Star Trek Discovery: Star backs critical fans!

• “Star Trek: Discovery” is regularly criticized because the concept of the series is very different from the original series.
• Now star Sonequa Martin-Green comments on the criticism of the fans and gives them backing.
• Martin-Green understands the criticism and hopes that one day it will still be able to change the fans’ minds.

While “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is being acclaimed by fans worldwide, “Star Trek: Discovery” is still taking criticism from fans even with a forthcoming season 5. Many fans of the “Star Trek” universe find the story, driven by emotional characters and spanning entire seasons, too far removed from what they love about “Star Trek”.

“Star Trek: Picard” is also criticized by fans because the “Star Trek” series at that time were not about action or emotional drama, but about philosophical and often political conflicts in space. Each episode had a self-contained story.

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ star Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Michael Burnham, has now spoken to the Radio Times about the criticism and reveals that she can understand the fans.

The fans of the franchise and the fans of ‘Discovery’ are very intellectual and, above all, loyal. They’re very intelligent people who have such a deep passion and love for this franchise, they kind of own ‘Star Trek’. They have carried it for so long and it means a lot to them.
That’s why their voices deserve to be heard, and we value their opinions, even if they don’t agree with ours. Even when they criticize, it’s like, ‘I understand where your criticism is coming from – it’s because it means so much to you.’

“I understand [die Kritik]. I hear you. But maybe I can change your mind. and if not, then that’s okay too – that’s perfectly okay,” the actress once again explains her personal position.
