Adam Dalliance<p>Watched the last season of StarTrek Discovery, in which the crew race against a couple of renegades to solve clues that lead them to technology left by the ancients that spread life around the galaxy.</p><p>Ridiculous.</p><p>I quite liked the renegade characters, star crossed lovers fighting two empires to survive. And the crew of Discovery include some decent character with nice arcs.</p><p>The idea that Next Gen era scientists left clues that future people would follow 800 years later is like something out of a game rather than a drama though. Makes no sense. Those guys should have done what burnham does and burn it instead of hiding it for more peaceful times.</p><p>And those last 20 minutes of happily ever after wrap up was terrible. Sentimental schmaltzy bullshit. Certainly should have cut that, showing aged characters in retirement and the last mission to just abandon the ship. Nope. Would have all been better without any of that.</p><p>Farewell then Discovery. You started before Kirk and ended a thousand years latter. I enjoyed most of it, and it was better than Archer's Enterprise, but a long way from the best of trek.</p><p><a href="https://boing.world/tags/watching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watching</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/tv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tv</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/starTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>starTrek</span></a> <a href="https://boing.world/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discovery</span></a></p>
