Agreed, they are above and beyond talented, and so brave and inspirational for coming out as non-binary irl, it helped me do the same.

Length and pacing are less concerning for me at least when I care about the characters.
DSC still gets top marks from me.

Blu Del Barrio. Bad bad acting. Just wondering is that person ok in real life
what's that supposed to mean?
Most def. Disco and her crew have my heart.
At this point, Zora might be my favourite character.
Jett Reno is criminally underused.
I miss Lorca and Georgiou. And Tilly.
Oh, and I wanted Kovich to be some evil Section 31 guy. (I didn't realize he's played by David Cronenberg!)
Is this show the most emo Trek we have?
I still hate the whispered dialogue. Terrible acting choices.

I'm not sure "emo" is quite the word you're looking for. If this show were "emo" the characters would all be depressed and apathetic, while dressed in all black. That doesn't appear to be the show I'm watching.
That pretty much makes the entire world emo. Hell, by that standard, most Vulcans are emo.
Well my opinion is that Blu Del Barrio and Ian Alexander are under avrage actors/actresses for Star Trek Franchise, really bad acting. Maybe I'm spoiled bcs I grew up on actors that embodied characters like Data, Picard, Riker, Worf, Bashir, Garak, Dukat, Damar, Sisko, Quark, Q, Tuvok, B'Ellana, Paris, O'Brien etc etc. After that this is really bad. But for Z generation that have never watched old Star Trek this might be amazing and respect and understand. But not for me.
Just how old do you think the people watching current Trek are? @Roald who mentioned he thinks their acting is fine has been a member here since1999, so I'm thinking he isn't Gen Z
Are you trying to be offensive? The term "actress" applies only to female performers. Blu del Barrio is non binary and Ian Alexander is male. Neither of them are actresses.
There are certain members of the 90s Star Trek cast that you mention that I wouldn’t call great. Michael Dorn, for instance? Meh. But that’s just me, I suppose. I also am 42 years old and grew up with them. I do think Ian Alexander isn’t the greatest actor out there but he is acceptable. Blu Del Barrio, on the other hand, holds their own quite well. Again, just my opinion.
True, I’m a long time fan..! Even though I do feel Ian’s acting is ‘just fine’, Blu is brilliant. It is an acting style that is very opposite of what we were used to in TNG. It’s raw, unpolished, and leaves room for very human traits. I see so much of myself in them. Dwight Shultz and Mary Wiseman could do it too, I love it. All of this is very deliberate. It may be a matter of taste. Even though the hard criticism of Ian’s and Blu’s acting probably has little to do with their acting, which is kind of sad in itself in a forum of ST fans…..
As has always been the case with this show, the performances are fine, it's the writing that is subpar. Adira particularly this year is just filling in the role of young and awkward that was left vacant when Tilly left.
