Watched the first two episodes, it felt forced and a bit over the top... especially the first episode.. I wish they did complete episodic shows for this show but instead another single, long story over 10 episodes or so...  meh ... I do think the more episode / monster / etc. of the week approach that they have (mostly) gone back to in Strange New Worlds in much nicer.

Back to Discovery (disco)

Without giving the plot away it looks like a scavenger hunt, dull... and as always, save the universe stuff. ... starting to feel dull...  and long goodbyes and then hellos ... and well... dull...

Production values and sfx all good but  yeah, I liked disco for the seasons it's had, and appreciate all it's done to get more Trek on our screens but so far this final outing just is not gelling with me as yet. I'll watch it as I want to see what happens etc. but am I hanging out for episode 3... no. sadly I'm not :(
