It’s amazing to read these comments. It’s almost like we aren’t even watching the same show.

Thanks for the recap. Enjoyed visiting the story again

Thanks for the recap, it's been so long between seasons I was lost. Very helpful

[Jayjay-qeum]

It might not be the best Star Trek show, but I'll be forever grateful for Star Trek: Discovery for bringing Star Trek back to the television.

[prodeous]

I honestly forgot this show is still going.. but do apricate the recap, saved me a lot of time watching the show. And the recap reaffirmed why i stopped watching it.
I do love Lower Decks, Prodigy and Strange New Worlds though, so at least some good Trek did come out.

Thanks for the recap, so I don't have to re-watch this mess to prepare for the mess that will certainly be season 5.

It's sad that Discovery takes place in the 31 First century and never once has any writer or director ever cover the temporal cold wars.

[captainarcher]

The Only cool stuff about Discovery was season 1 and 2 involving Captain Lorca. The Mirror Universe is fantastic. I like how the show depicts how evil humankind is/and can be. How terrifying, empty, and dark it is in that world. And I like how they didn't candy coat violence in Star Trek. It's a reality that is much needed in any star Trek show. To give the fan's a feeling of reality in space, in the future.

Saru is all who kept me from not watching the show. Even after how lackluster the last couple of seasons have been.

[ZixxTheLegend]

I love s1 and I love s2 but omg 3 and now I tried to watch s4 but couldn't pass the first episode. Gonna watch it on you tube. It's really shit :/

What I dislike the most about Discovery is that nothing has consequences. The stakes are pumped up to 500% danger level but in the end no one dies and nothing bad actually happens. Burnham knows it all, does to all and is basically a flawless superhero. In the end she’s always right, there’s no learning process and hence no real character development. I don’t like the slow, dragged-out plot, which could have easily been accompanied by some fun B and C storylines to make the episodes feel fuller and to finally flesh out the bridge crew.
But no, everything is about Burnham and the main plot. The second they announced the DMA was on its way to Earth I predicted nothing bad would happen. In the finale we get 2 cop-out deaths and a quick resolution to the spore drive being broken. If Book and the Earth general had actually died, discovery was actually stranded and Earth had been badly damaged, this season would have been way better for me. Now it was a slow, predictable and boring soapy mess with a way too sappy ending.

Other than the awful Tilly episode, I couldn't remember most of this season. (Good idea, character I like, bad execution.) Otherwise, season 4 was the Motion Picture Extended Extended Extended EXTENDED Edition. Could have been condensed into an interesting two parter. Instead, it's watered down into ten fluff filled episodes.

It's really unfortunate I feel this way. I feel zero attachment to this crew. When Lower Decks killed Shax, I felt something. When they do their season finalé montage of moments/characters, I know I will feel empty.

If you like discovery, that's great! It's nice to enjoy things.

3x1 is the only episode that made it seem like discovery was turning a corner. Sadly, it was because it wasn't The Michael Burnham Show.

I'll be watching season 5 out of obligation, and to avoid spoilers. Rather than any sense of excitement.

[dannyrod]

no opinion on how you think season 4 went?

[ObiDonKenobi]

Discovery is great. Kick rocks if you disagree lol

[ZixxTheLegend]

I couldn't even watch it on you tune f this lol

[vernabender]

I liked discovery and can't wait for season 5. I wish their would be more seasons

[AdairCorbin]

Is this just the wikepedia episode summaries read aloud word for word?

[mattblaze]

Absolutely wonderful writing and acting. Can't get enough of it it's unfortunate they canceled. I will watch the 5th season with a fine tooth comb and enjoy with all of my heart

[EmptyPocketsCarl]

Ugh….. maybe time to start a painting project so I can just watch it dry. Far more entertaining than this garbage.

[rickbase]

Burnham will go down as one of the worst Starfleet Captains of all time. The problem with STD is Burnham was introduced as a criminal....nevermind all the dumb things the production staff did with a prequel to TOS....as in nothing looked correct.
Trek is also old.
Not seeing season 5. Would rather see Enterprise season 4 again.

To the SNW team....please get better in Season 3 keep Kirk out of the show. He is poorly wedged in and the actor does not give of any real Kirk vibes. Chris Pine made that role his by not emulating The Shat but he did give subtle nods to Shat.
