    Really enjoyed this first half of season 4!
    I'm no die hard Star Trek fan... so I just take it for what it is, a really enjoyable sci-fi show to watch.

    Excellent season. I loathe the judgemental Star Trek nerds out there that can't see past their own expectations of what the show 'should be' instead of judging it on it's own merits.

    The show continues to get better with every season. Characters evolving, storyline progressing, relationships flourishing. It manages to encapsulate everything that is great about Star Trek.

    If you enjoy Star Trek and you have a heart, watch this season. Not to mention the entire series. A worthy addition to the Star Trek family.    … Expand

    Season 4 of Disco continues it's trajectory and lays out an overarching storyline with a lot of little plots sprinkled throughout. This season focuses much more on some emotional exploration of the characters, though the show still maintains its breakneck pace and action focused scenes.

I love the characters, I love the setting, some of the stories are engaging. It's a solid show.… Expand

    Most Trek shows don't fully hit their stride until Seasons 3 or 4, and Discovery is no exception. Now that the new setting has been fully established in Season 3, this new season begins with a sense of confidence and certainty that hasn't existed in the series before now.

Now that the new setting has been fully established in Season 3, this new season begins with a sense of confidence and certainty that hasn't existed in the series before now. The show no longer feels the need to prove it deserves to be Trek and simply knows that it is. The actors know their characters and play to their strengths to provide classic societal allegory for modern times. This season's "big bad" and resultant "popular uprising" due to the increased stress is the perfect story for humanity of 2021. Finally, Star Trek has left behind its dependence on 60s or 90s era Trek nostalgia and crafted its own set of tech and political configurations while maintaining the philosophy and hopefulness that is always at Trek's core. The slower scenes this season between Saru and Michael or Culber and Tilly exemplify the same exploration of humanity and feel as if they could be conversations between Kirk and Spock or McCoy and Kirk. If you let yourself open up to strange new tech and new ideas, you will see this is great Trek, and pretty darn good television.… Expand

    Having seen the whole season now I will say this is the best of the Trek shows since 2017. Season 4 is high concept, personal, and has one of the best 3-episode stretches of its 57-year history at the end of the season. Episode 04x11 "Rosetta Stone" is a revelation.

    With the crew established and the characters beloved, the series is now taking the time to lead boldly not with surprises, but with tremendous amounts of heart.

    Star Trek: Discovery” Season 4 has reached that level of eye-tickling worldbuilding and has done so seamlessly. ... But if depth of character — other than Burnham — is still sorely missing from “Discovery,” at least there’s a lot of dazzle to feast on.

    Episode four suggests this new threat might be an allegory for Earth’s response to covid-19, but more concerning for fans will be how the show handles a beloved character’s growth.
