GFR? Nope

Meh, Season 3 has only had one bad episode so far.

I don't think the problem is that the show focuses on characters, so much as that its characters at this point seem to have a collective mental age of twelve and are often emotionally overwrought and wind up bluntly voicing their feelings and moods to each other and to the viewer, same as in Discovery.

There's a modern school of writing that suggests that to "write characters", you must write emotionally volatile people who are seen to be dramatically changed by events and are in constant states of psychological, romantic, and ideological flux. The idea that you could write about people with reasonably stable personalities and worldviews who are able to integrate new experiences well is almost sneered at by some writers today.

The season premiere remains the worst of the first eight for me. The Gorn/Batel episode just fell short for me.

This is the "Let it all hang out" generation.
