The 'shaky cam' BS is getting on my nerves.

This isnt 'The Blair Witch Project.'

It almost makes The Bourne Supremacy unwatchable.

Also the camera work in this entire series has been trash. Charlatan level work.

I get what they're trying to do with her. I do.

I also get the 'if you dont like what she's doing you dont understand it.'

No. I do.

But its bad. And it should feel bad for being so bad and they should stop.

This show is not safe for Jews.

The latest episode wasn't as good as the previous two.

Spoiler!


The fun thing about Star Trek is there is so much lore that it is easily to come up with all sorts of theories/call-backs.

After catching up on this show I'm not sure where the heavy criticism is coming from. Sure the ship lighting sucks and Amanda Plummer is a little too hammy, but other than that it's classic Trek. It just sucks that it took them 3 seasons to figure out what to do with this show and they wasted Patrick Stewart for 2 of them. At least they're finally able to give the core TNG cast a proper farewell here unlike the steaming pile of #### that was Nemesis
