Maybe I missed something in the article, but what is the title even talking about? What's the "winning formula" it mentions? What's being rewritten?

    Agreed, I've had a lot of fun watching this series, including season 4. I can understand why some people don't like it, but I really appreciate the silliness with this series.

    Same! I like the silly! The musical ep was amazing. The party planet was fun! It's the closest thing we've had to TOS since S1 TNG. And by far the best live action Trek since TNG. Don't fucking let them turn it in to another Discovery or 90210 in space!

    Same here, i want it to continue, but also cut the really stupid shit out and it'd be perfect.

    I checked out at the musical. From what I see, it got much worse. Get real writers.

    I checked out at "good and evil are fundamental forces and your goodness is in your genes", after skipping the Vulcan minstrel show and being weirded out by the race/species essentialism.

    You can't bail because of a musical episode, every show does a musical episode. It gives their best singers a chance to show a talent that is hidden from the world, and personalizes them a little. Some of the cast are excited by it, and others are terrified and dread it, especially when they hear how good some are. The Greys Anatomy one is legendary for how bad it is.

    SNW's show was pretty meh, but was saved only because La'an was amazing, and then Uhura stepped up and was MIND-BLOWING. Absolutely incredible singer.

    Look I thought SNW was pretty good in the first 2 seasons, but whatever 3 and 4 have been is not what I'd call a 'winning' formula.

    I have to agree.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, not a hater. I don't hate-watch TV. I'm here to have a good time and I'm gonna have a good time.

    But I miss "normal" episodes. Almost every episode in season 3 was "SNW does _____". Either a spoof or a remake. It's great to do that once or twice. They could easily get away with that many in a traditional 26-episode season. But when you only have 10 episodes you need more focus.

    I hope so, because season 4 was absolute dog shit with those unwatchable “theme” episodes

    Completely agree. The closest they came to a decent episode was the kirk-centred TOS-themed episode. Foolishly, I thought that they'd pulled out of the nosedive... but we had more fairytale nonsense and space baby.

    Shame to see they're ending the best of the live action Trek shows in the new lot, but here's hoping someone decent picks it up and we get a return to form for Star Trek.
