Huge Star Trek fan. TRYING to give this show a chance. Season one mostly sucked. This season, the addition of Pike, improved things a great deal. Thing is they then put him on the back burner mostly. Michael Burnham seems to be the main focus of the show. That would be fine except she does not seem to be "all that" interesting or entertaining, and seems they keep forcing her into situations. Tilly for the most part, is the only one that seems relatable. Learn from the Orville. If you do not make a show entertaining and have an ensemble cast that viewers like, the show is simply NOT great to watch.
The Klingon stuff. OMG, it is dreary and my wife and I laugh at how literally EVERYTHING on their world seems Black/Orange. It is like a child is creating the Klingon scenes. And they are boring. So tedious to see actors struggle with all that prosthetics and their voices ehhh... Just torture to watch any Klingon scenes. The show grinds to a halt.
The show seems to think that people live in constant "emergencies" or just from one drama to another. The pacing makes the show seem like they do not trust the actors or character to simply LIVE on a starship and do daily work and activities. This world is in constant red alert, and tension, and Burnham just looks so uncomfortable. They need a better lead actress/actor.
Do these people ever eat, just hang out, relax or have fun? Are they constantly just at work and run from one emergency to another and have no down time?? I think the Orville makes a far more realistic view of being on a Star ship. I feel like the bridge crew on Discovery are just random people. I feel nothing for most of them. No sense of relatability or no feeling of respect or care. Just random characters. Guys you got all the money in the world, make a GREAT TV SHOW!
