Oh wow, strange new worlds is actually very badly written
#I guess I don't know what I was expecting#started watching because of the lower decks cross over#and lower decks is so tight and well written and good at subtext#that I was like yeah if they're willing to do a cross over episode I'll at least try snw out#but then I started watching snw from the beginning and like...#ALL of the characters read like they're someones edgy high school self projection oc#even the ones that Have Established Character Traits To Follow#which is a lot of them#I know they're trying to show these characters as younger and with less experiences#but it just doesn't land#+ I feel like the characters keep doing and saying things where I'm like#if we were two or three seasons in this would make sense#but we don't know these characters yet#and a lot of them don't know each other yet either#not to mention they keep being stupid?#in ways that don't make sense for the characters?#like spock goes down to the planets surface in the first episode even though he's the only one whos genetics can't maintain the disguise#and there are presumably other science officers on the ship who could do it instead#which seems like the opposite of logical? Like tos spock would have just putting his foot down and told kirk that's a bad idea#bit instead it causes all this unnecessary tension in the story#but then doesn't even lead to anything because they just punch their way out of it when his ears grow back#like???#I'm disappointed because I liked discovery a lot#but this writing seems very sloppy and contrived dispite being written by mostly the same people#and I am rarely a harsh critic of star trek writing#I enjoy when it's campy and bad#but there is no camp here#it's bad writing taking itself way to seriously and that is actually exhausting
