The Emerald Chain is the best name for a villain species in all of Star Trek. They should have been the big bad in a continuing arc through every series of stand alone stories - with the Federation taking time over series to come to understand them and work out what to do with them

Too much focus on Burnham every single episode Not enough development of other characters. Which is why Rayner became popular in just a few episodes Glad I don’t have to listen to Burnham whispering every single word of dialogue Book, never understood him. Had more character development than the...

I’d watch a series with Rayner in the chair

And the USS Hikaru Sulu

Well said. I’m just watching it for the old characters doing their stuff. Riker is great, and having Data back is a real treat. I’m clearly very easily pleased! Which is partly just a function of getting older. I mean, I even liked the Rise of Skywalker. Who cares about the plot holes and Mary...

Yeah fair enough. They certainly did strung out parts of it. And lots of standing around with Picard and Crusher looking at each other, rather than real tension

Agreed. It’s the same reason I don’t like mirror universe shit. It’s like ooh let’s see what we can do with these characters just for fun!

Exactly. There are a lot of posts on here about plot holes and lack of logic and “seems forced”. Of course it’s fn forced, it’s got an hour to advance the plot and show as much fan service as it can. It takes shortcuts to do that because it has to and it doesn’t really matter, it’s just a love...

Well, I know next to nothing about all the back story, canon and integral Star Trek ideas that most of you discuss - so I’m just enjoying the show :) It’s much better than Discovery and 100x better than Picard. Just an interesting bunch of characters with some Star Trek-y stories and cool...

The only time I ever skipped a uni lecture (I was working at the time and couldn’t afford the time to catch up) was to see The Empire Strikes Back as soon as it came out Ah the good times

Agreed. I thought Boba was very poor

Totally agree Other things for me - don’t know what to do with Soji from season 1, even though she’s special and has special powers and has to be protected, so in episode one we just send her off to do something, but then have the actress play someone completely different, in a storyline which...

No worries man, like I’ve said I got bored with this episode and watched it in parts, so the idea that this was the Queen getting inside Alice’s head and making her do things, like someone else explained earlier, it escaped me. I don’t consume a lot of sci fi, I don’t watch everything or read...

I think it was meant to be part of the distraction so Picard can get away - lights go out, she starts singing and everyone is watching her Logical I guess but…….

And even the filler had filler - the constant shots of Picard injured followed by “27 minutes ago..” Meant to raise the tension I guess but after the first two I’m like, I get it, he gets injured. Am I worried he’s going to die? No, he’s the title character and besides we’ve just seen the...

It is simple to not watch it, but the thing is we like Star Trek, we want to like it so we keep watching in the hope it will get better

Yep looks like a scene from the TNG holodeck, and oh look, one of them belting out a show tune. Yawn

Sounds like I’m the only one finding this season tedious I’ve stopped and started this episode and still not through it Didn’t know what to with Dhaj so we made her Kore. Elnor is the action superhero from season 1, don’t know what to do with him, kill him off temporarily. Get Brent Spiner...

So Rios let’s the doctor keep his comm badge with basically no resistance, instead of insisting that he be able to have it back? Give me a break

I think this might be like Saru in season 1 being able to sense the onset of death - a quirky little character trait that soon gets ditched because they’ve got no idea what to do with it/it’s unsustainable in a regular episode
