    Discovery has some of my favorite characters of any series. The broader stories might be weak, but Doug Jones as Saru was amazing.

        Really? I thought Stamets was the worst character. It like they sat down and said “ok, we need a character that’s gay and neurotic” and then stopped writing and didn’t flesh him out at all

          Stamets grew on me over time. I don’t know why. Possibly because he was often the only competent character on the ship. As neurotic as he can be, he’s still less neurotic than season 1 Saru and has better decision making ability than Burnham.

            This is accurate

            has better decision making ability than Burnham

            This too. This is also accurate for every star trek character except maybe gul ducat.

      Discovery has some pretty good, a few extremely annoying and a whole lot of very boring characters who’s name I wouldn’t even remember if you told me.

      The worst thing about it though, is that it’s pessimistic, dark and over dramatic.
