    Absolutely agree that Enterprise is the far better show. Discovery was a lot of spectacle and little substance.

    There were still actors and characters I liked - Culber and Stamets, Keyla Detmer, Saru.

    But I had a completely different experience of Sonequa Martin-Green. She overacted and shredded most scenes into teen melodrama, while supposedly portraying a highly trained elite officer. I thought her work in Discovery was amateurish at best, so much crying and emotional outburst that it lost any weight. If a cadet’s constant state is lack of emotional regulation you they’d never make it through the academy.

      All the forced melodrama is so freaking weird. As an adult, I miss watching a show about, you know, adults (even young ones). People who act maturely.
