I stopped watching after she became a time lord... did it get any better?

Eh. Season 3 is more coherent than 1 and 2, but I found the season-long arc to be ridiculous nonsense that wasn't compelling at all. You know how TOS and early VOY in particular just get real weird every once in a while? DIS season 3 had that energy, except when TOS or VOY did it, it was a one-episode experiment with no lasting repercussions. DIS season 3 spent a whole season on it and there are enormous repercussions for the Trek universe.

Season 4 is definitely the most cohesive season in terms of story and theme, and did raise some interesting (if cliché) concepts. However, I found it to just be terminally boring.

I'm not quite sure what to make of season 5 from the trailers. The description on YouTube tells me that we'll be embarking on "an epic adventure across the galaxy" which could describe every other season of DIS all the same. It looks like it's definitely going to be... another season of Discovery, and all that entails.

I just finished watching season 3. I think the premise had great potential (with the Federation being a fraction of itself). Just like Voyager had a fantastic premise, but sometimes fell flat. I feel like the season started pretty well, but felt rudderless by the middle/end. I actually prefer Seasons 1 & 2.

And it only took four seasons for them to actually, ya know, Discover something...

I do like the gas-bag aliens, but you're right, that whole season would have worked as a two-parter in a better Trek show.

So, like a molotov cocktail?

Like a chest infection that had you off work for a week and the doc gives you antibiotics, but you're still left with a lingering cough and bit of a sore throat for a long time after.
