As with the ultimate season, Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 may ultimately transfer upward in my rankings, however my unique impression was one in every of deep disappointment. For starters, the Starfleet of the thirty second century felt disappointingly underdeveloped…like, we went from drooling over what future Federation ships would appear to be to having to frantically freeze frames simply to get a foul have a look at a fuzzy hull.
From the start to arguably the very finish, Discovery by no means actually leaned into the chance to indicate us future ships and bases, leaving the far way forward for this franchise feeling principally missed and undercooked.
Your mileage could range, however for me, this was the Star Trek: Discovery season the place the “thriller of the season” format began to put on on me. I assumed the Crimson Angel stuff of Season 2 was comparatively thrilling, however uncovering the thriller of the Burn in Season 3 felt as if the present, just like the Starfleet vessels of the longer term with out functioning dilithium, had misplaced the flexibility to maneuver very quick. The reveal that the galaxy was almost pushed to smash due to a random Kelpien’s mommy points is sort of too disappointing for phrases.
Not almost as disappointing as seeing the within of the turbolift hall, although.
