Episode 3 of STD is just making me angry from start to finish. Every single character is a total bitch, the main character is an unlikeable asshole who acts nothing like she was raised Vulcan, nothing about this resembles Star Trek, and this garbage would be completely unrecognizable to Gene Roddenberry and his vision. My brain can't even shut off and pretend this is connected to the prime timeline or TOS in any way. Even as a prequel to the JJ films it's pointless so far. The episode was full of hacky dialogue, empty "Lost" style story-telling, surface level literary references in an attempt to appear intelligent, gah, it's so bad.
Shuttles shouldn't be able to go to warp.
Why is there a random tribble? Does it serve any purpose beyond blind fan service to the people who accept the rest of this rubbish? Why has it not multiplied and taken over the ship? Maybe they're going to use its magical blood to heal everyone from death.
Why are they making a series about a bullshit propulsion system we know doesn't exist in future?
I really tried to give this a fair chance, but it's literal AIDS.
