Star Trek - New Series January 2017
You are being a bit harsh. I think you need more than a few episodes to really care about characters in a show and feel some attachment to them. I can guarantee that if Sulu or Chekhov were killed off just a few episodes in, nobody would have batted an eye and would be a footnote in ST:TOS. People only care about these old characters as much as they do because they had 80+ episodes + movies to get invested in them and are only looking back with nostalgia-vision. I think you are giving up too early on this show. It’s not that bad.
That said, I was kind of confused by mirror Lorca. Since he was a rebel in the mirror universe, shouldn’t that have made him a good guy in the regular universe?
I guess they could have easily kept Lorca around if they played it that way.
