Star Trek: Discovery: Such Sweet Sorrow (2019)
Season 2, Episode 13
4/10
Teary goodbyes and pathetic speeches.
12 April 2019
How often did Burnham cry or have some kind of dramatic outburst? How often did she and Tyler had melodramatic last second we-will-never-ever-see-each-other-again kiss scenes?

It is repetetive, blunt, annoying, forced.

Her step-parents beam by, obviously faster than a lunatic Killer-AI ever could, to prolong the drama and rack up the goodbyes. Sure, half an hour until the T1000-Section-31-Captain and his armada turn up is plenty. Also obviously Sarek could not have called/brought anyone for help. Sure, sure.

Why exactly does the bridge crew - completeley unnecessarily - join Burnham on her mission without return (after saying goodbye for half an hour)? Because they are friends?? Do they want to live in the future??

I kept writing reviews in hopes to be a pebble in the ocean to turn the tides for this show.

Are there good salvageable parts of this show? Sure, but what good are pieces of chocolate if they are smeared with poop?

I can no longer care for this space soap BS. It is not Star Trek and it certainly is not good.
