Lethe

I will admit that as much as I am enjoying STD (What a crappy acronym...LOL) it didn't really pan with the ST vibe: Far too dark, too much politics, too brooding and selfish for Roddenberry to enjoy, I'm sure..

And while episodes up 'till now were fine, as a modern, "trendy" gritty and dark Sci Fi series go, this episode finally brought Gene's ideas of gallantry and selflessness to the table.

Here we see a crew acting far more like their counterparts on the other series than in episodes up until this one.

An all-round pleasing episode.

The show is very good, IN MY OPINION. If you hate every episode so much, please do us all a favor and stop watching. It is completely mind-blowing the idiocy behind watching a show you detest and posting your insipid opinions about it.

Everybody seems to recomnend this series to DS-9 fans,but as a HUGE fan of DS-9, i recommend to my mates to stay away from this dreadfull Star Trek (..visual only ?!?..) remake,because the Klingons and their everything and the new Starfleet uniforms are absolutely WRONG.Probably the producers and the staff were drunk when they created all those things (lol).I want to ask them if they watched even one of the 4 TNG era series before starting the production of this show.

I thought this was well done. We get to look into the past and get a fix on Burnham's transition to Starfleet. We also see the nutty Captain getting found out. The Klingons are not to be trusted and a trap is set. We also find out who the brother of Burnham is.

I thought this was very good, perhaps the best episode thus far, it was an emotionally charged, character driven story. There was something almost old school about this one, the narrative and direction seems to have changed somewhat to the first batch of episodes, the tone was somewhat darker, I also feel that the characters are more settled, Isaacs shining through once again for me.

It was so good to have a Vulcan driven story, for once it wasn't about battling the Klingons.

Very good, very slick production values.
