Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious 800-year-old Romulan vessel; until the artifact hidden inside is stolen, leading to an epic chase. Meanwhile, Saru is offered the position of a lifetime, and Tilly’s efforts to help pull her into a tangled web of secrecy.
I just realized that an 800 year-old Romulan vessel would place its origin in the 2390s…
Sounds like the Trekkiest Disco season synopsis since 2019. Glad to hear Tilly hasn’t entirely retired to teaching duty!
Trek Central has also provided a picture of what is probably the Romulan ship described in the synopsis.
Also, TrekCore has compiled some shots of what appears to the be interior:
Looks like the scout ship from TNG.
Agreed - its shape is nearly identical.
Aside from stamets, this show has the least likeable principal cast of a star trek show I’ve seen. Burnham is so blegh. And Tilly is annoying as hell imo.
I think Tilly was a very well written character, especially in the beginning. Not much experience, friendly but awkward. Very human unlike the big heroic captains. But I agree, Burnham is the most unlikeable main character in Star Trek. I also find Georgeou and Booker annoying and Saru was cool in the beginning (especially when there was still a wow factor for the visual work) but he also wasn’t faring too well lately. Most of the rest of the cast is okay at least and Jason Isaacs and Anson Mount were highlights in seasons 1 and 2 respectively.
What bothered me most about Tilly is how fast her rise from nobody to officer went. Way faster than her personality. She could make a great officer in ten years, not two.
Similar to how Burnham made Captain even though she was demoted…
You’ve been demoted and you break all the rules! Here’s a starship!
That’s funny. I feel the same way, except that it’s Tilly that I care about and no one else.
I liked the weird engineering lady and Saru
Okay, but what do you like about it?
Why do so many people go online and think it’s suddenly normal human behavior to walk into a room griping about something?
I mean it’s a bad show overall. And a terrible star trek show. I tried to like it but I really don’t. I like a couple of characters in it, but nothing else beyond that. I love Strange New worlds though, that one shows they were listening to the complaints.

I stopped after season 2. It was the only Star Trek show ever I disliked. Is it worth it to revisit or has it been more of the same?
It got even worse in my opinion.
That’s just about when it got a bit more watchable.
Temper your expectations and it’s perfectly enjoyable.
So basically Crisis Point II?

I just finished the series yesterday. Season one and two are weak as fuck and don’t feel like star trek at all. Its ok as a random explode-y sci-fi show though. Seasons 3-4 really did feel like star trek and I liked them quite a bit. One of the best parts of the show is all the main characters have a lot of growth through out the show and its done in great realistic way. The ending of season 4 was awesome and up there with some of the best trek episodes.
