG, had a platform and clear message that all life can be equal. All progression and diversity in this show seems unbelievably forced and thrown in simply because that is what is trending today. It's so contrived and obvious and so insulting.
@@marktully9090 agreed, telling good stories about different people makes for great stories. Being forced always comes across terribly.
Because the only way they get influence or brownie points is by seeming to be more virtuous than others. And if there isn't enough of an injustice to feel superior about... Make more injustice.
I think we can all agree that The Orville is more enjoyable than this.
This video is sooooo great! Discovery is sooooooo bad!! I wish it was cancelled and removed from Cannon. Absolutely garbage
If anyone ever wondered what a CW Star Trek show would be like, now you know.
Honestly even CW manages to be more entertaining at times
We are reduced to tears watching it.
Nah, if it was on CW everyone would be hot. Even the cat would've had abs XD lol
I would like your comment but it’s on 69 so I shouldn’t mess with perfection
Ahhh exactly
Classic Trek was characterized largely by optimism. NuTrek has all the optimism of a Slayer album.
“ OH”
Gandalf
Except when I buy or go to a slayerco concert I know what I'm buying and they kick ass! When I watch star trek I want to have a positive feeling and I no longer do :(
not to mention the story-telling ability and coherence of a Napalm-Death-song.
If we’re gonna do metal comparisons, I get more of a morbid angel’s illud divinum vibe from std/stp
With the most amount of sarcasm possible I love how Burnham, not being a Trill and having zero experience with having a symbiant, is the one to figure out how to help Adira. I also threw up a little in my mouth when Silly Tilly was promoted to First Officer. No captain with combat experience would have ever done that since she has no leadership skills and no soldier with combat experience would have followed her. She would have been the first victim in a fight - from friendly fire!
Loved the nickname "Space Jesus" and pointing out that a show called STD has a story line with "The Burn"! Better writing than the writers for the show!
I couldn't make it all the way through the series. Still hanging on to the treks of the past, I tired, I really tired. It was just impossible.
Same here, so sad
Give me Captain Kirk fighting lizard men and romancing green space babes - now THAT'S entertainment!
*and notice that both are...green*
😂😂
And running past the same styrofoam rock three times...
also giant green demigod space hands
I lost it at detachable nacelles for maneuverability.
Lol that's as bad as more space in the turbo shafts than the entire size of the ship itself
@steven abell And what was that? I didn't see shit but books puzzle ship 😭💩🚮
@steven abell Except we saw none of it lmao We didn't even see any episodes dedicated to anything besides Discovery lol
@@J.Wolf90 OMG I forgot about that, I was so confused the entire scene, and the discount "See you at the party Richter" at the end; tragic.
Michael Burnham rubbed me up the wrong way all the way through this season. Stupid choices unrealistic outcomes.
I'm watching this while season 4 is playing...I'm confident I'm not missing anything other then a bunch of women cry or talk!
Much like with Picard, I watched the first episode of season one and thought. This shit ain't the Star Trek I know and love. Never watched an episode of STD or Picard since.
I have words to describe how bad Discovery is,
I cannot do the same for Picard.
The wreckage that is Picard is just beyond words.
It really looks as if written by a panel 6 years olds, literally.
They're both REALLY bad. Yet for some reason hating them is seen as making a brave political statement by dumbasses.
Picard was good.
Ever wondered why STD does not have a vulcan on the bridge? well if spock was there he would tell them how the story line and their acting skills defy logic.
Nimoy's Spock -- the real Spock -- would have. I stopped watching JunkTrek when I learned they intended to drag Spock into it. I wasn't there when he arrived so I didn't see how they degraded and destroyed the character, but I heard about it. 🤮
That Vulcan would have to reprimand everyone every two minutes.
A talentless hack acting like spock was there. He said he liked science.
that vulcan would lose their fucking mind and show themselves to the bloody airlock 🤣
@@MrDaruis That’s not Spock that’s Spork.
first, fire all production staff, second, fire all the writers, third fire all the camera people, fourth, open season 4 w/ Saru waking from a coma, seasons 1 thru 3 were a dream. G.I.Davis 6April '61
I'll continue fixing my house, playing non woke video games, or reading until I die. I'll NEVER allow myself to preached to by Hollywood in the disguise of entertainment.
This entire show could be summed up in two words, "It sucks."
I'll go one better, Shite.

@@Zanuka 🤣🤣🤣
@@Zanuka A shocking Discovery indeed!
@@morkorson4196 "It's made of our shite, you know."
The worst is reading the obviously paid shill comments online how it is: "emotional, breathtaking, powerful, best characters, a fresh take on star trek"
More like an emotional, breathtaking, powerful, fresh shit on Star Trek. Diarheea...the world they were looking for was diarheea...
I'm convinced that the only people who could like new Star Trek are the kind of people who have never read a science fiction book. Or any book for that matter.
Weirdly, I know someone who loves the show. She's in her seventies and has been a Stalinist (devoted to the old communist party) her whole life. Truly hates everything about the US. I mean, if she could, she would line up 90% of the people and shoot them down for being non-believers.
She loves the show, thinks it's the best thing on TV.
Now you know who it is for.
No paid shill unless you talking about the haters. Its #12 out of ALL streaming shows
@@jameswolf2464 stop watching it I dare you
Thanks! You just reminded me of some episodes that I had seen but managed to blank from my memory.
_"That's right buddy! You show that turd who's boss!"_ OMFG Hahahahahhaahhaaaaa!!
I can't thank you enough for the review that is likely more entertaining than the show on which I will never have to waste my time. Truly, thank you!
I liked the show. You should watch. Just don't take it so seriously, it's just a show for entertainment it's not real life. Star trek is not a real thing.
I'm shocked that this shit even gets the green-light. This is the exact, extreme polar opposite of everything Star Trek is. It's not even remotely close to similar. It's a joke, it's offensive, boring, and pretentious.
Stop watching it
I'm pissed off that they threw away "professionalism," "efficiency," "competency," and the freaking "chain of command" in a space sci-fi that is famous for it. These things are points of conflicts in this universe. A friction of duty and emotion/empathy. And, they shat it away.
@@jaythomas3224 its star trek fans WANT to watch it but if they can't follow the simple formula that made previous series popular, and amazing, perhaps they should fix the problem and stop polluting the star trek universe we all know and love that has a very extensive history with multiple series... instead they went Hollywood and are making things people are asking WTF because nothing makes sense. Non of this is rewatchable let along legendary and no, no one in 20 years is going to rewatch this garbage... you can go on youtube right now and see people posting mash ups of their favorite scene from every episode of previous series and it has 100k plus views.. you think 20 years from now anyone will be doing that with discovery? I think not.
its because everyone in hollywood is fucking stupid and think they are actually smarter than you. jesus i've been watching screen rants pitch meeting videos for the last hour. at 1st they are funny but then it just gets depressing.
@@jaythomas3224 - I did.....wayyyyyy back in season 1.
Thank you to voice that out. Absolutely right.
Gotta love that scene where loads of people are literally dying from asphyxiation and the one person charged with saving them takes time to tell them they are loved, and have a little cry before going to do the thing that might actually save them....
Aaaaand then ends up unable to escape the resulting lethal area because they themselves ran out of O2 (which should mean all the others are dead,or at the very least brain damaged)........ and then gets rescued by one of the robots that wasnt supposed to be able to enter that lethal area they were dying in ........
I'd say "you couldn't make this crap up" but they did.
