I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying something I don't. Lots of people love American Idol and the Voice, but those shows aren't for me and the fact that a lot of people watch them doesn't indicate quality to me.
That said, I will reiterate that I am enjoying S2 a lot. Pike is as good as it gets and the annoying characters are getting less annoying for the most part.
I agree. What others like is not up to me. I'm more on about how Entertainment Journalism seems to be for sale.
I, too, like Mount in the role. The only issue I have is that, as captain, he should not let subordinates steamroll him. It's one thing to welcome the input, quite another to interrupt.
I do hope we get to know some of the bridge crew better. S2 has been a bit better about that and I hope they go further.

I'm not sure you should ask for more character development. It appears to be hazardous to a character's health.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Don't worry. She'll get resurrected by the mycelial network. If not, just raise a stink on Twitter until the writers agree to bring her back.
Ugh. I don't want to see Burnham as a Captain. Martin-Green is just not good at acting, at least not in tjis role. I really don't enjoy her screen time...

Apparently the end of this season is going to be pretty significant as far as explaining how discovery fits in with established canon and the future:
Interviewer: Let’s talk about canon, if Patrick Stewart as Picard on his new show pulls up his computer, will all the events we have seen on Star Trek: [Discovery]…
Alex: You are asking me a very sneaky question right now, and I’m not going to answer it. I know what you are doing, and tell you what, I will answer it for you at the end of the season. Is that fair? I don’t want to ruin it.
We are entirely aware of everyone’s questions and criticisms; I’ve read everything, and I see where everyone’s like, ‘Well, the spore drive never existed!’ and ‘What, Discovery was never around!’ and all of those things, we’re totally aware. You will get an answer.
I think that the last few episodes will really close the circle for people. If we’ve done our job, what was on the page … I haven’t seen them yet, but what was on the page in the scripts, closes the circle; it answers the questions that are lingering and remaining for people of how we fit in. And I believe very strongly that it will leave people satisfied. … As someone who cares about continuity, to some degree, I was like, ‘If this doesn’t make people happy, I don’t know what else we can do.’

I would have agreed with you for much of season one but her acting and emotional has been some of the best I have ever seen in Star Trek for season 2.
I like Star Trek Discovery, but seriously have a sense of humour about the acronym, it's funny, not edgy .
It's lazy criticism and dismissal. Same as naming the Kelvin Timeline trilogy after the director of only two thirds of it.
It is not done for any of the other series so any abbreviations used other than the official ones (or MAs version using VOY and DIS) are used out of ignorance or edginess.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Yes, it's silly. It's also silly to let something so minor upset you. (not you specifically, but anyone who IS upset by it).
Did miss the part where I said I liked Discovery, I already like Season 2 of Discovery more then I liked the first half of any Star Trek series except for DS9, the greatest TV show in Television history.
I'm not a hater, but funny is funny. I know its not how the aconym is supposed, but when you her the words Star Trek Discovery, its what pops into the mind.

Your opinion may very well differ, that's okay. I find her still terrible, she's overacting in all the bad ways of Shatner, but with none of the redeeming qualities in my opinion. Her blank staring, the head tilting, her "on the verge of tears" face. I really, really can not even

She holds up the bulb, stands still, and the universe revolves around her. >_>

The creators behind Star Trek: Discovery have made significant efforts to remake Trek into something "fresh and modern". Ketwolski has an impartial and indepth analysis of the differences in camera shots, editing and even direction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGi8j_slU_E
However, it seems ST:D is moving away from "traditional Trek" and into "generic action". Many viewers and posters have noted similarities between the current season of Star Trek: Discovery and the Terminator movies. The issue is not just concepts and story beats being used; it is also camera shots and editing. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt56W-FSWS8
I recall watching a Red Letter Media episode of Half in the Bag where the hosts, Mike and Jay, comment on how "all Hollywood trailers are cut and edited to be nearly identical in presentation". This kind of laziness and inability to rise above other media is bringing down not only Star Trek: Discovery, but many shows and movies.

Hollywood in general is like this, now....they look at fans as liabilities and go "TRIBBLE 'em!" rather than than respect them.
I remember Mark Hamill talking about this, that they seem to not give a damn about the fans anymore.
A theory that season 3 of Discovery is going to be in the future. It's a really solid arguement and interesting. Makes me look forward to the final episodes even more.

Interestingly they didn't make reference to 'Calypso', which is ironic since it would probably support their theory.
Discovery would work so well as being Star Trek: Sliders since the Spore Drive is not limited to their own universe. If the Spore Drive was capable of time travel like it indicated in that Season 1 episode where they returned from the Mirror Universe, then there is no need for a time crystal. Just have Stamets plot a course for the future or a parallel universe and leave the sphere data there. Personally, I think that Discovery didn't return to their original universe, but a parallel universe that is 9 months ahead of their own since there is no indication that the Mycellial Network has anything to do with time travel.
They're not scared to introduce new stuff while still keeping previous canon in mind. That's good.
Some stuff is a little too over-the-top but that's simply the current state of "television". Not everything is for the fans, but that's okay if it doesn't go completely overboard.
At first mention of that red-angel I raised an eye-brow too. However, it turned out to be actually cool. Over-the-top, but fine.
Section-31 is basically the only thing I found to be the wrong choice for a "villain". Sure they would exist by that time, but they would not openly show themselves like that. But well, general audiences might not get it and are used to that "intrigues and conspiracies are everywhere" from other modern shows.
Timeline was never broken. DSC had nothing to fix.

So Discovery didn't need to stop Control from grabbing the sphere data to stop a timeline where all or almost all life in the galaxy was destroyed?
