Re: DSC S2: Saints of Imperfection

@ Gil

How is this possibly right wing pandering with a whole gay couple kissing on screen, not to mention characters using f bombs? For me, this is far removed from classic Trek, and far, far removed from anything remotely right wing. Not to mention the lead is a black woman.

That being said, Discovery needs to take a long hard look at Michael Burnham. Literally every character makes decisions revolving around her, and is only shown in relation to her. When has Pike ever had a one on one with any of the crew besides Burnham. Besides Tilly and Stamets, which of the characters talk to each other without Burnham?

Where is the O'Brien and Bashir of this universe?
Where is the Kim and Parris?

Before Voyager even got to episode 2, we knew Tom Parris went to prison, and what he went to prison for. We knew Tuvok was undercover in the Maqui. We knew Chakotay had defected from Starfleet. We knew Harry was a happy go lucky kid. And don't even get me started on how much we knew of DS9's characters. What do we know about the rest of this crew besides Burnham, Saru, Tyler and Tilly? They haven't bothered giving any other character a backstory.

End of rant
