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.

    Badly written characters, featuring one of the most textbook versions of a Mary Sue main character I’ve ever seen.

    Illogical character development, or simply no character development at all. Since STD is not an episodic type series this is important.

    Badly written overall stories focused more on VFX, action, and covering a few checkboxes rather than actually having anything interesting to say.

    STD will not be missed. But unfortunately Star Trek is still in the hands of the same showrunner.
