Maybe it was because I kept getting interrupted and watched this spread out over a couple days, but I kind of don’t think I like this one.
It felt a tad too familiar and not gimmicky enough if you’re going to go for a Noir style, Casablanca inspired setting. I craved color (finding the explanation unsatisfactory considering shutters and artificial light), and I got tired of the hushed tones or whispering.
Oh well, next.

I feel really conflicted about this season. I like they’re experimenting and trying new stuff, but like, i don’t know if it’s landing.
However, I do believe in like 10 years I’m going to look back and think, this is good Star Trek. But similar to…honestly all Star Trek, I find it hard to really enjoy it in the moment for some reason.
I guess Star Trek is a fine wine. You got to let it age a bit first.

This would be fine if the seasons were longer
