as a life long, watching fan of most star treks, nothing here appeals to me, even the short trailers or commercials for it, turn me away. why?
Isn't it STAR TREK? Or something else branded to coattail real star trek?
so who is this made for? just any modern audience that doesn't care at all what they watch to fill time? who are this shows fans?
It was essentially star trek for people who hate Star Trek. Pretty much any idiot liberal SJW living in Los Angeles, because almost nobody outside there is watching this crap. I've seen every spin-off of Star Trek except this one, and just the commercials and what I've read about it was enough to keep me away.
There's a story I heard that happened last year or the year before, where CBS allowed the first season to air on mainstream TV, and it did so horribly it was embarrassing. Less than a million people watched, and reruns of "The Masked Singer" did better than this crap show.
I heard about one guy whose mom found out that they were showing this on tv, and insisted on turning it on because she was curious and had never bothered with CBS+ (now Paramount+). Her son warned her not to do it, but she wanted to see for herself. She watched 10 minutes of the pilot before turning it off and saying "This isn't Star Trek!"
CBS has been hiding audience numbers for years, and for a show they wasted millions of dollars on, I'm amazed it's still being made. It's gotten so bad that they had to take it off of Paramount+ and put it free Pluto TV, which doesn't speak well for how deep in the shitter this turd of a show is. I wish they'd pulled the plug on it years ago, rather than let it die a slow, painful death. Of course, pulling the plug on Alex Kurtzman, the man responsible for this dog shit show, would be preferable, but we can't have everything, can we?
lol not watching the show personally was enough for them to write a four-paragraph diatribe about what other people think.
The show's shit but at least one ought to take the time to make that opinion genuine instead of bumming of other people and appeal to mass appeal ratings.
1.) The SJW Crowd who need everyone to be black, brown, gay, undecided, whatever.
2.) People who work in "entertainment" (yeah, in quotes) who need paychecks. The show has been all over the map from the beginning. And it's just because a bunch of people sit around a table every week and ask "Okay, what do we do this week?" and just come up with random stuff for each episode.
That really is the "point" of most shows: Get on one, crank out a bunch of random product, try to level up to a bigger show and a bigger paycheck, rinse and repeat.
Star Trek in all its previous forms never EVER had foul language and humans living in horrible dystopias, until these turds called Discovery and Picard showed up.
I suggest YOU not watch Trek, if you like this new Kurtzman crap!
No f-bombs in older Trek, but they did use profanity. They threw around the term "son of a b*!^$" quite a bit in Enterprise, and McCoy even called Spock that in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. And remember Data's line when the ship was going to crash in Star Trek: Generations.
you mean we CAN'T blame the caveman culture for steering us into a society of violence? we should cancel them and get restitutions from their families now!
This show clearly shows how divided we are AND how fervent people are in their beliefs. These beliefs have been amped up to inconceivable levels by anti-social media.
If you're a fanatic about woke issues like trans, BLM, diversity, etc. then this is the show for you. Combine this show with Facebook, Twitter and it's more like a religious cult than anything else.
