    Season five was written without propery continuity.

    The show had amazing actors, beautiful graphics, and bad story writing.

    All the damage from season four is ignored, except Book’s romance.

    There were entire sectors of space that are voids because of the last season.

    If they were to use the power, they could rebuild kweijan and all of the damage to planets and creatures in season four.

      The DMA destroyed one station, one populated planet, and one colony that was evacuated before it struck. A sector is 20 LY across.

      If they were to use the power, they could rebuild kweijan and all of the damage to planets and creatures in season four.

      The finale established that the technology could reanimate a dead body, but couldn’t restore minds or personalities. There’s also no indication that it could build a planet or reanimate bodies that were crushed in an artificial singularity.

    the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.

    Yeah, it’s not “underappreciated”. It’s just not very good for what many of us are expecting. I still haven’t gotten through season 3.

      Yeah its just not a good show.

      I just watched a scene where Michael and Mol were working together, then suddenly Michael decides to attack Mol, then they have a kung fu fight and finally Michael asks Mol stop and says she needs to trust her, as if Michael hadn’t just violently assaulted her. The writing is nonsensical.

      Unfortunately that is symptomatic of the show as a whole and just one of many problems.

      Also the constant deus ex machina, with the characters having a conversations where everyone finishes each others sentences. Its tiresome to watch. I really wanted to like the show but never could.
