  • RogerEbert.com - Star Trek: Section 31 (one star out of four)

    I'm finding God for a moment today to pray that this debacle finally and utterly strips Alex Kurtzman of whatever warlock-ass pact-magic power he must have ensorcelled around him

    Star Trek either needs to go to Ron Moore and Jane Espensen, or it needs to go back into storage for a decade.

    It can be so, so, so much better than all of this!

    • Honestly, with them pushing shows that most fans keep disliking over shows that are widely loved, I think they'd rather sink than ever let that guy go.

      They kinda did the same back then with Bearman.

    • I haven't liked everything to come out of this era, but on balance I think Kurtzman has done a very good job with the franchise. One streaming movie that's a bit of a dud (assuming I don't like it when I actually see it) isn't likely to change my opinion on that.

      • I'm glad you've been able to enjoy it! For me, I feel like the franchise on the whole has fundamentally lost its way; Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy have many virtues, but even when at their best, they're still tacking against the wind.

  • I’d like to be optimistic but I found the Emperor Georgiou to be such a dreadful character (not the fault of Michelle Yeih who is fab) and can’t root for her at all. When they had the sending off for her in Discovery and everyone was sad when she was horrible to them all it felt so contrived and forced. To see her lead a movie is an odd choice.
