The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

    Yeah, I can’t remember which Star Trek it was but they introduced a pretty cool character with a really tragic background and quite a few other people who suffered but the only person who cried in the movie was… the Vulcan. Really?

    Also I think Strange New Worlds is pretty good.

      Strange new worlds has it’s moments, but some of the dialogue and interactions make me long for a writer with a military background.

        I can see that. I feel the same way sometimes but I just have to say, like it or not Discovery just ISN’T Star Trek.

        Yes! I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. Watching TOS and TNG it clearly comes across that they’re military hierarchies inspired in part by the kind of sciency and professional approach of the military / real life space program. The new shows reveal that the creators lack this understanding.
