It is everything that Star Trek was never meant to be. It focuses on violence, dystopian themes, secret organizations, sex, war, yellow-journalism, distrust, capitalism, inter-personal drama, and every other lazy story telling element that a show can choose to utilize. They ruined entire characters by making them Han Solo, or by making them behave in ways opposite of what was established in former shows. They reduced the Federation to a cheap, poorly scripted reflection of today's society. Its overall quality and story-telling seems aimed at angsty teens, which is reflected in its lack of depth and meaning and focus on interpersonal-drama. Gone are the high-minded ideals and quality story telling of former shows. Instead we get something puked out and barely watchable unless you are in the mood for cheap action scifi. It isn't as bad as STD, but it is close.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first two seasons of the series a cruel WOKE disaster, just bad. Now for the third season. The old characters are now supposed to save the first bad seasons, everything is fine, it starts well, but then the woke character of the first seasons creeps into the series again and again. Insidiously, not so obvious anymore, but first the naïve viewer should be hijacked, then at the end, boom, it really becomes 100% woke. Unfortunately, another season messed up, starts well, has good approaches, but is gradually pushed back into the political woke agenda in the course of the individual episodes, not quite as brutal as in the first seasons, but this time gently and slowly. Like a live frog in water in a pot on the stove. In the beginning, the frog (The Spectator) is in the lukewarm water (the series), then the water is slowly but steadily heated until it boils, killing the frog. The frog (the spectator) notices too late, but then it's already happened! How stupid do the producers think we are! It was probably worth the try, but not with us!… Expand

It started out quite promising but much like the first season, it's devolved into absolute trash.
This is the last time. They draw me in with promises and then take gradually change the ratio from mostly good to mostly garbage. Sickening.

Despite the exciting reunion of the cast from “The Next Generation”, and despite their senseless shilling and sellout support of this product, the final season of “Star Trek: Picard” finds Alex Kurtzman continuing to defile this IntellectualDespite the exciting reunion of the cast from “The Next Generation”, and despite their senseless shilling and sellout support of this product, the final season of “Star Trek: Picard” finds Alex Kurtzman continuing to defile this Intellectual Property classic. The Next Generation veterans have tried to defend the script, stating that what you’ll witness in these last episodes is character growth and development, but the simple truth is that Kurtzman gives absolutely no attention, care or concern to Gene Roddenberry’s deep narratives, wonderous settings or heroic individuals; they are all upended, without a second thought, and replaced willy-nilly with superficial references to other sagas in the genre, such as Star Wars, Aliens and Blade Runner.
How such thoughtless and spiritless management has risen to power in Hollywood is anyone’s guess, but the horrifying result is a massive plundering of childhood heroes and the stories which inspired an entire generation. Under this new regime, the identity of Star Trek is lost, and its name now only serves as a large, neon advertisement to draw unwitting customers to a capitalist slaughter. It is absolutely no coincidence that THE Sci-Fi brand with the most hope for humanity has been brought low by exactly those people who have no faith in mankind at all. Kurtzman has no right to reimagine Star Trek in his own image, because it lives and breathes in the hearts of its fans. His utter disregard for their position has doomed the franchise, and CBS finds itself picking scraps off the dining room floor as what was once a fiction behemoth is now in the final throes of death.… Expand

Stewart mentioned BREXIT as an inspiration for his return toPicard in name only. Sir Patrick Stewart brings his fantastic acting abilities to bear but that only heightens the dissonance with the disastrous writing and one note characters.

Stewart mentioned BREXIT as an inspiration for his return to the character that made him famous but this bloody, indulgent show does nothing insightful or clever with the premise. New Trek already killed off Roddenberry's optimistic vision of a humanity that became better but the misuse of a legacy character dances on that grave. Old Trek writers could have added something to the public discussion, approaching sensitive issues from a new angle possible only through sci-fi, but this bomb relies on nostalgic call-backs, brutal violence, and flashy special effects to really say nothing at all. What's the point? The only take-away I had is that Executive Producer Sir Patrick Stewart really never understood Star Trek after all. A disappointment after listening to him speak meaningfully on the topic at conventions.… Expand

As usual Agnes is a one trick pony: a trojan horse for the plot.
What the hell is the point of Rafi? She is stupid, emotional, immoral, just awful.
Picard himself... Man, what a tragedy. This character has been neutered and lobotomised to bring him in line with the production staff.
Q has been obliterated by these idiots. His personality and Picard's have been swapped to a degree. He has no sense of humour, no fun, only anger and sad. Pathetic. And he's been dying before and didn't behave like this, so that's no excuse. This is such garbage. The entirety of the writing is cringe and awful. All of it could be in an ad for a pyramid scheme: it's just ethereal music and slow talking while making no sense.

This show exists as a king of welfare for awful production staff with specific politics. Nobody making this show is good at it. This is the TV equivalent of an asset swap. Genuine 0, truly garbage.… Expand

You have great actors, good ideas and very good production value. But they waste all this potential on cheap thrills, horrible values, extreme virtue signaling and mistakes in the storylines. Season two especially became so inane. They don't even pay off any of their own set-ups. It's so frustrating because I enjoyed the first half of both seasons, and then the conclusions of the storylines make no sense. They should not hire actors to have creative control over the stories, actors who have not watched Star Trek (and nor should they necessarily, they can be directed by people who know more). It's so disappointing and infuriating because there is so much potential here. It's modern Cynicism in a serialized form.… Expand

Old Star Trek rewarded you for thinking critically. This show punishes you. The plot is nonsensical. The script is tacky--not in the campy TOS way, but more in the low-budget Sci-Fi Channel show from the mid-00s kind of way. This series is about poorly executed action, sappy emotional exchanges between characters, and trying to get the audience to say "hey I recognize that person from a different show!" In other words, the laziest kind of screenwriting.
I won't even fault Picard for not being like "old Trek." The franchise should evolve and change over time? Fine. No issues with that. But there's a lot of good TV out there right now, and this show is not anywhere near the same level as some of the other stuff you could be spending your time watching. But ultimately, you will watch. Why? Because Patrick Stewart is playing a guy that's ostensibly Jean-Luc Picard and you have no choice. Is this a better way for the character to go out than getting crushed by a catwalk? You decide.… Expand

There is no larger intention or meaning that connects this chaotic stream of consciousness. Its only purpose is the impulsive creation and satisfaction of lesser urges from moment to moment.

Just like a twitter timeline, this show is designed to be consumed an attention window of a few seconds. Otherwise, its lack of narrative structure becomes apparent and everything unravels. The show starts 25 different plots, all of them ridiculous and badly written, all of them full of faux emotion and faux meaning, and none of them conclude in any meaningful way, if they conclude at all.… Expand

I've been taking notes on directors, writers, and actors over the years who take part in these social engineering / indoctrination productions. Everyone involved in this show is now added to my growing blacklist. Meaning, I will never watch anything with them in it ever again.

All tv shows, and movies are now being pre examined before I spend any time on them. I will be looking at cast members, reviews, and plots. One sniff of woke from people's opinions, and I will not watch it.

If it's rebooted, gender swapped, woke, feminist, racial swapped, pro woman / anti man, BLM supporting, anti LEO, anti American, pro communist, pro marxist, racist against white people, or any other form of this far left brainwashing count me out. I refuse to be bludgeoned by this S***. I will not be subjected to Hollywood's thought camp ever again. I strongly encourage all of you to stand very firm against this pernicious social cancer by doing your homework before you expose yourself, or anyone else for that matter to Hollywood's political agenda.

It is a piss poor copy ofSeason 1's writing was atrocious but I was willing to give them a pass because they were finding their footing. Season 2 makes season 1 look like fine literature. Four episodes in and this season is a trainwreck.

It is a piss poor copy of every "Mirror, Mirror" episode and a rehash of every 'fix the broken timeline' plotline they've used since Star Trek 4 hit theaters. There's zero originality in this effort and it shows. Instead, they use the series as a way to bludgeon the viewer with hyper-woke nonsense. In the third episode they hammer the audience over the head with their typical leftist ideologies regarding: Anti-capitalism, LGBTQ (lesbianism, specifically), illegal immigration and a typical 'ACAB' portrayal of law enforcement, homelessness, and climate change. In the first twenty minutes of the fourth episode, they invoke Nazism as a reference, repeat the anti-police message, double down with anti-American sentiment ('They make you pledge allegiance?'), and use Guinan to push BLM.

Due respect to Sir Patrick Stewart's body of work, his age is a problem. He's not acting so much as he's mumbling his lines and shuffling around the set. This show is trash. A woke leftists wet dream pretending to be Star Trek. It should be retired for good.… Expand

A1: Cause men were attracted to her. They have to ruin everything men enjoy in order to tear men down in society.

Q2: Wanna know why they made Picard emasculated, and gay?

A2: To piss the straight men off who looked up to Picard as a father figure.

This is the worst tv show I have ever seen. My gf wanted to watch this when she first heard about it before season 1. I knew it was going to be woke lecture trash. I was right.

Hollywoke is infested with this crap. Everything being produced out of Hollywoke these days is all following this same agenda platform. Women are STRONG, Men are WEAK, and that this is what progressive / inclusive equality looks like.

NOT... this is offensive like a backed up toilet. It's all over Picard. They're killing off all the male characters of the TNG legacy. Picard is a former ghost of himself. He's dead too.. don't you realize? He's just a senile apparition who follows the women around, and takes the verbal abuse like a beta cuc. We can't have a strong male character on TV these days. We gotta cut his bawls off, emancipate him, and tell him the future is female. KNOW YOUR PLACE YOU DISGUSTING PIG OF A MAN!

This show doesn't even try to hide the blatant politics. Men bad, women good. Women are super heroes, and the men must be destroyed at all costs. Send in the empowered feminists to save the day. I don't know about you, but turn this crap off, and tell all your trekkie friends that's it's woke garbage.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I will no longer watch ANYTHING Hollywoke has produced past 2010, and anything they will produce in the future. I'm officially boycotting that cesspit of diarrhea. I hate everything Hollywoke stands for. EVERYTHING. Time to cancel Hollywoke, and put this beast down.

DO NOT ENGAGE
DO NOT BEAM UP
DO TURN IT OFF… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried to give Picard a good chance. I really did. But after watching the 1st season (twice) and 3 episodes of the 2nd season, I can confirm this show is absolute garbage. Firstly, it is woke trash, it tries so hard to spew blatantly political talking points and in a very ham-fisted and obnoxious way.

Picard is not picard, and this show is not Star Trek. All the crew members talk down to Picard with disrespect as if he is a child. The show intentionally forces feminist female and lesbian characters down the audiences throat - females who exhibit no signs of true femininity or grace, but instead females who exhibit the most obnoxious, bone-headed and gruntish masculine traits. The show writes the women as arrogant, rude, crass, annoying, masculine men, while simultaneously attempting to bash the actual men. It really is so forced and ridiculous in a laughable way.

All the characters whine and complain, show zero competence or excellence in their positions. They run around complaining like children about their emotional baggage from childhood while they are supposed to be saving their crew-mates or the entire galaxy. The writers clearly think their target audience are all emotionally unstable victims of trauma. It overtly tries to paint straight white males as evil or bad, while trying to paint obnoxious, arrogant lesbian females as virtuous saints that we should try to be like. There are no good role models in this show, just angry, crass, rude, emotionally unstable children.

The writers and creators of Picard cannot create anything good or new, they can only ruin and destroy the good things that good people created before them.… Expand

I grit my teeth through the first season only to end up at the beginning of season 2 and realize that it's just not worth it. StarTrek was always an expression of optimism about the future and what it can hold but the series also made a point of showing that you should take a step back and figure out the best way to achieve your desired result. In this case I think the best way to move forward is to just sit back and wait for it to be canceled and transferred into the hands of someone who has some semblance of respect for what the franchise is, because this, this Hannibal Lecter wearing the face of the original is just disturbing… Expand

I wonder why Patrick Stewart agreed to be a part of this; does he owe money to someone? Is he going bankrupt or something? I really hope that they sell the entire star trek and star wars franchise to Favreau and people who made Mandalorian.

That said, everything else about this series was freaking terrible, the writing was awful the characters felt unreal in a bad way, and everything was an action scen. It's like the writers didn't know how to just write people in an extraordinary circumstance, everything had to be grandiose showy flashes of explosions and Michael Bay physics, vice you know, some of that, but mainly people wanted what they had before with Next Gen, maybe bumped up to the next notch but the way Picard was handled, both the character and the series itself is disrespectful, obnoxious, and feels like instead of expanding your mind and looking towards the future or at least a idealistic future, you just kind of see everyone and everything as dark, depressing, warped, and unlikable. I really wanted to like this show, but it was just absolutely horrible, and the way the writers wrote Picard himself and the way people approach him in show is distasteful and rude. I didn't like this show at all On a side note, I love how the ridiculous metacritic reviewers, the sanctioned, "official" ones give this sjo a 70+% rating and TNG arguably the best Star Trek made, the one that spawned both Deep Space 9 and Voyager a 40%.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Picard was supposed to be a love letter to fans of The Next Generation. In reality it is a massive slap in the face to those fans and fans of Voyager. Every established character is ruined by the worst writing in Star Trek history. Icheb is brutally murdered, 7 of 9 is turned into some kind of mercinary, Bruce Maddox is brutally murdered in cold blood and even Picard himself can't escape the wrath of Alex Kurtzman's desire to distance modern Trek from old Trek and is killed of then turned into an android.

Even the Federation is portrayed as a self serving xenophobic organisation. Which is something of theme in the Kurtzman era. The whole "story" revolves around Picard tracking down an android that houses Data's memories. Which is exactly as preposterous as it sounds. If you are a Star Trek fan avoid this at all costs.… Expand

Like Star Trek: Discovery, this show introduces a darker Federation and Star Trek universe with fantasy elements and this time space elves. Most of the characters are broken and hard to like, except for Rios. The writing is mostly soap opera level. This show really negates any personal development that Picard and Seven of Nine have made in previous shows. At least there are some nice guest appearances.… Expand

I love the idea that Star Trek puts forward. A future where humanity has or is striving to rise above our negative traits. Where there is no more currency and Earth is basically a paradise. Humanity is for the most part seeking to work together with all alien races for the betterment of all. This show is not at all that vision. This is Star Trek twisted into a GOT wannabe. The dialogue is stilted and character actions unbelievable. A character kills her husband and 20 minutes later everyone forgets and it is never thought about again. There are little glimpses of greatness especially when they bring back characters from TNG for a short cameo. But overall this is a terrible show something you would find on SyFy at 3AM… Expand

Oh boy, this really is one that simply cannot be enjoyed if you have a functioning brain

Mystery box storytelling at its absolute worst - if you endure all 10 episodes and go back to episode 1, nothing anybody does makes any sense whatsoeverOh boy, this really is one that simply cannot be enjoyed if you have a functioning brain

Mystery box storytelling at its absolute worst - if you endure all 10 episodes and go back to episode 1, nothing anybody does makes any sense whatsoever in terms of what we since know to be their motivations and goals, it's all just in favour of drawing out having to reveal anything to the viewer (and even when it does, much like Discovery, there's no payoff because the endgame is either complete nonsense or has nothing to do with anything we've seen up to that point and so couldn't have been predicted or foreshadowed)

Characters flip allegiances for no reason and without hesitation, previous canon is constantly ignored or painfully misused, there's a whole Borg element to the story that serves literally no purpose besides being something recognisable with which to trick viewers into watching with, the climactic standoff is farcical and absolutely littered with the kind of meaningless platitudes that would embarrass even a cheap motivational poster - there's just so much nonsense and disregard for basic logic or storytelling

Expect the same incessant and misplaced melodrama of Discovery where the score tells you how to feel because the script is incapable of making any kind of audience connection, the same bastardisation of existing characters into their most laughable grimdark shadow versions (including Picard, who is now a confused old man who doesn't seem to know his own character traits and has regressed to crippling borg PTSD despite being entirely fine around them for multiple seasons of TNG and several movies since his Locutus experience), and all of the same "...but why?" responses to every new development and character decision

Throw in some insane cosmic coincidences that show yet again that NuTrek has no concept of how unfathomably huge space is and how many countless gazillions of individuals live in it, a plot ripped off almost directly from Mass Effect but without any of the logic or nuance to that story, and the obligatory sex and gore that shows how mature and adult the writers think they are, and you've got this mess of a show

I honestly don't know who this show is for - if you know anything about Star Trek, Picard is an infuriating and painful watch; if you don't, there's nothing here but empty spectacle and cliched nonsense that doesn't even make for good generic sci-fi Avoid… Expand

Does not follow canon or give you any hope or inspiration for a better future! I grew up watching STO reruns as a teen in the early 70's, fell in love with the show on my first viewing, which happened to be arguably the best STO episode made The City on the Edge of Forever! I also grew to love ST TNG, ST DS9 as an adult and was ecstatic when we had our first female captain in Voyager. But the most gratifying was being able to sit down and watch Voyager with my children, seeing the joy and anticipation for the next episode, the hope for a better future through their eyes, sharing stories of people who were inspired into certain career fields by the show, it didn't get any better than that. Sadly, this is something you can't do with this show! To CBS, don't ever expect me or my family to watch/pay anything made by Kurtzman or with the Kelvan timeline.

Aren't those the things you think of when you think "Star Trek"? This is a show that wants you to think of it as a separate entity from TNG, but it leans so heavily on TNG references nostalgia for its minimal emotional pathos that it's impossible to judge it on its own merits - it must be judged as a sequel to TNG. On those grounds, it's an abject failure. The writing is awful, the pacing is schizophrenic, flipping from a snail's pace to warp speed and back again, characters are cardboard cutouts spouting profanity and hackneyed cliches, the violence is graphic and unpleasant, and the show is utterly without the wit or charm that made previous Star Trek series' so endearing. As far as the story goes, all kinds of plot threads are left hanging, not to set up future intrigue, but because the writers simply forgot about them or lost interest. A central, core plot point of the show - that Romulans hate AI and will destroy androids, and anyone researching AI or androids, on the spot is incoherent and contradicted by dozens of past Star Trek episodes, and the show asks you to have sympathy with a character who literally attempts genocide on the entire galaxy. I'm giving the show 3 instead of 0 because the production values are pretty good, and it was nice to see Picard have a nice dinner with Riker and Troi. Otherwise this is one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had over ten episodes of television. Avoid like the plague.… Expand

The writers of the show are cultural vandals, unable to create anything sublime themselves. It is riddled with plotholes, painstakingly slow but doesn´t take time to develop any characters and has a Mary Sue main protagonist.

They bring in memberberries, just to kill them off one by one. Be it Icheb, Bruce Maddox, Hugh or even Data(!) They are so clever to show us Romulans with a similar appearance as Vulcans, only to have a Romulan/Vulcan halfbreed chief of Ster Fleet security(!) Thanks to their own sloppyness they can claim it to be canon all they want, when it is simply not possible. Tbh, I doubt those hacks have ever seen a single episode of Trek. What´s even worse - the showrunners admitted they wanted to offend fans A.K.A. paying customers. As far as I´m concerned this never happened.

Viewers new to the franchise will put it away after an episode or two, because there’s nothing there they haven’t seen already 10 times within the last 20 years both in terms of storytelling and visual effects. It’s beyond me how Sir Patrick Stewart agreed to have anything to do with this mess.

Even Seven-of-Nine is boring in this show. Can you imagine? Seven-of-Nine is boring!

How did you manage that?!… Expand

Spits on the REAL captain Picard and on Rodenberry’s legacy, what a shame. Kurtzmann trek is not Star Trek.

This is a contrived, dumb, lore breaking, vacuous load of nonsense banking on nostalgia. Picard is a passenger in his own show, surrounded by dumb unlikable crew, modern life and using current day speech patterns, gory violence, f bombs, androids doing vulcan mind melds, destruction of established characters in moments with nothing being earnt or set up, starfleet dragged through the mud and the federation full of rascists. None of the plot makes sense (the Romulan empire is gone but have a huge borg cube under their control with legions of scientists...then in moments they are back and have a huge fleet...) and the bits that do are stolen from Mass Effect 3 and Bladerunner.… Expand

I can excuse a change of tone, and I welcome daring to do something new.

But when the plot is nonsensical, cool factor and shock value override coherence and believable reactions, nobody seems to have a working brain (including the baddies), and twists that go nowhere are continuous plot crutches, in the end this is a narrative failure extended over 10 episodes.

No in-depth treatment of themes, pointless cameos, this is as much Trek as it could be any new wannabe SF franchise where looks win over substance.… Expand

Any true Trek fan would be forced to admit that this show deviated from the original soul of star trek - going so far that star fleet was literally unrecognizable, Picard was a putz and generally the logic of science fiction became more of a "fantasy in space" genre.
Skip this and watch the Expanse - IMO.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll give this review about the same time out of my life than the showrunners gave it. You can sum the series up with one sentence: "They brought the borg back (cool) and seven of nine back (turned out to be cool) and brought back the hope of recovering Commander Data from the dead given the ridiculous and pointless way they killed him off prior, and then they killed the Borg with a giant flower (literally), turned Picard into a robot that is 'programmed' to die soon, and built up to a tremendous space battle with 2 types of ships (x1000) that nobody cared about.… Expand

It's bad, lots of poor writing and poor acting. Not worth your time. Patrick Steward should've retired instead of doing this.

Picard is a terrible Star Trek show. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find any resemblence with the original Star Trek apart from a superficial level. Instead, we get a Game of Thrones ripoff in space.
Instead of an optimistic vision of thePicard is a terrible Star Trek show. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find any resemblence with the original Star Trek apart from a superficial level. Instead, we get a Game of Thrones ripoff in space.
Instead of an optimistic vision of the future with interesting problems to be tackled in every episode we get sex, violence, depression and drama. The characters are bad, the plot is thin and illogical. Picard feels like a fever dream. It feels like Picards (and every Star Trek fans) worst nightmare.

Don't waste your time with this show. Even if you ignore the Star Trek branding it's a less than mediocre show that rips off much more successfull (and better) shows.
I can't believe that Patrick Steward and so many others from the original cast of characters came back and allowed their characters to be dragged through the dirt like this.
Picard is a weak and confused old man.
Seven of Nine is a vengefull killing machine.
And all the new characters are trash as well: discount Legolas, discount Han Solo, Picards care givers and Misses Crackhead join the crew. And guess what,they are absolutely irrelevant for the plot.… Expand

I don't know what experience the writers of this shows have, high school maybe. They are just awful, getting worse and worse as the season went on. Ending with one of the worst last 3 episodes I've seen in TV in a long time. If the show was some generic SiFi TV show it might I might have given it a 3, but when dealing with a beloved character and universe to write such terrible plots and characters it just disgusts, offends me. After 'discovery', another awful show, I'm done with the Star Trek franchise. unless there is a total change in the show runners and writers. I'M OUT… Expand

The story became predictable characters were acting out of character for whatever the writers wanted and not to mention the Zhat Vash are one of the worst additions to Star Trek lore in the history of the franchise. Suffice it to say after season 1 we will not be back for season 2 this was just atrocious. The only compliment I can give the show is that it's so far removed from what Star Trek is that it's easy to disconnect it from the original 4 shows.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This isn't Star Trek.

It's a series in which characters from series of the The Next Generation era, with Picard central to the narrative, are thrown into a nonsensical plot that meanders and stutters its way to an incredibly anticlimactic conclusion.

There's just nothing to redeem it, in my mind. I've tried to find something, anything, that would make me want to see what happens next..... But all i can do is wonder why those who created the show decided to throw out literally everything that Gene Roddenberry (the cretor of Star Trek) wanted his vision of the future to be about...… Expand

Gene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave right now. Any semblance of the hopeful future that Gene envisioned for humanity has been irreversibly tainted by this so called edgy spectacle. This show is Star Trek in name only. I think theGene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave right now. Any semblance of the hopeful future that Gene envisioned for humanity has been irreversibly tainted by this so called edgy spectacle. This show is Star Trek in name only. I think the most egregious part of this show is how they have taken one of the finest examples of a fictional character ever created (JLP) and destroyed his legacy. I read several articles where Patrick Stewart was excited to do the show because he thought "there was something special there". Well with all due respect to Mr Stewart (whom I admire greatly and will watch anything he performs in) who by his own admission isn't a Star Trek or a science fiction fan. Why is it so difficult for CBS or Paramount to find an actual fan of the franchise to write these shows? Where are the Okudas? Where are the folks who took pride in creating and continuing Gene's legacy? Whatever at this point I can literally vote with my wallet and choose not to give CBS any of my money. Congratulations CBS, you have successfully hammered the final nail into the Star Treks coffin.… Expand

A betrayal of every single ideal Star Trek stood for, made only worse by inane dialogue and nonsensical plotting. Avoid at all costs and forget it exists.
