Discovery has done such an awful job of character development that I literally have forgotten most of them.

Saru - Really has nothing to do and this romance angle seems to be utterly forced.
Detmer - I'll give credit that they're trying with her. But really they ramped her through instant forgiveness for Michael wrecking her life. To recovering from PTSD in two seconds, to looking dumb with Georgio, to now the Han Solo of the crew.
Kovich - Fine, he's cool
Stamets - Does he really have a story anymore, besides screaming Scottyisms and . . . .
Culber - They're working hard on developing him. After him spending last year just being an annoying doctor.
Linus - I had to look him up, thus the chair. He's like android lady who nobody cared about when she turned rogue and died and then came back as a nice table.
Reno - I don't understand the point of her, I think its a running joke that she's friends with someone, shows up and does some deadpan lines and runs out the door with a pile of cash screaming "Start the Car".

That’s why I would get then off Discovery and onto Picard. Their storylines on Discovery are pale, but I still find them more likeable than the new guys on Picard. They feel closer to TNG characters than the new guys. Even the minor characters like Linus, Reno, Kovich that you seldom see have more of a TNG aura.
