I agree, many of the ideas here claiming the show is SJW simply don't pan out. I went ahead and purchased CBS all access to support the show.
yeah i don't get the SJW feel either with the show, i mean that's how star trek has always been even with the original in the late 60's, it wasn't an all white all male crew, it was always mixed and that was the point of the show especially in an era where tv wasn't like that so i just see them sticking to what the core of star trek always represented.. but as i've said what made the show bad was always the writing and characters themselves, not who was playing them. if they had kept it a stand alone show that pre-dated anything related to the vulcan's and spock i think the show could of been good. personally i'd of rather seen the show start off from the beginning of star fleet and how the whole thing was created and how they began exploring space, i don't really care about the few years leading up to where the original star trek series began.
Its basically "The Michael barnum show" which a shame because as others mentions tilly and some of the other characters deserve more spotlight. Its so bad I think theres a least two bridge crewmen we havent even been introduced to yet. The show pretty much lost me at this episode towards the end of the first season that I wann say is a time travel episode where MB and the meathead behind her in the clip fall in love over and over. I cant talk myself into watching anymore. Ill wait til the season is over and see if the reviews note any changes. Im not hopeful.
Ive never really watched Star Trek: Enterprise but I started watching it over the last couple days and even though its considered rough by Star Trek Standards its still a vast improvement over Discovery. Its at least "Interesting".
completely agree, even though Tilly is suppose to be that annoying super smart kid with no social skills everyone loves to hate she seems way more interesting then everyone else in the show. also like the episode where she has to fake being the captain.
S2E01 you pretty much get introduced by name to everyone on the bridge but that's as far as i was willing to go, that episode made my brain hurt.
