"Turns out when you a) kill your good figure of authority two episodes in and b) replace them with a morally grey scapegoat you eventually reveal is an alt-universe, MAGA-quoting, colossal space-tool, you don't really have the time to get into the heady moral questions of the day. So it's a good job Star Trek: Discovery is changing things up for season two.

I would have loved to see a (well written) Star Trek show based on the original pilot with Pike and crew. Not sure how the introduction of Pike is going to work out on STD. Seems like another diversion.

Glup….!
