i loved Michelle Yeoh on Discovery, loathed her character. The closer this gets to release the more I dread the results.
I'm going to hate watch this even more than I do Strange new worlds. I do appreciate fresh takes on the Trek universe, dark or no, but this seems like generic action sci-fi that happens to tie into ST canon. I'll be happy to be proven wrong when it airs.
My plan is to go in expecting a goofy action movie, and hopefully I'll find at least parts of it more compelling than that.
I've always felt that the Georgiou character is potentially interesting, and I liked her Discovery send-off. Of the "new" characters, Alok sounds interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Garrett.
I don't want to get too excited in this time of contraction in the entertainment industry, but it's exciting that they're opening the door to this era.
I echo what you said elsewhere, if I get a goofy action movie (or better) then I won't be disappointed and it will be nice to see the Discovery-era one last time.
A much hyped fanfilm from the post Enterprise/pre-Disco days where fan films were all we had to keep us going. "Renegades" had a good amount of hype around it because it had a real budget and the cast they managed to get. Unfortunately money can't buy taste and the actual script is pretty bad.
