Star Trek: Discovery: Jinaal (2024)
Season 5, Episode 3
3/10
Worse Star Trek ever seen
26 April 2024
I'm already tired of this soap opera. I feel like I'm not watching Star Trek anymore but a mix of a cheap Venezuelan soap opera, a propaganda program, and colorful suds. There is no Star Trek here anymore. Each episode is increasingly soaked in exaggerated emotions; it's like group therapy for aging 40-year-old virgins. A captain who must keep her cool and think logically, on which the fate of her subordinates depends, breaks down every five minutes and cries like a child in literally every episode. Especially since she's supposedly half Vulcan. It's getting worse from episode to episode. The characters are also becoming more transparent, each one the same representing the same extreme values. Scientifically, it's also becoming complete nonsense.

It's unclear whether this is the United Federation of Planets and we are dealing with serious people, or a tolerant kindergarten where everyone blows on everyone else and everything has to be fine. Everyone is so nice and polite that I just want to walk up to the TV and hit someone. Maybe they'll finally show some guts.

The first two seasons were cool, then they handed the series over to a housewives' circle. I don't know if I'll make it to the end. The last two seasons aren't fit to shine the shoes of The Next Generation or any other Star Trek, even Enterprise.
