I've tried this season, I'm about 2 episodes behind, but I agree with KTrain. I think that the writers are trying to address the issues of the previous season. But it just falls flat.

Its great that Michael knows all this stuff about her bridge crew, but we don't and they continue to be flat uninteresting and undefined characters. Now the actor that plays booker does feel like he's going throught the motions as he either has a bored face on, or a resting B face look of how the hell did my agent get me into this.



I'm not going to say that Martin-Green is a bad actress, she's not, but she doesn't fill a room like Shatner, or Stewart or Brooks.

The side characters that they do give stories to like Tilly or Stamets are a combination of annoying or just going through the motions.

They bought back Airiam, and it was like, she's still nothing.

The most interesting character is the new First Officer, and they literally had him spend a whole episode talking about how awesome Michael is to both her current and future self.

The storyline itself is interesting, the Villains could be really interesting, but they really haven't developed them very well. They have justifications supposedly, but they're not enough to make them sympathetic, and they're not strong enough at chewing scenery to make them real villains.

I guess I'm in this to the end, because I'm either hoping that Michael dies. Or Red Forman shows up in his time weapon and erases Discovery from time and we find out that without her the galaxy is a better place.

But we know she's going to end up as the head of the federation.
