    I'm actually enjoying this season much more than the first one. It's

    I agree, & am glad there will be a 3rd season.

    I'm still wondering why Burnham is the only crewmember whose uniform has
    silver piping when everyone else's is gold.

    It's a warning flag: "If this crewman disagrees with your orders,
    she will Vulcan Nerve-Pinch you and do what she darn well pleases
    while you're unconscious."

    As to why such a person would be trusted to be on a starship in
    any capacity ... I have no clue. Perhaps they explained it at
    some point, but I don't get that CBS special pay TV thing.
    I tried to think up something that might approach a logical
    explanation for why Star Fleet would consider her worth the
    risk, or even let her out of prison, and came up empty.

    Wasn't it because some Captain had a good feeling about her?

    I guess it was too much to hope for that they'd cancelled Discovery
    and banned Kurtzman from any further involvement in Star Trek.

    At least it's contained into one platform I'm not even tempted to access. >>
    Gave up on it after seeing episode 2 of the second season.

    It's so awful!


    They still try to sell it as Prime Universe. It is not!
