Bashir was DS9's version of Troi - A character so bland that the writers never really figured out what to do with it. At least Troi finally got some decent stories late in the run when the producers finally started treating her as more than just cleavage (thanks Captain Jericho), but I don't feel like Bashir ever stood on his own two feet. O'Brien couldn't quite carry him in their episodes, but Garak could.
As far as the last episode of Discovery goes: 1. Having every Klingon scene spoken in Klingon is getting more annoying, not less. 2. I really hope they start to give us reasons to care about characters other than Burnham soon. Though at least Voq's story line is threatening to become somewhat interesting.
