        I’ve been trying to think of a word to describe the episode. Clunky seems about right. Of this season only one episode came near to not being cringe (and that was because it tried to recreate the “theme” of an old TOS episode). Production quality is exceptional; narrative just cringe and clunky.

        Ha! If only they had that in mind. You’d think that Trek could hire some innovative SF writers rather than produce this junk. You get the impression that most tv (and movie) SF is produced by people who’d prefer to be making angsty teenage relationship shows.

          I enjoy SNW, but can’t argue the point. It often feels more like a teen drama than the actual teen drama Star Trek show.

            I would say that the creators need to learn the lesson that GOT teaches: that audiences appreciate greater complexity and a show that doesn’t talk down to them… but then I feel like if they did try to emulate GOT, they’d just assume the lesson is that audiences want grimdark, and they’d make Discovery again.
