Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”

I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

    Thank you, totally agree.
    The school drama between the cadet-guys was so forced and the officers acted irresponsible, sometimes even incompetent.
    It also felt more like a mix of Hogwarts in space and Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters.
    Why can’t they start their training on earth instead of flying through open space with a minimal crew and lots of kids without any qualification and without any permission on the ship?
    SAM is the photonic version of season 1 Disco Tilly.
    Lura Thok (number one) reminded me of Lt. Commander Bortus from Orville.

      This thread is convincing me to give it a try. I can’t stand any show whose entire plot revolves around “adults are idiots and do stupid illogical unrealistic shit but the kids are smart and insightful and smarter than everyone.”

      “Series of Unfortunate Events” is obviously that to the point it is really satire, and thar’s cool enough. But then you’ve got Harry Potter. Holy shit it hurts. Wednesday was the same thing and turned me off in the second season. Don’t even bring up Stranger Things. I give that one kinda a pass because it was meant to recapture the 80s nostalgia of things like The Goonies, which, to its credit at least didn’t rely on incompetent adults to advance every story line.

      This one got away from me…
