COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Characters are starting to flesh out a bit... submitted by tbbrown76 on July 6, 2020, 9:15pm But the long term plot just seems to drag. And the whole AI thing is reminiscent of Battlestar Gallitica. I'm a big Trek fan and if you are too, then watch. Otherwise...not so much.

Second season of Discovery submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on June 15, 2022, 12:08pm The second season of "Star Trek: Discovery" begins with Captain Pike (the original captain of the Enterprise in the first Star Trek TV series) taking command of the Discovery as the Enterprise has taken too much damage to be useful. Michael Burnham, our main character and a crew member of the Enterprise, has searched for and found her adopted brother Spock, only to find that he has suffered significant psychological distress and appears to inhabit his own reality. Burnham then discovers the Red Angel, whose appearances throughout the galaxy create the season's main story arc and eventually lead to the circumstances of the third season.

Interestingly, Sarek (played by James Frain), Spock (played by Ethan Peck), and Pike (played by Anson Mount) are not played by the same actors as played those characters in the other Star Trek TV series nor in the recent Star Trek films. Jonathan Frakes, who played Commander Riker in "Star Trek: Next Generation," directs several episodes in this season.

This season introduces comedian Tig Notaro as Jett Reno, an engineer who has kept several people alive while stranded on a planet. The character adds some welcome comedy to the series, and increases the number of openly LGBTQ characters by 50 percent. Notaro is one of several openly LGBTQ actors on the show.
