Someone has to say it: Discovery is the Batman v Superman of the Star Trek universe.
It’s broken on so many levels. I can imagine the brainstorming session:
– Let’s make it dark and gritty, because it’s a reboot. Like BSG and The Expanse.
– Yeah, and let’s redesign everything, because why not.
– The Klingons too?
– Hell, yeah.
– And the main character, how about a Spock who behaves like Kirk?
– Genius. What about the landing parties?
– What about them?
– You know, the people who get sent into dangerous situations?
– Forget that crap, we’ll use only the captain and first officer.
– Should we keep anything?
– What about Vulcan telepathy mumbo jumbo?
– Yeah, we can use this as deus ex machina!
– Fantastic. Everybody’ll love that.
