David McK (3369 KP) rated Star Trek: Discovery - Season 5 in TV

Jun 2, 2024 (Updated Jun 2, 2024)

The final series of the most touchy feely of the Star Trek shows where the crew seemingly rely on emotions rather than logic to win the day (whether that's good or bad is up to you), this entire series is really one long treasure hunt: find a clue, follow the path to the next clue, rinse and repeat ...

It looks good, sure, but I'm not (personally) a fan of this approach to Star Trek.

YMMV.

Short Story of a young Jack Reacher

This is a Jack Reacher Short Story which gives us a look at 13 year old Reacher. He is very similar to adult Reacher, thoughtfully efficient fighter with an uncanny logic to solve mysteries.

The first part of this gives us some nice family background but the end suddenly has Jack solving mysteries super quick. It needed to be a tad longer and let the mysteries develop as it just came across as rather a rapid jump of logic for a 13 year old that adults didn’t get near. I would of been happy just to get a bit more picture of a young Reacher without having the pretty much fully formed characteristics of the adult on show.

All in all an OK quick story; I listened to the audiobook which was around 1 hour and aside from the voice of his Father was well narrated by Kerry Shale. Probably one for just existing Reacher fans.

The follow-on to Steelheart sees us (eventually) move city and become familiar with a new hierarchy of superheroes. I would have liked more exploration of the aftermath of Steelheart's defeat and the chaos that ensued before the search for Firefight begins.
The supers' weaknesses start to seem a little bit of a reach at times with no real tangible logic behind why they would be.
Again, some of the dialogue is a bit B-Movie and the characters too geeky/annoying.
