I'm not sure why the reviews of this have been so negative. Logically, it is very difficult to develop an enthralling story within such a short amount of time. At least, that's what spock would say. As a Trekkie who enjoys all the iterations, I must say I do enjoy Discovery. These shorts (of which only the first have been released) are not only compelling, but add to the overall atmosphere of the Star Trek Multiverse. For something so short, it packed a punch, and left me looking forward to the next.

Great mini-episodes. just wish they were longer!
wadzee10 November 2018
Noticeably, you've two types of reviewer here, the 1/10 anti-Discovery trolls who spam all review sites with their "It's not James T Kirk" nonsense. (My response to these haters is 'why waste your time spamming the net with your drivel? Just DON'T watch it then!'. The other reviews tend to be true-Trek fans giving 10/10 reviews to counterbalance the haters' reviews.
To actually review the series, I would start by saying that it IS taking Star Trek in a different direction, but in one that it needed to go. Keeping the franchise alive means evolving, and the addition of Trek Shorts is part of that process. These 15minute shorts allow us a glimpse into other aspects of the characters' lives or the ship itself (Discovery). It's great to have 'filler' whilst we wait for another exciting series (season 2) and with news of new Star Trek series in production (with Sir Patrick himself) and even an animated comedy - I'm thrilled to see the franchise evolve like the Marvel world or DC world has in recent years.
The only downsides to these shorts (so far) is their length (I'm just hungry for more!) and that they feel (due to their length) a little 'rushed' in moving the storylines forward. Otherwise, looking forward to this becoming a regular intra-season feature!

Hit or miss
iam-flarn6 January 2019
The Mudd episode of Short Treks is the best one. The rest are hit or miss. Rainn Wilson needs to be in more episodes as I think he did a fantastic job.
I also don't get all the hate this series receives from Trek fans. I'm a life long fan, watched and loved every TV series (even Enterprise) and hate the new movies because I feel like they are not real Star Trek, but Discovery doesn't come anywhere close to those movies. I will admit, I was not a fan of the Klingons in the new series at 1st and some of the plot doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, but I felt it did a much better job at capturing the spirit of Star Trek than the new movies and even the last couple of TNG movies. I disagree vehemently with all of those who say this TV series is destroying what Gene Roddenberry created. Stop being so emotional about it and accept that there are people who like this show. I think people need to be a little bit more open-minded and not hold the favorite things from their childhood so close to their heart and crap on everything that isn't exactly that. Nothing will ever be exactly that. This one is close enough for me.

Everybody says it has no bearing
to the Trek storyline.
I have to disagree.
You have to have an open mind.
I do not think ST:Discovery denigrates
the Star Trek franchise,
but adds its uniqueness to the storyline.
With that said the shorts are just that
quirky off the wall stories, read them and weep
Trekkies. Stop living in the past.
Enjoy the moment as I did.
Like it or not,
support it as a part of the trekkie family.
In fact I look foward to the next 3 installment shorts.
ST:Discovery is awesome period!

A good story can be one sentence long or it can fill three novels. The best way to kill a good story is to ensure that the story contains something for everybody. Short Treks dials back the overproduced feel good momentum of Star Trek Discovery to manageable hit or miss events. Now lets get on with it. Thank you.
Trek never left
snakecl5 October 2018
A great bite-sized episode that has some wonderful character interaction, that brings some more insight into a fan favorite character. I've been watching Trek on TV since TNG originally aired, and have thoroughly enjoyed everything Discovery has put out.
Don't listen to the haters, give it a watch and decide for yourself. It might not be for everyone, but as a lifelong fan, I'm loving every second of this Trek resurgence.

Nice Return to Classic Formula
benbayer5 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The first short trek "Runaway" is very much a classic moral-of-the-story trek episode basically with a "believe in yourself" message. Ensign Tilly helps a stowaway make the right decision and return to help her people as the new queen.
Light hearted teaser story reminiscent of 'Lower Decks'.
dse-9492019 October 2018
With a wealth of imagination surrounding both back stories and new development in the 'Entire' Star Trek universe (as imagined by all who contribute), you can just keep on expanding the limits and this is a perfect example.
It's always so refreshing to watch little gems like this, because they treat your mind to a short pause from the central plot "Where the odds are against us and the situation is grim", whilst somehow remaining connected. I think it's imperative, to help the modern generation get a sense of how forward-thinking Star Trek is to the world of sci-fi. So here it is... We develop as much supporting material as possible surrounding all the characters, their strengths, their fears, their histories and more. These are not simply cold, flat, generic science fiction characters that fit the profile of the overall genre, no, they are human beings (mostly), who represent the sheer determination of the human race to try and get it right no-matter the situation.
OK so this is only a mere snippet in the overall story-line, but it's an additional means by the creators, writers and visionaries to build on something solid, that is reliable, believable, inspiring and comforting that will stand firm and bond completely with Gene Roddenberry's vision.
In terms of the acting: Mary Wiseman is superb on every level. Her reaction to what for her is a 'First Contact' situation, is exactly what you'd expect from a young officer who understands protocol but has the ability to read a situation with natural restraint and heaps of humility as Jean-Luc Picard does. She makes it possible for us to put ourselves in the same situation, where we can see that we are dealing with a serious issue but that defensive overkill is not necessary. Sylvia Tilly is the best crew member on the ship to encounter this young queen who is confused, undecided, subject to seemingly overwhelming events that are 'bigger' than her. These two characters are a perfect match and I sincerely hope they meet again down the line.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the superb acting, the dazzling sets and it definitely feels like you're aboard a Federation Starship. When you are creating something that connects to the Star Trek universe you need to ensure you get it right both in the foreground and in the background, and I feel the cast and crew have done a superb job throughout. Ten stars from me.

Short in every way
AliensReservoir12 December 2018
They should not have called this "star trek".
Any other title would have been nice as it as nothing to do with star trek.
It is not that bad, it's average for a sci-fi.
But the different stories fall short IMHO as well as dialogue. Remove the special effect and it became very boring.
Over all I take it as a non Star Trek show and I prefer by far The Orville which has the spirit of Star Trek with some funny dialogue and situation

Remember Aeon Flux cartoon shorts?
jmhabel9 November 2018
It will all tie in together at some point and it may not matter. The point is more insight and a different perspective on what we know or will see. ST: Enterprise tried this and failed because people want continuity. This is why it's tied into ST: Discovery. Enjoy it for what it is, more Trek!
A little advice : -Please,change the uniforms !
dj-wookie9 October 2018
A sober dark and more realistic uniform,purple with black maybe,will bring an improvment to the overall look of the new shows,because the oversized characters,like Tilly, are looking almost disgusting in those thight uniforms,and the lack of the pockets is becoming ridiculous,don't forget ,the trekkies are geeks and they like the scientific approach .
Not the Trek I know
photorooster8 November 2018
I love Sci-Fi and have been watching Star Trek since the mid-60's. I like to think I have a tolerance for even marginal episodes on the big screen and the little screen at home, after all if you don't support the programs you like, they may go away. That being said the1st offering in this short series is downright awful. It was painful to watch. I pray that whom ever is at the helm of the Star Trek franchise at CBS will honor the series and its fans by improving the stories. We deserve it.
Great short Trek Stories.
mummynow23 September 2023
These short stories are nice little side stories embellishing on many of our favourite episodes of current series in production.
Cleverly written and well acted short masterpieces delivering their points clearly, directly and in a class manner worthy of the Star Trek brand. Whether it be a humorous jaunt or a serious dilemma.
The quality of production, stories, acting and ideals depicted are also indicative of Star Trek.
The Trouble with Edward had me in hysterics. How many of us have an Edward in our lives?
I hope to see more of these thoughtful additions with all the new Trek series to come.

cargopants_soldier5 January 2019
Well, i liked the episode but i hate the lack of continuation of the Star Trek universe,so please mr. Alex K. don't say again this show is a continuation of the other shows,be courageous and tell us the truth .Another thing i don't like are the new look of the aliens,because they are looking and acting almost the same to me,i cannot tell what character is a Klingon,what character is Tellarite or what character is from other race .I'll give 9 stars for acting ,7 stars for humor (i hate lbgt jokes ,they are so cheap) ,0 stars for canon inconsistency and 7 stars for the story.By the way Harry Mudd wil never be a great vilain ,like Khan,Gul Dukat,Doctor Soran ,The Son'ja leader or Borg Queen,so i don't understand the use of him in a new story.
A list of the main complains
albino_blackhole7 January 2019
I like the series but here is the list of the main complais about this series and DSC from the fans :
-the uniforms are not military enough.
-the characters are too goofy and too fat (NBSG) did not gather so many fans with characters like Tilly ,Stamets or Mudd,so the aesthethics of the characters counts.
-Non-canon Klingons,Saurians,Andorians and Tellarites (they were upgraded in Enterprise before so there is no need for another upgrade).
Too many fat and LBGT characters,this kind of characters are not good if they are introduced with the force in the story (let's not forget they itroduced the LBGT characters after a slaughter in a Bar ).
-The lack of real heroes,like Picard,Worf,Kirk or Riker.
-The lack of realistic characters,probably those character are realistic enough only for the american continent and two or three more advandced countries from the rest of the world ,but for the rest of the Earth the pretty much stink,and not because they are evil or something like that.
-The series doesn't have any serious and sober charactrer.
-The lack of the ordinary species like the Ferengi,Betazoids,Cardassians,Borgs,Romulans....
-The lack of real handsome straight characters like Seven,Jadzia,Riker,Reed,Paris,nuKirk...the young fans need those type of characters.
-Forcing the canon,with characters like Burnham ..
There is still no understanding of Star Trek. Cavalier and out of it's depth
oldbluebox-5313311 October 2018
More rubbish from people who do not understand Star Trek. Characters who do not adhere to the duty of their rank, visual effects that make no sense, stories that feel as if they were written by a classroom of children passing around paper without seeing the previous lines, and ultimately nothing to offer other than a poor understanding of the franchise we're all fans of, but yet to have seen any evidence of. There is no understanding of how Trek operates.
Here's the secret sauce to Star Trek's success, presumably they need it spelled out to them because it's clear STD is so far from success that it's living on borrowed time:
The ship is the body, and the main characters are aspects of human psychology. The logical to analyse situations without emotion, the emotional to analyse situations without logic, the tactical to react to threats, the Doctor to repair the mind, the Engineer to repair the body, the navigator to direct the body, and the communications officer to make contact with other people. The captain is the conscious mind making decisions based upon the input of all these senses.
This is the basis of every Star Trek show across the 20th and 21st centuries, and the reason for it's success. Whether the logic is Spock, or the android who does not understand emotion, or the changeling who has no experience with relationships OR emotions. Tech changes, so does futurism. That's why one generation of Trek hands off to the next, set even further into the future, but connected to the last. It doesn't try to rewrite the last iteration because it shamelessly wants to cash in on it.
It matters not if the engineer is a white Scotsman, a blind American man of color, an Irishman, or a mixed race Klingon/Human woman. They are all representative of the same, the physical body's sometime miraculous ability to heal, as well as it's functional limits.
The navigator moves us forward in our lives where there is nothing in our way, and tries to avoid danger where possible, but sometimes can no longer move onward, which risks coming about and going backwards to the person we used to be against our will. In the past this was depicted as a Russian character averse to danger, and a child genius with no experience of danger.
The communications officer is the voice to the outside world, portrayed in the past by a man of color, a woman of color, an Asian woman, and a fresh-out-of-starfleet Asian man. The emphasis has been on a typecasting stereotype of a perceived foreign person who might have better understanding of languages and communications. Their role is to not only understand what other people are saying, but also how to best respond to them.
They all report to the captain, the conscious mind, where everything is evaluated, struggles occur, and ultimately command what to do.
It is within these characters that all the human drama of Star Trek takes place. Each part of the human psyche features in each episode in various measures, ie the lead characters feature in various episodes in order to approach moral dilemmas.
You simply can't do that by following one character. Sure, have an episode like "Data's Day" that focuses on one of them for a glimpse of what their world is like after getting used to them for a few seasons and actually wanting to see it to expand their character. Data's case a struggle without emotion, unable to understand how to react in a serious relationship.
BUT not for multiple episodes, or in Mikey Spock's case the whole show every week, week in, week out. That's NOT how to make a character endeering. What kind of idiot thinks that any viewer would want to spend all of their time with a stranger, at the expense of getting to know anyone else for the entire season? For goodness sake, what is wrong with these writers? Do they not have any friends?
Back to STD. None of the above applies to STD in any way at all. There is simply no knowledge or understanding of the format in ANY way whatsoever. The people involved have been appointed by transient board room directors due to their work in complete contradiction to this franchise's successes.
The writers are not suitable for this franchise at all, the reason for Trek's success completely escapes them, and it frustrates them why they are doing what they consider to be their best work, and yet have managed to alienate (no pun intended) the entire franchise's substantial audience of millions. Again, that is millions of people who either don't want this, or have lost interest in caring.
Star Trek has never, ever been about bombastic action scenes, and outrageously obsessive reliance upon visual effects. You can find that anywhere on any day of the week in any movie multiplex. STD isn't at all case of brining new people into the Trek franchise, as it has done so successfully in the past, STD is in fact a case of giving the franchise away to generic industry professionals so they can create a generic show for a generic audience. It is then of course no wonder at all that Star Trek's audience have not only abandoned the show and the television studio, but now actively pushing for cancellation altogether with a complete embargo of STD as far as they are concerned. With such a large unsatisfied fanbase clearly outnumbering the limited audience of STD not only in volume, but also in passion, STD can only go one way, cancellation, while CBS desperately try to reel in Patrick Stewart to take Discovery's place as CBS All Access's last hope at creating relevant content.
In fact it's become public knowledge that these "short treks" have been made to secure additional funding needed to finish off production of STD's second season. Production stopped at episode five, and yet it's full 14 episode run is supposed to be airing in just 11 weeks time. As has also become apparent recently, Netflix refused to pay the $30m price for these shorts, and so it simply hasn't aired at all internationally. STD's options are now reduced to virtually nothing. There's no money to finish the season, there's virtually no one willing to pay for it, and even fewer actually watching it.
One thing however is profusely clear. The various Star Trek shows are all a product of their time, be it visually or thematically. While a fun part of Trek lets us occasionally use time travel as a means to grab a bit of nostalgia and juxtapose modern sensibilities with those of, or depicted in the past, it's an absolute impossibility to do so as a prequel for more than one or two episodes without running into virtually unlimited problems ending in the same ridicule, much less total violation of continuity and canon in literally every frame. There are very few Star Trek fans who don't care about canon, let that fact inform your future productions.
Speaking of which, while Trek fans 5 years ago would have jumped at a chance to see Picard in action once again to hand over the reigns to a new crew of the Enterprise, now we are so concerned at CBS's utter misunderstanding and mishandling of Star Trek that we really would rather that you didn't go anywhere near Sir Patrick while the writers and producers you selected for STD have any influence whatsoever.
We have no trust in your ability to select the right people for the job, and we don't have any genuine belief that Star Trek is anything other than a brand name to be exploited. You had a Trek fan as a show runner, and you fired him. You then went on to fire another show runner, and writers walked out too. Much like the productions, Trek fandom has been expunged from the production teams too.
Alex "I'm a real writer" Kurtzman will be the permanently documented individual who destroyed Star Trek, and I'm sure many years from now he will blame others for the choice of putting him there in the first place.

Anson Mount is perfect
bononista18 November 2019
Anson Mount is the perfect Captain Pike just as he was the perfect Black Bolt. He can deliver so much with just a look, and his delivery of dialog is completely believable. I wish he were going to be in Discovery Season 3 or that he and the crew of The Enterprise introduced in Discovery Season 2 were given their own show.. Anything Anson Mount is in is required viewing, he's awesome and completely underrated.
Teenage sitcom? Shut up Wesley
Tri_Indie6 October 2018
You kinda get the impression that this is designed to be watched by teens on a Saturday morning, aside from the swearing that is.
Once again STD has no idea who it's target audience is supposed to be. It's gone from failing to be dark and gritty, to failing to be light hearted and charming. Weird.
Great Extra insight

Really wish they'd make more
msmoonshine18 June 2022
I have all the shows that they're pumping out now this is the one that I keep waiting for, with none in sight.
It's a shame, I really enjoyed these. I find that it gave them an ability to explore something in a funny or more in-depth manner. With the shorter time constrain the writers and actors had to be more precise rather than rambling.
Like I said I really hope they consider reopening the shorts and putting more in.

Wow! once you peal back the action and visual effects all you are left with is generic two dimensional planks of wood trying to deliver lines.
which is what everyone has been trying to tell the people running it but they wont listen. i write this three days since it was put on all access, and there are just 11 reviews, 7 of them are 1 star reviews and 32 total votes cast, which is no wonder because you have to be in the USA and have an all access subscription to watch it. finally some decent indication of the actual viewing figures, and they are really bad.
