The writing is so terrible and it really shows it in All the episodes but 4 carries out the tradition.
Spoiler!
J'dan or whatever his name is won't eat the Pizza because of the pepperoni and he won't eat food that didn't have a fair fight. ITS REPLICATED YOU MORON"
They have the Doctor quote the speech from Picard in the Drum Head, and they completely F'd it up, like they cut and pasted it and erased half of it. Lets see which one is a speech that makes sense, and which one is the babbling of a Hologram Doctor
Drunk Doctor -"With the first link the chain is forged, the first speech censured, the first though forbidden, us all, irrevocably"
Picard - "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Just unforgivable
Suddenly our Convict knows every piece of Federation Law and is a master debater.
And somehow in the first 4 classes, we've seen classes on Empathy and Activism, and the Debate Club, and a lame "War game, where they had to shoot a thing, and the hologram is invulnerable to weapons fire, and their strategy should have been, hey hologram walk over there and shoot that thing and we win. This isn't a academy to build future Star Ship Captains and explorers. Its a middle school.
Also add on last week, with the hologram she got beamed into water and she was blowing bubbles. Holograms don't God Damn Breathe
Back to this episode, they spend 8 to 10 million an episode, and yet they have cadets walking around in 2026 clothing and the Klingon Home World looks like Earth and filmed in somebodies back yard.
I'm hearing that the numbers are so far down on streaming, that its not even in the top 10 on its own platform.
This show has to be AI written, because no group of writers can be this moronic.

I'll let the 'Cadets clothing gripe' slide because Starfleet has always had a thing for pajamas...

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I thought this week's episode was the most "Star Trek" one so far. Klingons and Prime Directives and all that.
Of course, that didn't make it good.
I would agree with both statements. Its as close to 'Trek' as they've come so far but they did it so ham-fistedly it was still quite very bad.
Again though, and I think I'm going to be harping on this every week...why are so many characters completely unintelligible?
Having the Klingon debate was a joke, he can barely speak. The scene between Jayquon and the Jem'Hadar lady was essentially wasted run-time, and then of course the usual gripe with Holly Hunter.

A pity battle where no blood is spilled will surely make the Klingons feel like they won the planet like true warriors.
The Burn and its cause still piss me off.
Between that and the hobus supernova the writers effectively killed off all of the real bad guys from early star trek lore. Also killed vulcan. Hell its a miracle they haven't had earth blown up yet.
I had to look up what "The Burn" was on Memory Alpha because I gave up on Discovery long before the jump to the future. That's some of the dumbest tripe I've ever read, the only way Star Trek survives is if they retcon all of Discovery and Academy when it's inevitably cancelled

Okay, I too abandoned STD so I also had no idea what "The Burn" was, so, like you, I decided to look it up.
That is the most absurd premise I have ever heard. Some dude got sad because his mom bit it and the entire Galaxy fell apart?
What. The. F###?
They cant be serious with this bull####.
Furthermore...what has changed now? Why all of a sudden does this so-called 'Burn' no longer matter? What magically happened to dilithium this time? Does it miraculously work again? Where was the 'hand' waved?
