I'm not downvoting either of you, and I hope this doesn't sound like me being argumentative, I just want to know what you're seeing in Discovery that I haven't seen in all the other Trek series (see me other comment in this thread, I guess). Morality lectures are central to Trek, IMHO.

Placing the bland Michael Burnham centrepoint isn't something ST did before. The doc was fine, his partner nonsensicle, the redhead was ANNOYING and I've forgotten the rest - no, I don't really care to spend too much time doing research - I just want to fucking vent. Nor did earlier ST FINALLY introduce another, possibly interesting character (the Freeza looking one) to IMMEDIATELY kill her off. My gods, I was fucking pissed. Then that one episode where a bomb was going to go off and someone had to be "left behind" or some stupid shit? There was NO reason to do that. And don't get me fucking started on the LENS FLARE! THAT'S THE MOST UNSTARTREK THING I'VE EVER SEEN!

At least the customes looked pretty cool.

What about Micheal Burhnam "being centerpoint" makes it woke?

Oh, I thought we were talking about things you see in STD that you don't see in other Treks. I never mentioned anything about Woke.

Alright, fair point - I never watched old Trek though (blasphemy, I know).
