It’s better than discovery 🤷🏽‍♀️ But I’m getting more nervous each episode that it will become more and more ‘politically correct’ & pushy towards a certain worldview rather than letting the audience arrive at its own conclusions. Guinan doesn’t make sense at the moment, but whatever. Seven definitely never “dabbled” if you know what I mean… and Icheb was explored incorrectly and her trauma never revisited. I also miss Hugh. I’m annoyed with Agnes & haven’t forgiven her use of Picard’s line “make it so.” I didn’t like that. She’s also just kinda a grating mismatch for Rios. Rios & Rafaella pair better.

It’s okay I guess. Doug is awesome. Soniqua tends to over-act like every line she delivers is the most intense thing she’ll ever say. She cries a lot for growing up Vulcan. Discovery doesn’t seem to mesh well with the old ones, like is it a reboot or what? Too aesthetically advanced for its timeline. It’s also super preachy. Like the old ones were cool because they’d acknowledge many views of an ethical dilemma. (Kira’s refusal to benefit from Cardassian medical “research”, Jadzia’s trill & multiple lifetimes, Belonna’s pregnancy and desired facial ridge correction for her child, etc…) This one’s just the current political correct views. I don’t like that. I like being challenged by the old ones to consider other views even those of the ‘enemy,’ because every group thinks it’s right, why? Understanding worldviews is important. It seems like the old ones were okay with its audience arriving at any conclusion. Discovery steers you in a preferred direction.

Keep your irrational personal feelings about Pratt out of this. A good movie is a good movie! 🎥 🍿 5 stars, easily! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 are all that matter. 77% says a lot & 84% of google users liking it says even more 😉

Wish I could leave 6 stars. Nostalgia done right. (Take notes Lana W. 👎) Watched it in theaters twice!
