I always thought the visual effects were amazing. The stories started out with great promise but then they started pushing agendas on the show so everyone apparently had to be gay. No I don't have a problem with gays and stuff. But most of the main cast were gay. Then they have to worry about each characters feelings are more important than the story. Then you have the problem with every character interrupting each other like nobody can finish a sentence without someone else finishing their thought for them. I mean come on not everyone has to have the equal amount of lines per episode. You can tell a story without people constantly interrupting each other all the time. This show has so much promise and yes I've stuck it out all five season bc I'm a true ST fan and had faith it would get better but now but it didn't. Lower decks was great. Prodigy fantastic. Picard ( mainly season 3) a masterpiece. But Discovery was pushing too many agendas and will soon be forgotten. And what's with the captain putting herself on EVERY away mission. Sad.... Let's get this final season out of the way and give us ST Legacy life.
