Star Trek Discovery (or STD-Trek) Bears No Resemblance to Star Trek

I've watched all but the most recent episode of Star Trek Discovery, which is more than any human being should have to bear (how ironic that it shortens to "STD" because it feels like you're suffering from one every time you watch this stupid show).

I don't think it's even about politics directly, though of course the pushing of leftist ideology is at fault fundamentally. It's just that to the average person who's spent their whole life watching Star Trek, STDTrek doesn't feel even a little bit like Star Trek. It has dialogue that is completely wooden and artificial, terrible acting, a Starfleet that seems to have no redeeming qualities, incompetent crew, characters constantly bickering and even betraying each other... in short, they compare it to whichever past Trek was their favorite and find no resemblance.




I said it before already: the main advantage that The Orville has over STD is that the Orville is set in the Star Trek universe, and STD clearly isn't.

    Even with very little prior experience with Star Trek and zero issues with leftism, I found this show very boring and didn't make it to episode 2.

    The only good thing about STD is it makes Voyager and Enterprise look good by comparison.

    I suspect it has been renewed for a second season (to air sometime in the distant future, maybe) simply as a face-saving measure by CBS.

    "It has dialogue that is completely wooden and artificial, terrible acting, a Starfleet that seems to have no redeeming qualities, incompetent crew, characters constantly bickering and even betraying each other... "

    Sounds like it's set in the universe of the Battlestar Galactica remake. "SJW-SyFy" universe I guess.

      That's what I was thinking too, Star Trek in Battlestar Galactica style.

    I don't have much to compare, only saw 20 minutes of STD last night because I was going to wait until DVD, then everyone kept talking about STD, and I realized I couldn't wait.

    But I will say that The Orville is good and familiar while also seeming fresh. Still a little sad it's nothing like Space Balls, though.

    I'll have to agree not very Federation and Starfleety behavior.
    I like it, but not for any Star Trek qualities.
    The Oreville feels more on the lines of Next Generation era, and I like it, it has that odd space humor too.

    I don't know why but some of STDTrek (the name is horrible, I'm sure no one thought that through) reminds me of LEXX.

    STDics/StarTrekD/or anything else but STDTrek.

    They made it difficult to find/watch. I got the hint.

    I assume they knew no one wanted this show or else it would be on a real TV channel.
