'Star Trek Discovery' at season 2 finale.
General thoughts. Both good and bad.
Discovery-
Makes space seem very real, unlike any other series before it or since. And I find that exciting.
Is full of lux production design, but goes a little too hard on the lens flare aesthetic.
Does the react face montage for WAY too long. We do not need to see the react face of every person on the ship.
Is deeply confused about costuming. But still manages to make all the costumes very cool. Big ups to the person who went for primary coloir sparkle space suits for the pod flight in 'Brother' S02E01. Everything!
Is a little bit too confused about its non humans.
Is quite heavy on the feels. As such it doesn't read like the Star Fleet culture I'm used to. But given this is set in a very action heavy period of the Federation-Klingon War, followed by whatever this is in order to get the ship and crew to what seems like a place they should have been since the first season and never part of the war, I suppose there will be less opera and other personal hobbies. Random singing performances so far are greatly appreciated.
Has a complete lack of chemistry between its lead and her love interest, who also embodied the most convoluted and wasted plot thread of the series.
Has Michelle Yeoh.
Has awesome gay couple!
Has Micheal Brunham monologue far too often.
Will hopefully move well past its Sarek-Spock legitimacy leanings in season 3.
Has Jett Reno. And thank the gods for her.
