Star Trek DIS

Star Trek: Discovery season 2 hits in early 2019! Now, I would honestly normally be more excited for this...but for some reason I'm just not. Not because it's only available on CBS All Access....but because I personally feel that Trek is a bit lost right now and hasn't found its footing just yet.

Discovery doesn't feel like Trek to me. It's way too flashy, tense and just a bit too "generic sci-fi action show that just happens to include the words Star Trek in it." The whole point of Star Trek is hope for humanity and how we survive and explore. Sure there is war, suspense and its share of action, but the characters are what makes all the difference. Here? Not so much.
