Star Wars isn’t really SciFi. It’s just Wizards In Space. The Sci-Fi is never really the thrust of the story, it’s just the backdrop.

The holograms used before TOS, hand-wavey “let’s forget all this ever happend and send you to the future”, extreme intensity that Michael Burnham says EVERYTHING with, everything being SO FREAKING DARK and ret-conning Star Trek lore (I’m related to Spok) is all what put me off - I just had to stop watching. Thing is, I had NO IDEA the actress that played Michael was Ronda in New Girl! - WOW , so different!! I thought she couldn’t act, it turns out she was given terrible material and direction. (all this in IMHO).

I gave up in Discovery. PLEASE tell me she didn’t stick with “Let’s Fly”

But what about the blue ticks?

Yes, I was very confused about the whole situation, especially as there was no sexual chemistry between them before or after and they just abandoned the children and never spoke of them again. Like …“you do you think the kids are doing?”

But did they make space salamanders?
