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.

    I don’t like that the premise is the same as micheal from discover.

    Gets in trouble. Gets a chance at proving themselves after solving a problem that no one else could.

    They really should have come up with something else.

    But it’s fine.

    I was kind of getting a “Harry Potter but scifi” vibe from the second episode.

    Shenanigans followed by magic fix (slime). And the little magic holograms that pop up conveniently.

    Oh and student teacher rivalry.

    Yeah definitely a Hogwarts vibe. Or The magicians. But scifi.

    I thought in the first episode the acting was a little rough but hey, watch the first season of tng, it’s rough too.

    I’m still open to seeing more.

    I’m not one of those trekies who hate anything that isn’t tos or TNG.

    I like all of it except enterprise. And that’s mostly cause I really don’t like the captain. And I don’t know why but I don’t. And I can’t get over it.

    I even mostly liked Picard. Especially the 1st season. Kinda downhill after that.

    There’s plenty to critique in every series. Plenty of inconsistencies.

    But I still enjoy the world building and stories.
