All 4 Star Trek: Discovery seasons ranked from worst to best

2. Season 2

Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery is a thrilling warp-speed ride that rejuvenates the series with its welcome mix of action, heart, and a sprinkle of nostalgic Trek lore. This season is like a perfectly brewed cup of Earl Grey tea – familiar, and comforting, yet with a bold new twist.

The introduction of Captain Christopher Pike and a younger Spock breathed fresh life into the series, connecting it to the cherished legacy of the original series, Star Trek, and setting the tone and crew for the incredible series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The excitement as we fans watched these iconic characters navigate the uncharted territories of the Discovery universe, their stories entangling with the existing crew in a symphony of interstellar drama, was only turned into satisfaction as the characters we’ve all loved and grew up watching showed a new (and younger) side of themselves.

The narrative arc of season 2 is a rollercoaster of emotions and adventures, seamlessly weaving in elements of classic Star Trek lore with the edgy, modern storytelling that Discovery is known for. From the mysterious signals to the epic Red Angel storyline, each episode is packed with intrigue and character-driven plots that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The season dives deeper into the complexities of its characters, exploring their backgrounds and relationships, making them feel more real, and more relatable. It’s not just about the battles and the sci-fi spectacles – it’s the human (and alien) heart at the core of it all that truly makes season 2 stand out. This brilliant combination of old and new, of space-faring action and deep emotional journeys, is what cements this season as a stellar example of sci-fi television done right.
