I love it. But I keep it to myself because star trek online forums are pretty aggressive when you say you like it.

What I saw was ok from a plot perspective (for me). So the whole premise was nice and to me it fit into Star Trek. But as I just complained in another comment: I couldn't cope with the amount of crying and the way they forced drama into the story.

Burnham is raised by Vulcans which is used when it suits the plot (then she's extremely analytical and objective) but then suddenly turns into an emotional mess when they want to portray drama. That just feels .... off. Also the other officers. I should believe that these are the best of the Star Fleet, top of their class, trained for war but then they falter in the middle of a mission because their lover/friend/whatever gets hurt or dies? That just doesn't fit.

Maybe I zoned that out from previous Star Trek (because it's been a while ...), but in my mind the characters there were a lot more stable and professional. They all had their individual quirks and mannerisms, but during missions they more or less got their shit together.

Crying alien baby breaks warp and Ensign First Officer Captain Tilly... That series is hard to enjoy...

@MaxHardwood @aksdb And the computer refuses to disclose crucial information because it has feelings. :eyeroll:
