The production levels are through the rough in this show! Every episode looks like a movie. Visually, it's been one hell of a ride. They do seem to be consolidating the idea of a grittier, bitter Star Trek with Discovery. And, quite frankly, I've given up sort of scoffing at it ("this is Star Wars in Star Trek uniforms!") and I'm all on board, now. I like this show, it's growing on me, despite its apparent disregard for the essence of Star Trek. At least I consider it to be better than the movies (I wonder what other Star Trek fans think of this...?).
A giant menacing tardigrade acting like a puppy was something disturbing to see. A giant menacing tardigrade acting like the ship's navigator was just plain weird. But I'm definitely enjoying the science side of the show (it's a science-fiction show with some actual science thrown in, even if it's, well, fictional). Hey, I liked how they considered Elon Musk a visionary, by then ;) People seem to not be enjoying the Klingons, but I'm genuinely interested in their part of the story. It has betrayal, love, pride, shame... All the ingredients of a good telenovela! :D Now I'm just waiting for the Borg to appear so I can forget about any other villain on this show. It's very unlikely, given that TNG was the first to encounter them (I think), but since they seem to be getting rather flexible regarding the Star Trek lore, I'm getting my hopes up.
