The biggest irritant to me was that they had Michael as such an overpowering expert on all things that basically you always felt that the other crew members were there to be some kind of weird foil for her.


I mean how many times did she cut off Tilly or Stamets when they were brain storming ideas with a technobarble solution that implied we're doing it my way.


What I liked about the other Star Treks except for the last year of TNG, and Voyager, and Discovery is that they were very much ensemble shows, where every member of the crew was important and contributed. In Discovery it was very much the Michael Show, sure they would throw a bone every once in a while to other crew members but the main string was Michael had all of the brilliant crew saving solutions. In the last year of TNG it was the Data and Picard show. Riker was there to echo the Captains orders and play the trumbone or whatever, Worf to take a beating, Beverly to stuff, and Troi to do stuff. Voyager was really the Janeway 7 of 9 show.


At least with Picard we know from the start that this is all Picard, there really is no crew, the other characters are there to service Picard in this adventure.
