They really have to ditch the Burnham for everything nonsense. This episode it revolved around her, the ridiculous story of her being Spocks sister, and her mom. I'm actually surprise dot hear people enjoyed this episode, it felt like one I'd never want to watch ever again.


I think one of the issues around Discovery is that they managed to shrink the galaxy so much. Instant travel makes distances irrelevant. Burnham is tied to every event in the galaxy, so stories feel small. There is no exploration, only visiting places they know, or have a relation to. We've jumped 1000 years in the future, and it's the same old same old. No expansion into new aliens, just a rehash of old grievances. It's weird to give them such a huge new vista, then bundle it all back up.


Also, The Burn..Burnham. Coincidence? probably not. Gotta have her name tied to the biggest even in history, too.
