The stuff with Data was alright and at least they did sort of do some diplomacy. Very overwrought and cheesy though.

(Spoilered because it's the ending and all that.)

I liked how the federation fleet made no mention of the space hole/tentacles

God this was bobbins

It really undermines the ~complex political allegory~ they were going for, to have the problems with the Federation boil down to "there was one evil person who infiltrated it and now she's gone we'll start doing the right thing again". Especially to have that happen off-screen like it's no big deal. I found that really tone-deaf.

Again, not as bad as I was expecting, but still a disappointment.

I will still religiously watch the next season because it has Patrick Stewart in though so I guess they got me good.

It was better than I expected, and I was definitely glad to see things end on a more optimistic note than they started.

Though Discovery Season 3 will be along soon enough to slap that optimism out of the way and remind us that Star Trek has to be dark and grim now.

I was really happy with how that ended.

Looking forward to season 2 in all honesty.

I think my biggest wish was that there had been some more variety in the Starfleet ships rather than them all being the same class.

I would assume that this was a Federation battle fleet unlike the normal ragtag groups of exploration ships that get together.

I enjoyed that, and I enjoyed the series as a whole.

I enjoyed moments but it never really gelled for me. The characters weren't all that likeable - especially the incredibly irritating scientist woman. The best bits were those with old characters rather than new ones (Jeri Ryan was ace). The plot was shakey. The pacing was odd. The Federation was poorly drawn.

I'll watch it because Picard, and Star Trek, yay, but I haven't enjoyed this series much.

Yeah for the most part that was a big bag of shite.

Yes! Agreed. Rios and Seven had more connection in that scene than he and Agnes did in the entire season.

I think Rios is a pretty likeable character and I can see them making something of Raffi but Agnes sucks.

I’d generally agree with that. I really liked Rios and I enjoyed Raffi but Jirati was a bit of a wet blanket. I enjoyed the series as a whole but the way they got around the thing at the end left me very cold.

I want to know what happened between Chakotay and Seven that seemed to end so badly it turned Seven into a Lesbian.

She was always way out of his league.

She probably got splinters because he was completely wooden.

Apparantly Gerri Ryan always wanted Seven's character to be Bisexual or Gay but the writers at the time didn't allow it or something along those lines. I read it somewhere recently, but im not sure.

I guess once you've been linked to everyone and every thing in the hive mind, sticking to one gender is a bit redundant.
