    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.

              I just double checked. She technically disappears between the episodes An Obol for Charon and Saints of Imperfection, but the scene from Obol she’s in is directly continued in Saints with no time skip at all. Basically, if you take the scenes in engineering from those two episodes and watch them in real-time, Reno would simply vanish when cutting from one camera angle to another.

      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.
