I mean, a woman (who is portrayed as being older than in her 20s) gets hybridised with an alien (who appears monstrous) and gains super abilities is so in my wheelhouse I might have built my wheelhouse around the concept … but then with a snap of the fingers she’s stuck somewhere immobile for all time. :-(
For me, its also antithetical to Star Trek. I want to see stories of the crew overcoming obstacles by using their unique skillsets to work together. I could be enundated with that everyday and not tire. What I dont want to see is individuals saving the day because they are oh-so special and don’t need anyone else. Thats capitalist propaganda.
Yup, ditto on that … and it would be easy to create a story where mature-woman-who-is-part-killer-croc is not simply the magical solution to everything, but is a needed part of the team that does fix things.
It was the perfect time to involve crew members of different species and bring them all together. It was literally in the plot. So infuriating and not to mention boring
Or this one Commander is a good by-the-book 1st officer to one of the most decorated officers in all of Starfleet history, who also kinda sorta happens to be the never-before-mentioned adopted sister is a classic ST cornerstone character, then for some inexplicable reason goes against everything towards insurrection and starts a massive war and is thrown in jail. Until they’re the only one who can solve current problem and suddenly things are back to normal. Until some inexplicable time travel event occurs and they’re the only one who can solve it because it cause just so happens to be their parents. Then they get flung into the future where the galaxy is in shambles…and even though they’re about 900 years out of date they’re the only ones who can solve it
kurtzman never liked trek, he said himself he dint care about the continuity at all. nutrek is just bad all around, the writing is so bad, and the showrunner/executives were definitely pushing obvious agendas.
sigh that was a let down.

Yes, makes total sense. Also, everyone must be crying all the time.
