I want to like this show but the characters are just so lame.
I grew up with Star Trek New Generation and captain Picard was just great. But these guys all feel like really bad actors.
I found myself wanting them to stop talking or get killed in the show. They are so triggering bad. Nobody else feels like that?
Anyone in particular? I don't feel taken out of the story by the acting.
I sometimes think the writing is a bit too obvious, but I guess its hard to come up with something original in a universe with this much content. The actors seem believable to me. I enjoy it because Captain pike feels like the captain, a captain Riker would be.
The choice to make spock a "Big Bang Theory" Sheldon comic relief was very bad, for example.
I'm only on the end of season 1 but it's so super cheesy. He basically went "let anger into my heart", then proceeded to hit the wall a few times, and now he can't control his emotions anymore.
It's so teenage level, all of this. They could have created something great here but they clearly didn't care, and just put C level actors everywhere and hoped the audience wouldn't notice how bad it is.
The previous episode was about how the entire ship became like in the book the doctor was reading, followed by some horrible acting from the entire crew.
Yeah I guess I don't know why I am watching anymore. I shouldn't.
