Star Trek Discovery

[Drunk Monk]

S1:E15 season finale. It came around in the end. Most all of the story arcs were resolved and medals were awarded, with wiggle room for S2, just like Star Wars. ST: DISCO is more space opera than most orb the other series, clinging to sci-fi metaphors by its telluite tusks, with ample Easter eggs for the sharp-eyed stalwart trekker (the fried ceti eel in the Klingon open market was a cute touch). It makes some big jumps from the franchise, some are reasonable updates, others are twists for today’s audience. About halfway thru it hits warp speed. Despite its dalliances, it returns to that federation philosophy with an almost Kirk-Ian speech. I enjoyed it but would only recommend it to dedicated trekkers, which DOOM is not clearly or others here would’ve watched. The season 2 tease was short but good. I hope it lives long and prospers.
