At one point do a creative team decide that the annoying "stock" music should be so loud that it distracts you from the story?

Firstly, I love this show, season 1 was awesome and 2 was great as well.I have watched every Star Trek, and although I am not a trekky, for pure escapism I have loved most of what I have seen. What can I say, that has not been said before and by others. The Michael Burnham character is the worst character I have ever seen brought to screen. Just when you think there is a hope and an above audible whisper, the writers regress and try and sell us all on stoicism. The actress is in part at fault here, her frustrating delivery and expressions are just becoming tiresome.

There is a rich tapestry of characters on the Discovery, yet we have barely discovered any of them in depth. Instead we read and re-tread the Michael Burnham story and frankly, it's not as interesting as the arrogant writers seem to think. Sorry but Michael Burnham is the Ja Ja Binks of the Star Trek universe. Helen Reddy once sang, I am WOMAN here me ROAR, not whisper speak and cry!! Michael Burnham is the Tina Yothers (Jennifer form Family Ties), if it was a Jennifer-centric episode, I would tune out.

The only way forward is to KILL OFF Michael Burnham and let us explore the galaxy with a richer tapestry of characters.

A Netflix movie is never anything to be excited about, but sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised. The Babysitter was one of those sneaky surprise hits. Admittedly not a great movie by a long shot, but entertaining. Now this was just trying to hard to be 'relevant' and millennial friendly. FAILED on so many levels. Way to much CGI blood and gore and no real substance at all. Seriously what were they thinking. McG really needs to grow up, he is not as in touch with his audience as he thinks if this is what he considers to be entertainment.
