Same. I found Season 1 of Discovery quite entertaining (for what it was - a reboot of the TOS era) and at least some of Season 2. But then it turned more and more into Burnham saves the Galaxy and the (constantly hugging and crying) crew of Discoverys lets her get away with everything.
At least the first two episodes (which he co-wrote with Goldsman and Monfette).
Terry's task was to "help" Goldsman with Season 2. He was not the boss. That changed in season 3 where he even directed the last two episodes and oversaw the entire post production.
In an interview with trekmovie.com he said that he left season 2 after the early episodes to fully concentrate on season 3. He also said that he wanted to tell a more ambitious time travel story (which is his thing) but the other writers objected. He was clearly not in charge of season 2. The...
It closed decades old chapters (the Borg and Picard's familiy situation) and gave the TNG crew the send-off they deserved - the final (10 hour) TNG movie. That was the mission for this season - nothing more, nothing less. And I think it succeeded.
It also setup a potential spinoff that can tell...
The probe is basically an allegory for human-made climate change/natural desasters.
That's correct. It's always about the characters. But the character arcs should be connected to the plot in a logical and satisfying way. I don't think that was the case in Season 2 (multiple characters and...
It was never supposed to be part of season 3 that's why it should have been resolved in Season 2. I guess time and budget didn't allow for more. The same reason why we got a copy-and-paste-fleet in Season 1.
Was season 3 a mystery box? What mysteries remain unsolved? After Episode 9 everything was resolved and explained.
Season 2 on the other hand had a giant mystery box...the anomaly/transwarp conduit. We still don't know what it is and what its purpose was. It was just a tool to get people...
And that's the important part. They did not just resurrect Data, they turned him into a (synthetic) human. So he can finally be the person he always wanted to be.
Data looks so good in Season 3! Older, yes...but much more accurate than the de-aged version from Season 1. Even his hairline is perfect (it's a grey hairpiece, his real hair is thinner). :-)
I agree. It was not supposed to reinvent Star Trek or to deal with new philosphical problems. It's the 5th TNG movie that gave Picard and his former crew the final send-off. And even the Enterprise D got a final send-off that we never expected.
Is it? A lot of people can probably connect to the family theme of this season. The Rikers dealing with the loss of their son, Picard finding out that he is a father, Jack looking for connection...
When Jack said to Seven: "Stars in the same galaxy but lighyears between us." I felt a genuine...
I think watching it as a whole will make it more enjoyable.
This is the final mission of the TNG crew. I didn't expect it to be groundbreakingly new SciFi. It just had to give the TNG crew the emotional send-off they deserved. And I think they accomplished that.
But I think the season would...
Maybe it was mentioned before but why is Crusher called Admiral when she is clearly just a Commodore?
Maybe for the same reason I am called "The Commander" although I'm still a Lieutenant. :-P
