I can't imagine trying to defend this slog of a show. Saru, Georgiou, and Stamets (after he chilled out) are my only reasons for watching this hot garbage. It has very few redeeming qualities.
Completely forgot this was a thing. I don’t dislike Section 31 as much as some, but it gets me more Michelle Yeoh, who was one of the very few bright spots on Discovery, so I’ll take it.
Came across this article, and it’s a very interesting take on how Star Trek has changed with the times, and how modern audiences seem to have a harder time trusting institutions or imagining Trek’s utopia.
While I overall like SNW (like, not love), Pike seems more interested in being a friend to his crew (at least the senior officers) rather than being an effective leader who demands nothing but the best from his crew. Picard and Janeway were great at this. They were friendly enough with their crew, but maintained enough professional distance to not get too chummy. Sisko less so, but he knew how to walk the line between friend and commanding officer.
