It wasnt too bad this week and i kinda liked the Gary Mitchell ref i.e the USS Mitchell ship and it linked to the galactic barrier.

If you like watching shows where the supposedly most elite space force in the galaxy spend their entire time crying, talking about crying or asking other people if they need to cry then give it a bash! I've never watched a series with as many badly written wet lettuces. These guys wouldn't have the emotional wherewithal to get out of bed let alone fly a starship.

That has not been the case for quite some time now... I take it you've not actually seen later episodes lol. It is back to Federation japes.

I did quite enjoyed the first series, the others have watchable but i'm starting to agree. This series is just non-stop soap-like emotional wetness, i'm getting so bored with each episode that i now fast-forward large chunks to get to the 10 minutes of actual action.
At this point i'm hoping Burnham or Book, or both to be honest, get vaporised by the DNA
Changing tack, we need a Pike spin-off as that would (/could) be a good show.

Fingers crossed it'll be decent; last thing we need is another mediocre Star Trek show....

Mediocre is rather kind as far as this series goes.

Edit: confused the barrier at the edge of the galaxy with the one at the edge of it lol

I was just about to post the same thing. Why the **** is their some sort of weird barrier at the edge of the galaxy? That isn't how galaxies work.
Soldato
Haven't watched the episode and I don't think it's a spoiler, but (from ST books, so probably not canon) regarding the barrier...
The Q continuum created the barrier to keep out another powerful entity called O, who's originally from another dimension.
The story also explains why there's a barrier at the center of the galaxy and who the talking head with a God complex is in Star Trek V

The barrier is in the original series. Its pink though
Soldato
And flying into it turns you into a god. With natty silver contact lenses.
Enjoyed this week, although Saru is woefully being underused - the forced interaction with other crew members ie Bryce was cringe worthy.
Also the bridge crew, they never say more than "Yes Captain" and scream when they are been thrown left to right or crying when Michael gives yet another pep talk - but this week we have them talking about their fave holidays when navigating the galactic barrier - lo and behold they have to be told seconds later that Earth is at risk - again very convenient for the plot

Of course not. It'll be revealed in the last 20 minutes where they'll have a long speech, a hug, then sent back on their merry way where a new universe shattering anomaly will be presented to give a cliff-hanger for the next series.
