Star Trek: Discovery: Species Ten-C (2022)
Writers please talk to people with trauma experience
Dear writers of Discovery: the small distracting scenes where people have relatively in-depth conversations about their personal relationships or moods really doesn't happen when you are experiencing trauma (for instance, your home facing potential destruction) and you are under the gun to save people. Maybe talk to combat veterans? Wild fire or hurricane survivors?
Which is to say, 10-C story was fully dramatic enough, and this episode would have been as compelling as it deserved to be if you had focused on it.
Star Trek: Discovery: The Examples (2021)
Again, interesting concepts treated badly
Multiple stories that would have been great as episodes in their own right are fragmented and each given a rushed, shallow treatment. Maybe they need short story writers on staff to help keep episodes more tightly focused.
Star Trek: Discovery: All Is Possible (2021)
Too many plot lines, not enough depth
Honestly if they'd stuck to a single plot line and gone deeper either of the two main stories would have worked. Instead both were interesting ideas treated simplistically. So annoying.
