At this point I wondered if I was watching bloody Harry Potter! The whole thing was an utter shambles. There was some contrived space flying sequence that went on for so long and yet was so utterly pointless and boring that I skipped through the whole thing and felt like I missed nothing. Then we have the engineer who is suddenly the most amazing doctor star Fleet has ever seen because as she said "I know how to read books". Excuse me?? I can't repeat enough what an absolute mess this is. I don't know what the hell they are playing at, season 1 was okay, I was hoping they might consider making some improvements. Alas no.

    I had some hope that they would listen to the critics they received for the first season, but sadly no.. Being an avid Star Trek fan this feels like a big joke. I recommend you instead watch the Orville as its much closer to the Star Trek spirit.

    Terrible, science-less fiction, sad attempts at humor, trying to copy Orville.
    Senseless, brainless, soulless, flashing lights driven entertainment for 4 year olds.
    Even worse than season 1. TOS and TNG did better stories on a shoe string budget, every week!
    So sad, its like someone wants to intentionally kill the dream.

    Visually stunning and very well made, but it's moving more towards a fantasy format rather than sci-fi and personally I found it just.. lame. The characters seem unprofessional and under-qualified. The science of the technology seems childish and uninspiring. Shame really.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow. Just WOW.
    TL;DR - The First season was better than this at least in terms of Plot Writing. Character wise S2 is Superior than the First Season, instead of improving both key elements it seems the writers traded one for the other.
    S2 had far more cringe-worthy character dialogue writing and WTF narrative elements and Wait What... story/plot writing than the first. The VFX is still the best they have every been and the characters were a little better this time around but the plot progression and the over arching narrative was degraded to a Saturday morning cartoon show.
    This is, in terms of 'Making Sense by it's own Narrative' farthest from anything Trek-like we have got and fails even more so by it's own internal logical choices and decisions.

    Um What.... ?? What was that ?? I have so many questions and so many things that did not make sense at all. Especially in the last 3 or so episodes.
    Why did the entirety of Discovery crew follow Burnham into the wormhole ?? Was the auto pilot unable to do so ? Why is Burnham able to make multiple jumps but unable to lead the crew of the Discovery back after they neutralized Control ?
    How did Saru's Sister and Kelpians learn to pilot cruisers into Heavy battle situation over a matter of what seems like weeks from barely learning they are not just cattle for culling? How did the Technological Superior Ba’ul submit and let the Kelpian's pilot their cruisers? Were the Kelpian's able to withstand and understand warping when they have never done and or trained to do so?
    Why was the Klingon CHANCELLOR unable to bring more star ships into battle ? How Did Tyler manage to get on-board or for that matter in contact with a Klingon cruiser and L'Rell without the fear of Klingon Backlash of a Lying Chancellor??
    How did Enterprise manage to hold so many shuttles when it was clearly smaller to Discovery as shown by the obvious size difference side by side ? Could they not use the spore Drive and Jump to Federation headquarters to apprise them of the situation and then jump to the fifth red signal location so that Federation Star-ships could join in ?
    Didn't they build the Suit based on Mama Burhnam's Suit which would therefore carry over the tether like aspect of being pulled back ?? If it was possible to have a fully functioning suit without the glitch did it not strike Mama Burhnam to seek someone out and fix the issue of the tether pulling her back repeatedly ? Why did Discovery make the time-jump if they were able to neutralize Control before they did it ?
    Also I do not understand the need to lie to the Federation about what really happened, was there any reason to this other than wanting to wipe them from the original TOS timeline ?

    Where S1 lacked a strong character developments we get those in spades as Capt. Pike and just about everyone else makes up for the bad taste of Lorca's sudden betrayal and Burhnam's one note previously. VFX as expected in 2019 are top notch with everything looking good and believable.
    However the Story suffers this time as a lot of 'Inexplicably Convenient' and or 'Does not make sense but goes by so fast that you cant question It' things keep happening. And they try to swing it by you so fast so that you don't get a moment to question the logic of what they are trying to pull out of their @sses.
    Enterprise should have been left out completely since only Cpt. Pike was a welcome breath of fresh air as I believe Anson Mount nailed the Firm, Stern yet Hopeful and Encouraging Tone of his character. Spock was well adequate as a Vulcan would say; he fails to come off as anything more than just another Vulcan and not rise as Spock.

    All is all it was quite a let down. I would like to see S3 as the characters grew on me, but they really need better and more sensible writing and over arching plot. Also I still have issues with this show being set in the past rather than a far flung future as I would appreciate new characters and new Star-ships rather than relying on the same old same old. A parallel universe was the only way I managed to distance myself into watching the show and not comparing it to the older more grounded, relatively speaking; Star Trek iteration, which the show itself manages to mess up every time they show or reference something from the TOS timeline.    … Expand

At least this season tries to fix some continuity issues that were introduced with Star Trek: Discovery.
    Michael Burnham is still supposed to be the hero of the series, but since she's not the captain of the Discovery, she's not in a position to make the big decisions, yet she has all the answers and rebels without consequence (because she's always right in the end). I don't remember most of the other shallow crew members. The bridge crew is more or less cardboard displays and the plot revolves mostly around Michael Burnham who I do not like as a character. Captain Pike is the only bright spot in this season.
    As for the production, the series is well done. There are annoyingly overused light glares, but the costumes, masks, and visuals are very good at movie level. The Star Trek easter eggs (props) are neat. All in all, I wish they had invested the budget in better scripts, stories, and dialogues.    … Expand

    I quit watching the new Magnum after episode 2 (loved the original), and ST:D doesn't fare much better. Hawaii-5-O at least showed some landscape eye candy from time to time between a retarded plot twist and a nonsense decision by a totally not credible "task force commander"... sigh.

    Season 1 of ST:D was meh, but I still watched it till the end. The spore drive and then the mirror universe somehow managed to maintain drive, but wouldn't have succeeded without Michelle Yeoh. What a graceful beauty at over 50!!
    Can't say the same about "Michael". The hairdo is absolutely hideous, and the acting, especially in season 2, unbearably emotional - I can't imagine how someone like that could have successfully studied on Vulcan? hello?

    Speaking about emotional, somewhere at about the middle of season 2 I started to fast forward many of the Spock-Michael scenes which add nothing to the plot *yawn*. I was there wishing for Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley to come back and free me from boredom.

    Captain Pike seems totally emasculated, not in control of anything, okaying several decisions that are totally unthinkable for a starship captain.

    I could go on and on about what's not "on trek" with ST:D, but I don't want to spend hours writing.

    Overwrought nonsense. Obviously written by committee. They seem to want a moment of deep significance every minute or two. In the end this leaves none of those moments little significance. It needs a moment to breathe. The production values are high and the cast seems capable but the terrible writing holds it back. Also there is constant pandering.

    After a truly underrated first season, Discovery mostly lives down to its haters ire in its second. Filled with distracting callbacks and wildly uneven characterization and plotting, what starts as an ambitious yet very clunky story of mystery and exploration ultimately devolves into a dunderheaded Terminator knockoff.

Conversations are scripted in a strange way, describing what is happening for the benefit of the viewing audience rather than depicting genuine interactions.

Continuity has been abandoned; plot holes and contradictions litter each poorly written episode.

It is sad and more Orwellian than we realise that we have taken such a positive focused idea and in 2018-19 turned it into such mass market drivel that doesn't inspire anyone but in fact asks people to accept this pathetic excuse for a series as a vision of a future.

    It's fun to see the "Discovery" characters, who improved greatly over the course of Season 1, play in the same space as the classic guys. This is a setup the series has proven it can work with: interpersonal relationships (Spock is Burnham's brother, of course) and a multi-episode adventure. And in the season premiere, The new "Discovery" continues to shine, with a more confident atmosphere and even some humor mixed in.
