-Watching captain Lorca i started to think how much i like an officer like Riker who knows his crew well enough to put his life in their hands in a crisis situation,an officer who can be a good friend but also a good leader in the same time.The complexity of the characters reminds me about the ones from Deep Space Nine,but that series had a dark tone mixed with a dark humor which makes the show much pleasant to watch .Probably this series is one of the best i ever saw ,but ,because the Producers changed the Klingons this series is the worst Star Trek show i ever saw ,even Star Trek:Enterprise is better,because it's easy to re-create something than dealing with certain restrictions due to the parameters imposed by the story (the look and the behavior of the The Motion Picture's Klingons in this case).It's too bad the Producers are not aware about how disappointing it is for the fans too see that kind of changes,because many of us liked even since we were children to imitate the races from shows like Star Wars or Star Trek.For us changing the Klingons is like changing Chewie in to a horse .I still believe this series is a REMAKE of the original universe ,because the changes are becoming bigger.

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.

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.

This one was quite interesting from a character perspective with focus on Burnham, Sarek and Lorca.

The most compelling element of the plot was the development of Lorca. There wasn't a great deal confirmed but there were many hints that there are big secrets to be revealed, particularly during his interaction with another character.

Sarek and Burnham's relationship and katra connection was heavily in focus, with some psychological themes around parent-child relationships addressed. This for me was okay, but done in a fairly uninspired way with more heavy exposition. I don't have a problem with this revisionist approach to the Sarek/Spock family history but it needs to be for the sake of something special, which so far it isn't. The flashback sequence where Sarek fights the telepathic connection and to visualise it, they show a physical fight between the two characters that feels very forced. I might be wrong but I have a picture of the film crew in my head shooting the scene as nothing but a dialogue sequence before someone pipes up and says "you know what would be really cool, if they actually fight right here" and nobody had the courage to tell them it's actually a bit silly.

The Klingon scene near the end felt very Game Of Thrones and done in a way to maximise shock value. For me it didn't add enough to the story to justify losing the potential family audience, but I think that ship had sailed in the previous episodes.

On a positive note all the performances were great as always, along with the visuals and effects.

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.
