Don’t wanna bash on Discovery … but is there notable disengagement around the final season? (lemmy.ml)

I’m personally not watching it (you could call me a bit of a disco “hater” and s4 really kinda bummed me out) … but thought I’d see how people are enjoying it and think about getting a paramount subscription.

Asked some friends and they said they’d stopped watching. Then I checked here and the other community and posts about the episodes just seem to be tepid compared to what I would have expected.

Now obviously I’ve got a bias (and I really don’t want to start kicking the show) … but am I reading this right or wrong?

Lots of good points have already been made in this thread, I’ll just chime in to say I’ve really enjoyed Discovery. It definitely has its problems, and I’m kinda bipolar when it comes to Burnham, sometimes I love her, sometimes I can’t stand her…she never really learns any lessons. But the show is gorgeous and tried to do something a little different. I respect that.

The action sequences and cinematography are better and more exciting than any other Trek I can think of. That sequence in S05E01 where Burnham is blown out into space, has a suit materialize on her, jetpacks towards Discovery and then transports through the viewscreen directly into her captain’s chair was BAD ASS.

I just wish the show was released in 4K HDR. Seems like a waste of beautiful visuals.
