Despite Star Trek: Discovery’s critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn’t pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.
What the hell were they spending this money on???
Certainly not on the plot.
I like the visuals, but the plot is almost at the level of Voyager during the screenwriters strike.
Artificial tears
Lens flare
Bribing critics?
