Well, I have seen it! Maybe it was all the incredibly negative reviews setting my bar so low it could crawl over but, uh... I didn't mind it? Like I can't exactly RAVE about it but it was better than your average DISCO episode. I like that Star Trek is a place where you can tell all sorts of stories, even mindless actiony-heist stories! I almost feel like if we played a Star Trek RPG about Section 31 operatives we'd end up with a bonkers team like this one: "My guy's a shapeshifter! Oh, and I love your guy who is a tiny alien piloting a robot body!"
I liked the 'Among Us' bit where they didn't know who to trust, I liked the action and space battle sequences (and that they were prepared to have a high fatality rate), I liked the 'Mission Impossible' framing device, I liked Rachel Garrett... I'd have watched a show about these jerks. I even LOL'd at one line! ("What are they gonna do, drag us to death?")
Was it lame? Yes. Was it awful? Nah. The effects are good, the action set-pieces are fun, it was diverting enough that I stopped working and actually watched most of it. It's quite blah, but set your standards to stun and it's a middling sci-fi that happens to take place in the Star Trek universe (well, sort of, it could have been set anywhere really) and (sort of?) answers what happened to Georgiou after she stepped through the Guardian.
