Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

The writing gets worse and worse

I am commenting on Season 4. The shows written by Anne Cofell Saunders and Terri Hughes Burton are the worst. Talky, talky, talky. Express feelings, feelings, feelings. Episodes proceed slowly, go nowhere. There is a season-long story arc, but no episode proceeds very far along in that grand story. There are way too many characters, and almost every episode stops dead to make sure that a number of minor characters get their moments to explain what they are feeling right now. The worst is when there is a real emergency, but no urgency.
