Fourth episode in and some of the high hopes that I was beginning to feel are already waning. I’m not even sure where to begin, but the more I see of this, the more alienated I am feeling. I know so many have said this, but this just isn’t Trek. This is more like Space Wars Galactica. It’s somber, it’s brutal, the characters are all morose and unlikable, it’s disjointed and flashy and there’s barely anything in it at all that can be associated with what was Trek.
While I like hearing a little of the Klingon language, I’m already sick of having to read their entire dialog. If I wanted to read a TV show, I’d buy the book. Plus, the Klingons don’t even act like Klingons. A coy female Klingon? I don’t think so. Don’t they have universal translators in this time? Couldn’t we be hearing their dialog through one for artistic license and ease of viewing?
Torturing creatures seems to be this crews’ pastime. This is beyond anything that any crew of an Enterprise in any timeline would do. Even in war.
Would it be so difficult to throw in at least one small morsal of something familiar....a crew member of a species we already know, or a prop that can be referenced in one of the other series? Would it be that hard or expensive to do to give Trek lovers something to cling to? Jeez.
And that sappy last-second save of some outpost was pathetic.
The special effects are well done, granted....it's a high-tech ship...I get it. But it shouldn't be better than the script or the characters. Putting glitter on a turd doesn't make for good art.
Ugh! I’m out of thoughts right now. Sigh!
Maybe I just need to see a few more episodes.
