@@abbynormal8702 Well she is Michael Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way Bo Burnham after all. She has to be the best and the older, previously unknown sister to an original protagonist that also travels through time with an ironman magic suit✨
I was thinking about starting a drinking game over how times Burnham cried during this show. But then I realized something: no one would survive to the end.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one that thinks it. She's just way to over dramatic all the time. It's ridiculous she's meant to be the main character, she should at least be slightly cool?
Honestly she is the only actress in the world that I hate watching in EVERYTHING- I can’t stand everything about her, including her permanently “pained” facial expression, self-absorbed ego that shows through every part she acts, even the pretentious name her parents gave her. Star Trek is my favourite TV show & I couldn’t wait for the new one. So you can imagine my joy when she was cast as the main part in STD. Fortunately the show is unwatchable even without her joyous contribution.
I literally couldn't make it through some of the episodes. It was painful to watch and I had to skip these parts. In the end I cancelled my subscription entirely. The series has really gone downhill
Never in almost 400 years of Star Trek ages that we have watched, have I ever seen anybody cry as much as her. How the fuck did she even make it past Starfleet Academy?
Burham is the only person crying, even at funerals. It's just look too silly if more of these professionals cried and bummed out each other.... Crying means extreme reaction, a crying soldier is sent home and not kept with their finger near weapons... I'd respect the writers if they showed Burham being told to take month off or showed her being incompetent for being so non calm . We all know drunk crying people shouldn't operate machinary let alone phasers..... it's a wacky character, I guess she's like an ancient Vulcan overwhelmed by emotions..
I was facepalming the entire season xD everything explodes, every second counts and the heroes are smalltalking about their emotions in slowmotion and bathing in tears all the f**king time
"...smalltalking about their emotions in slowmotion..." Hahaha, now THERE is a sentence I never could have imagined. Made me LOL. The absurdity of it. You, sir, are a poet.
I remember watching an episode of TNG. It was the one where Picard goes home to recover from his Borg enslavement. At the end of the episode, Picard breaks down in tears in front of his brother. The moment made my heart ache because Picard was always so stoic and unflappable. It took a lot to get him to react emotionally, and that’s what makes him breaking down in tears more poignant and sympathetic. The crew of Discovery cry at the drop of a hat and you just can’t empathize with them because their constant tears gets annoying.
Yeah, I was actually psyched about season 3 but I’m in awe only how much of a fuck up it is from the writing of the characters, the overarching story and almost everything. It’s like they had no good ideas at all and just mashed some stuff together with melodrama on top. Just terrible. Weakest season of any Star Trek show I’ve ever watched. What a waste.. It could’ve been so good and interesting.. I’ll still keep watching though with small glimmer of hope that it gets better but after 6 episodes of “We don’t know what to do but cry about stuff” I don’t expect much anymore. As a lifelong Star Trek Fan I’ve never felt so disappointed tbh. I mean sure, the Kelvin movies were meh but it was still Trek. The last two TNG movies were meh but it was still Trek. Archer’s Enterprise that wasn’t popular was classic Trek to a T with obvious caveats from going back instead of going forward but it was still good and enjoyable. But Discovery Season 3? Oh my god... It’s like they purposefully are trying to destroy a franchise at this point because no one in their right mind can be so unimaginative and bad at writing after decades of Trek.
@@Lock2002ful Yeah they seem to believe that if you have people sobbing literally every 5 minutes with the violin strings playing in the background, everyone will forget how dull the story is.
Somebody like burnham would be extremely prone to making rash decisions based on emotions, a proper crew would have lost confidence in her extremely quickly and she'd be given a desk job where the worst damage she could do is filling out a shipping order Incorrectly
In all honesty, Enterprise was terrible. The only good thing about it was the thing we now hate: that season 3 long Xindi arc. I thought, okay, this is different. But I didn't like that it took up an entire season.
1:49 that moment when your just ate a volcano burrito and you realise you suddenly have a major intestinal urgency thats going to take you at least the next 20 minutes to deal with.... :P
This character seems to have 3 different ways of emoting: whispering, crying and whispering while crying. But then the forced camaraderie between the rest of the crew is almost as hard to watch as Burnham.
@Maria and Max People are sheep, throw in some glossy effects & all of a sudden everyone's a "Trekkie". I don't know how you got that I think Star Trek is closed minded from my criticism of the shows descent from logically examining situations into childish emotional rants, maybe you just meant to call me closed minded personally. When you think of an argument you can logically explain get back at me...guessing it will be a while.
Exactly!! Her acting is SO awkward and dramatic, I don’t know how could she gets this role. The story is ok for me if I don’t treat it seriously, but her acting is not ok at all.
Why are the writers and producers so obsessed with this one character to the point she's elevated to near god-hood? Is Kurtzman trying to get the main actress into bed or something? I really can't understand why they write her so over the top perfect and base an entire show around her.
I can'r blame Soniqua, she's been given the shittiest script know to man. She's been given an amazing opportunity, but whoever is writing and producing is absolute ass.
Ya. I cried so many times In the Orville. Most recently in that episode about that female colony (I won't give spoilers just in case you havnt watched it)
I wonder if you cried at the same moment that I did.
Spoiler: In that episode, "Sanctuary", I cried at the very last shot, when we see something that we have never seen before. Bortus smiles. That one simple moment had a world of meaning behind it. It got to me.

In season 3 she is still pissing through her eyes at least 3 times per episode. I am starting to individually hate each character. Oh well, at least I'm getting to know them through the hate...
It's hard to understand the disconnect between this waify MIchael and the stone cold, distant Michael that beamed aboard with Sarek eight years before.
she never even bothered asking Saru about his family until season 2 of Discovery . and yet she's suddenly his best friend ever and loves him . it's written badly and illogically and that's why it doesn't work

@@abbynormal8702 could also explain why no one uses it past the discovery canon, starfleet medical could have done extensive research on it and found this out, not even other races would use it because of these effects
That's one thing I have to disagree with. Yes, she was rasied on Vulcan, and taught to supress her emotioins. But She is not a Vulcan! She hasn't got the luxury of generations of emotional supression like actual Vulcans do. She is still human, and therefore has fragile human emotions. So it makes sense for a woman who has supressed her emotions for so long, to finally come to terms with them at very emotional situations. My only problem Is the extreme volume of emotions that she seems to display in every episode as of late. It get's a bit too much to deal with, when every other scene is her balling her eyes out.
I’m a die hard Trekkie fan. Stopped watching this show because I can’t stand her crying all the time. If I wanted to watch an emotional soap opera I’d watch Oprah. Her excessive emotional crying ruined the show for me. Couldn’t even finish season 1.
@@Moondog2010A Love Star Trek and this one had so much potential, and there are great parts of this show, but like I said it is my personal opinion only. I can't stand the drama and the incessant crying. STNG and DSN still my favorites. Voyager was solid, the new Piccard is absolutely Fantastic.
Same here. Ugh. It's a pain getting through each episode of STD season 3. I can only watch in short bursts of 15 minutes. It's a cast of emo kids who aren't fit to be starfleet officers. I guess millennials grew up and started writing for Star Trek. Can't wait for GenZ to take over in about 10 years. Not!
Worst character ever in history of science-fiction. What kind of ST concept is it to have main character?! This can't even be called Star trek. This is just sad. So sad.
I was going to leave a joke about Michael's crying, and the double standard if this was a man, but after watching this my only question is seriously why was this show so melodramatic? It makes the crew of TNG all look like emotionless Vulcans.
It’s fine that she is an emotional person, but this happens so often that you eventually can’t identify with her anymore. It stops being a moment that positively highlights the figure and her character. It’s just like eating chocolate every day. After two weeks, its no longer special.
Overacting. Those outbursts can't possibly all be plot-appropriate. Is THAT supposed to be a Starfleet captain? Also, is THAT supposed to be an actor? Also, what idiot director approved of that and kept it in? Unprofessional both in-universe and out. Repulsive.
If they could bottle her emotions, they could solve the energy crisis. Emotional instability is a quality expected in every Starfleet officer. Of wait.... no it isn’t.
I am not going to hit the play button, like, forever. I came here searching for something to comment on. I was so frustrated with STD (!) especially this Burnham character and the woman who plays it, right from the first episode. Then I found that it's this woman who plays it. She's awful and must be thrown into a wormhole never to return. I was praying the whole time, I am Trekkie and have seen 3 or 4 times ALL the Start Trek franchise/episodes including the animated series. Now, the ghost of Gene Roddenberry has answered and that woman was sent where she belongs. And the season ended on a brighter note, I am happy to say. I only hope I will get to watch STD (! again!) without cringing whenever that awful face with more awful dramatic expressions appeared. Now, I think I can get back to watching STD (! okay I guess this time) with popcorn and soda and with a relaxed Trekkie attitude. Somewhere in deep space I can visualize Spock nodding his logical head, positively.
Same here! In my case, I had been watching TWD where Sonequa played Sasha... I thought there was bad writing about her character (like the rest of TWD show) but while watching DIS I started to think that maybe her acting is this way. So frustrating... I watched not every but yes some trek shows many times over and over again, never stoped an episode at the middle because some character made me sick or something but DIS did that, sometimes I hated so much the unnecessary crying that I has to turn tv off :/ lol I think sh*t happens haha
She isn't a bad actress at all. Great work on Walking Dead. Rather, is very poor writing that exists only to make political points, rather than provide escapist Sci-fi that Star Trek usually excels at
It's hard to believe there are those who say Burnham rarely cries or that characters only occasionally show emotion on this show...but there are. I can only guess that they like the melodrama and are being disingenuous in owning up to the fact.
@@noellefritz5678 I´ll tell something about Star Trek: Uhura, Deanna Troi, Doctor Crusher, Tasha Yar, Major Kira, Jadzia Dax, Captain Janeway are great woman/characters, I don´d know you notice it. But they are remarkable, good examples of human beings and leadership. Don´t use your agenda against anyone who thinks different than yourself.
Thank goodness i found this video and comments. I have been telling all my Trek friends that this is ridiculous. STOP CRYING !!!! I love the diversity in the casting but ENOUGH with the melodrama and the stupid crying and violins in every freakin episode. Leave the crying to the Hallmark channel PLEASE !!!
"I love the diversity in casting" lol, so you LOVE that they hire people based specifically on their skin color, or because they aren't a certain skin color? You love that racist, Marxist, regressive garbage do you? I don't think you really do, i think that's a virtue signal.
I was thinking why I always want to skip the bs talking moments in discovery, and why it never happened in TNG. And I got it, they never talk about how they feel in old traks, the showed it in decision making during episode progression, depending on situation. It was never 5 minute brake with portrait shoot of every crew member talking about how their feel. In old traks relationships between crew members was something you we're not allowed to see, because they were on duty. That's why to see full episode of Data doing his regular stuff was so exciting, because you kind of get to see some backstage. Same with Riker and Troy, Pickard, Worf etc. They were professionals. Discovery is more like a vessel of a emotionally unstable teens. I don't want to be the guy who says that everything new sucks. It's more like self analysis of what's so irritating in this show
The way people spoke and conducted themselves in TNG was actually one of the biggest appeals of the show to me. Everyone seemed so emotionally mature, even Worf who -- in spite of his Klingon rage and stubbornness -- would often be able to calm himself and speak openly soon after he got upset. I think the way the crew member conducted themselves so professionally on duty also set up many hilarious moments of a kind very unique to the show.
@W D Well, they managed to rip off every single "thing" under the sun, so why not... The Orville made fun of them, ST:D used them as a template for dramatic effect!
In Season 3 she cry´s every episode alone in episode 7 nearly 3 times !!! this is so annoying and irritating. Such a sissy as number 1, riker has never cried....
So if you take five to six minutes per season and there's going to be five seasons, that means you will almost have an entire episode length of Burnham crying. Such a waste........
Imagine being part of the crew and your captain is crying all the time about non issues. How can you ever respect her as your superior? Discovery is garbage. 🤦♂️
Crying on demand is the province of really good actors. As is laughter, or... any other display of emotion. Sonequa Martin-Green is a very fine actor. The production’s focus on her weeping is a scripting/directorial/editing miscalculation. This wonderful actress looks a fool because her ability to cry is wielded as a blunt instrument-like an attempt to badger audience expectation in a certain direction. (In the absence of other merit.) Or, as you say; the actors deserve better writing. (And so does the audience.)

@@Moondog2010A Love Star Trek and this one had so much potential, and there are great parts of this show, but like I said it is my personal opinion only. I can't stand the drama and the incessant crying. STNG and DSN still my favorites. Voyager was solid, the new Piccard is absolutely Fantastic.
Same here. Ugh. It's a pain getting through each episode of STD season 3. I can only watch in short bursts of 15 minutes. It's a cast of emo kids who aren't fit to be starfleet officers. I guess millennials grew up and started writing for Star Trek. Can't wait for GenZ to take over in about 10 years. Not!
Worst character ever in history of science-fiction. What kind of ST concept is it to have main character?! This can't even be called Star trek. This is just sad. So sad.
Someone finally did it. Lol! Please include the remaining seasons too
I was going to leave a joke about Michael's crying, and the double standard if this was a man, but after watching this my only question is seriously why was this show so melodramatic? It makes the crew of TNG all look like emotionless Vulcans.
Written by women
"Are you crying? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN STARFLEET!"
This is the most unprofessional Starfleet crew ever. Everybody is always crying. Man up ffs, you're Starfleet officers, not blubbering babies!
She's part Vulcan which makes her constantly crying sooooo impactful, and not at all contradictory or inuring
Que Saru crying for an hour nonstop
too much saus
It’s fine that she is an emotional person, but this happens so often that you eventually can’t identify with her anymore. It stops being a moment that positively highlights the figure and her character.
It’s just like eating chocolate every day. After two weeks, its no longer special.
Season four is FOUR times the waterfalls!
I have some bad news for you best there's a season 5 of STD, luckily the last one, and there's five times the waterfalls.
@@georgeray1906What's Discovery?
Overacting. Those outbursts can't possibly all be plot-appropriate.
Is THAT supposed to be a Starfleet captain?
Also, is THAT supposed to be an actor? Also, what idiot director approved of that and kept it in?
Unprofessional both in-universe and out. Repulsive.
Repulsive sums up new star trek perfectly. Have you seen Picard? It is even more gross and on more levels
Bahahahaha!!! I love youtube. And Major Grin, thank you for taking the time to compile this.
... and... action! Disney eyes, do the Disney eyes!
Take a shot every time somebody cries.
She held it in the entire time she was on Vulcan so she could waterfall it here. Don't go chasing waterfalls Mary Sue.
Discovery in a nutshell.
If they could bottle her emotions, they could solve the energy crisis. Emotional instability is a quality expected in every Starfleet officer. Of wait.... no it isn’t.
Apparently the violinists from Titanic ended up on USS Discovery.
It’s not even the crying, it’s the weird monkey noises that she makes when she is in pain or crying. It’s obnoxious out of this world.
Every goddam episode....
I am not going to hit the play button, like, forever. I came here searching for something to comment on. I was so frustrated with STD (!) especially this Burnham character and the woman who plays it, right from the first episode. Then I found that it's this woman who plays it. She's awful and must be thrown into a wormhole never to return. I was praying the whole time, I am Trekkie and have seen 3 or 4 times ALL the Start Trek franchise/episodes including the animated series. Now, the ghost of Gene Roddenberry has answered and that woman was sent where she belongs. And the season ended on a brighter note, I am happy to say. I only hope I will get to watch STD (! again!) without cringing whenever that awful face with more awful dramatic expressions appeared. Now, I think I can get back to watching STD (! okay I guess this time) with popcorn and soda and with a relaxed Trekkie attitude. Somewhere in deep space I can visualize Spock nodding his logical head, positively.
Same here! In my case, I had been watching TWD where Sonequa played Sasha... I thought there was bad writing about her character (like the rest of TWD show) but while watching DIS I started to think that maybe her acting is this way. So frustrating... I watched not every but yes some trek shows many times over and over again, never stoped an episode at the middle because some character made me sick or something but DIS did that, sometimes I hated so much the unnecessary crying that I has to turn tv off :/ lol I think sh*t happens haha
I can't unsee the Vulcan salute between her eyebrows.
The worst character of TV History. And this actress is equaly terrible, by the way.
She isn't a bad actress at all. Great work on Walking Dead. Rather, is very poor writing that exists only to make political points, rather than provide escapist Sci-fi that Star Trek usually excels at
It's hard to believe there are those who say Burnham rarely cries or that characters only occasionally show emotion on this show...but there are. I can only guess that they like the melodrama and are being disingenuous in owning up to the fact.
The most hateful TV character of all time.
Maurício Campos why? Because she's a human who's expressing human emotion? Or because she's a woman? Just say you hate women and leave.
@@noellefritz5678 The character is just bad. As is the entire story.
Noelle Fritz don’t be a baby. Zoe Saldana by contrast is good.
@@noellefritz5678 I´ll tell something about Star Trek: Uhura, Deanna Troi, Doctor Crusher, Tasha Yar, Major Kira, Jadzia Dax, Captain Janeway are great woman/characters, I don´d know you notice it. But they are remarkable, good examples of human beings and leadership. Don´t use your agenda against anyone who thinks different than yourself.
I see not a single tear in most of these.
Wow the effort that goes into those tears.
The force is strong with this one.
Thank goodness i found this video and comments. I have been telling all my Trek friends that this is ridiculous. STOP CRYING !!!! I love the diversity in the casting but ENOUGH with the melodrama and the stupid crying and violins in every freakin episode. Leave the crying to the Hallmark channel PLEASE !!!
"I love the diversity in casting" lol, so you LOVE that they hire people based specifically on their skin color, or because they aren't a certain skin color? You love that racist, Marxist, regressive garbage do you? I don't think you really do, i think that's a virtue signal.
EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED
That's REALLY a hell of a LOT of crying! Who's gonna do the video of the commander whispering her lines? 😅 I still like the series anyway!
😂
To badly cry where no one has cried before...because they were professional grown ass adults!
I was thinking why I always want to skip the bs talking moments in discovery, and why it never happened in TNG.
And I got it, they never talk about how they feel in old traks, the showed it in decision making during episode progression, depending on situation. It was never 5 minute brake with portrait shoot of every crew member talking about how their feel.
In old traks relationships between crew members was something you we're not allowed to see, because they were on duty. That's why to see full episode of Data doing his regular stuff was so exciting, because you kind of get to see some backstage. Same with Riker and Troy, Pickard, Worf etc. They were professionals. Discovery is more like a vessel of a emotionally unstable teens.
I don't want to be the guy who says that everything new sucks. It's more like self analysis of what's so irritating in this show
The way people spoke and conducted themselves in TNG was actually one of the biggest appeals of the show to me. Everyone seemed so emotionally mature, even Worf who -- in spite of his Klingon rage and stubbornness -- would often be able to calm himself and speak openly soon after he got upset. I think the way the crew member conducted themselves so professionally on duty also set up many hilarious moments of a kind very unique to the show.
The writers are writing Grey’s Anatomy in Space, not Star Trek.
What in the name of all unholy is/was this, The Kardashians in Space (opera)? Seriously!
@W D Well, they managed to rip off every single "thing" under the sun, so why not...
The Orville made fun of them, ST:D used them as a template for dramatic effect!
I don't remember a single Cardassian in STD???
@@Wagoo Mate, different subspecies! They were exiled from Cardassian because of their excessive amount of drama. 😉🖖
Saalk Z. A. Are you Vulcan too? This is humans expressing emotion
Grin's vids are the best thing about STD!
Do one with all of Burnham's dull plodding pedantic peptalk.
Michael Burnham the bipolar leader.
Grows up among Vulcans yet cries daily. Illogical.
In Season 3 she cry´s every episode alone in episode 7 nearly 3 times !!! this is so annoying and irritating. Such a sissy as number 1, riker has never cried....
I fart in jars and send them to my boss he thinks It's Jimmy from the tech department
I had to cry a lot too while watching Star Dreck Disappointment...
You’d think a character (even a human one) who grew up on Vulcan would have more emotional control.
Lmaooooo I’ve never seen a single episode of Star Trek period and this is not helping my chances of getting invested 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm surprised her tear ducts are still working even after all the crying for the next 3 seasons.
Space Jesus is so emotional
The evolved humans of the Star Trek universe
So if you take five to six minutes per season and there's going to be five seasons, that means you will almost have an entire episode length of Burnham crying. Such a waste........
As the Pretenders said, "you better stop sobbing oh-oh.... stop stop stop stop stop stop stop sobbing, stop sobbing..." :D
And it continues on season 3. Maybe even worse.
Imagine being part of the crew and your captain is crying all the time about non issues. How can you ever respect her as your superior? Discovery is garbage. 🤦♂️
I A M A C T I N G
LMAO!! Starfleet Academy must have a Participation Award course or something IDK
She fully human but has the experience of vulcans but can’t cry like either or
Tear Trek
Star Trek: Degrassi
The actors in this show deserved better writing!
Crying on demand is the province of really good actors. As is laughter, or... any other display of emotion. Sonequa Martin-Green is a very fine actor. The production’s focus on her weeping is a scripting/directorial/editing miscalculation. This wonderful actress looks a fool because her ability to cry is wielded as a blunt instrument-like an attempt to badger audience expectation in a certain direction. (In the absence of other merit.)
Or, as you say; the actors deserve better writing. (And so does the audience.)
I would complain about the unnatural sound design, cause there should be an audible freaking puddle under her feet from all the tears...
