Where this series fails, compared to all other Star Trek series, is that they all were based on stand alone episodes, sometimes linking back to previous shows, but if one episode was so-so or crap, next week's could be excellent. When this starts out with an ongoing storyline that is unengaging from episode 1, you know it's not gonna get better! Also, as others have already mentioned, the discovery crew are from 900yrs in the past. Burnham piloting anything would be like putting Amelia Earhart in an F16! Beyond credibility. I also agree about the 'kids' comments. I call it the "Scrappy Doo Syndrome"! Introducing kids into anything is a death knell. I f/f through a lot of the last series, looks like the same again.....
