What is Lorca’s background and what makes him so different from what we typically think of a Star Fleet officer being?
You don’t want to be asking about things that get revealed during the show. But he’s a guy who’s seen a lot of action. He’s seen a lot of war. He’s been affected by it. Does it make him cold or does it make him efficient? Does it make him unsentimentally brilliant at strategy or does it make him inhuman? He’s seen what death can do, and he’s seen what happens when the enemy wins, and that has affected all of his decisions.
I find this line very interesting. Since the war has only been going on for about six months, and the Federation was at peace for a long time prior to this, what could he be talking about in regards to the enemy winning? Could he perhaps be a future version of himself who has replaced his younger self so that he could try to change things in a X-Men: Days of Future Past kind of way? Something else maybe?

It's just too far removed from Star Trek. Both in themes and the cinematography. It still could be salvaged, but it requires wilder and wilder speculation (basically Lorca and Discovery need to be stopped, all research ended and classified - and I don't know how the heck to fix the Klingons).
You realise Lorca is meant to be in the wrong right? It seems to be escaping a lot of peoples notice that neither Burnham's attempted actions in episode 1 or Lorca and his whole set up are meant to be in the slightest bit heroic or portrayed. You know, directly within the themes of Star Trek in a way even DS9 often missed.
It seems people are deliberately blinding themselves in order to have something to complain about. Burnham is the main character, not Lorca, she is sticking to her principles and to Starfleet ideals (so far anyway). It's her we're meant to follow, not Lorca.
And, no. Discovery needs to continue its mission obviously. Lorca was right about one thing, the war needs to end and the Federation needs to win it. If you can stop it by teleporting a hundred ships directly to Kronos on a magic stream of space fungus then do so. It's not like he's actually developing a bio-weapon (as far as we can tell anyway).
so she dies slower as the batteries fail, alone and practically invisible, unimaginably far from help. Great thought there.
I can't believe anybody watching this as a competent adult needs it explaining to them. Discovery beamed her aboard after picking up the shuttle. For goodness sake, I doubt even Slone would let an innocent officer die in such a sloppy and pointless manner.
Again, people are deliberately blinding themselves in order to have something to complain about.
It was bad enough reading stupid comments by morons before we knew anything about the plots or anything, still having to read them afterwards feels almost like self harm to me now.
If what we think is true and the Discovery is indeed a Section 31 ship, Lorca's ruthlessness wouldn't come as a surprise. We know for a fact that Section 31 won't be stopped by anything or anyone. It's an organization that is pretty much build on the principle 'the ends justify the means'.
I very much doubt it's a S31 ship (it is just a ship of the line after all and not a custom build like the Vengeance) or even that it's on a S31 mission profile as a whole. I mean Lorca may be S31 but I'm certain the rest of the ship functions under the entire Starfleet Intelligence banner (the black badges) and not just a small section of it (S31 is a sub-section of SI after all).
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.

Not sure if anyone has brought it up, but Engineering is entirely made up of women and one jackass guy? Is this not a huge SJW cliche'? (Oh and one guy who's obviously being obscured by a piece of technology in the camera shot). I'm wondering if every male on TRIBBLE is just going to be some sort of out of touch misogynous punching bag for misandrists trying to get chance to throw a handful of rocks into the face of the perceived patriarchy.

I have nothing against women in STEM, but the nonsense in this show does not show women who are interested in Engineering. It's SWJ Kabuki dance with Michael going into that Jr. High locker room, and instead of sounding intelligent with a few sharp glances, the scenes were full ham fisted (this cafeteria seat is taken cliche') & (Rude unprofessional sarcasm cliche'). Also do you notice NOBODY has small talk? Cabin Fever. Can you tell if anyone is friends with anyone? I can't.

From my understanding, what we saw was not main Engineering, but an Engineering lab to create a biological FTL system. Physics is predominately male while Biology has a higher female interest. In the 23rd Century, they likely care more about achievements rather than affirmative action. Besides Discovery is a Starfleet, Starfleet Intelligence, or Section 31 ship so even if affirmative actions was done in the rest of the Federation, it wouldn't be done on Discovery.
As far as there being no small talk, try to have small talk with your friend when a criminal that has betrayed everything you believed in is in the room.

All of it is a little cheap in explanation. (not from you, the writers), as for an organic engine... A) Star Wars tech It was not biology specific as per the dialogue, they were interchangeable using quantum mechanics. C) They were going through code (As per the P.A.D.D.), not analyzing genetics. (however I could be partially incorrect due to the Star Wars style mumbo jumbo Midichlorian creatures)
Discovery's obviously a pure research setup, it's even pointed out that she's not a combat vessel. "Ship of the line" would be a combat vessel first in wartime (Like, say, NCC-1701 was) and would likely NOT be operating alone.
My mistake, on the definition however the Constitution Class is not a combat vessel in the slightest. It's an exploratory vessel on a five year mission of exploration in TOS that's sometimes diverted to undertake border patrol. Starfleet has built a grand total of two specific warships, the Defiant Class and the Dreadnought Class with a further one probably similar (the Prometheus Class)
and one could HOPE that Lorca would make sure the drifter was locked on and beamed aboard. OTOH, if it was a setup to recruit Burnham, one of the things he'd need to eliminate, would be witnesses that could foul it up or potentially complicate the situation. YOu don't have to kill/intimidate/blackmail a dead person.
I think you're stretching credulity to the absolute maximum. An action like that would make Lorca evil i.e. instantly rendering anything he ever says or does on the side of good moot. The Federation would then be unable to use any discovery of his due to what are essentially war crimes tainting the mission output.
No. You are the first. I don't think anybody else is that pathetic really.

I don't see what the problem is, all I saw were Starfleet officers until you spoke up. But if we have to talk about them being female, I typically find well written female characters to be far more interesting than male characters, starting all the way back with Ellen Ripley in Alien. (Note: while I do like her actress, I do not think Burnham is a well written character)
I suspect anyone who actually notices things like this is actually part of the social problem we are facing today. You see one man and a bunch of women, I just see people.

You know, directly within the themes of Star Trek in a way even DS9 often missed.
I can only hope that Lorca is truly and completely shown as in the wrong. I'm not yet sure that's what will happen though. And even if (in the next episode even), this show so far basically only relies on portraying those "non heroic" actions. That's a frakking bad start and just shouldn't happen in Star Trek. Remember that Star trek is meant to be inspirational?
It seems people are deliberately blinding themselves in order to have something to complain about. Burnham is the main character, not Lorca, she is sticking to her principles and to Starfleet ideals (so far anyway). It's her we're meant to follow, not Lorca.
I would argue Burnham isn't much better than Lorca. She's a criminal, keeps breaking rules and isn't most emotionally stable.
And, no. Discovery needs to continue its mission obviously. Lorca was right about one thing, the war needs to end and the Federation needs to win it. If you can stop it by teleporting a hundred ships directly to Kronos on a magic stream of space fungus then do so. It's not like he's actually developing a bio-weapon (as far as we can tell anyway).
Such a continuation would mean the Discovery wouldn't be forgotten or entirely classified. Basically everything that's happening in the show must end up being pointless if they try to maintain a semblance of being part of the original timeline.

It seems ambigious to me, but it could also be that his sense is tingling because Burnham is still aboard. I think his instincts exist to protect him, not remote people he doesn't need to worry about anymore.

No, I noticed, it's quite ridicilous. "A black woman on the bridge of a starship? What kind of affirmative action bovine excrement is that supposed to be."
Okay, I don't really know what they would have called it in the 60s or 70s, I think affirmative action might not have existed yet as a term.
Maybe:
"What kind of Communist bovine excrement is that?"
If you look for offense, you will definitely find it. It's really easy.
I mean, why are these attractive looking women? Are they just sex symbols and serve just to decorate the male ego?
What if these are just people serving in an engineering room/lab? Their sex doesn't matter. But as long as people suspect special motives behind their casting, or if people find special motives for the casting suspicious, it's a clear argument that if there were special motives for their casting, it's still necessary, because the lesson hasn't been learned yet. Women and Men are equal. They might not be equally likely to do the same things, but if they do something, then the only thing that matters is whether they are good at it. And if we don't know yet, we should assume competency for the tasks they are working on, regardless of gender.

Why bother? An amateur coder would still write code we could read and someone could point out as TRIBBLE or doing something specific.
The alternative is to do some weird nonsense graphical stuff that makes no sense and will never make sense, and everyone with a clue will know it as being nonsense. At least this way, the people with a clue can dig up what the code actually is and have some meta fun.

That's not all of it though. I got tired of typing it out.
What I found odd is that there have been only about 8,000 deaths so far. It seems the Battle of the Binary Stars was really the only major engagement in the war so far. The Klingons don't move quickly, it seems.

"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Basically, the prop guys stuck a bunch of total bullsh*t into the text of the treaty as a joke for pixel hunters. They name-drop several anime series and the Iran-Contra scandal, and wonder "why didn't anyone think about that eventuality when the bloody document was first drawn up",

It seems ambigious to me, but it could also be that his sense is tingling because Burnham is still aboard. I think his instincts exist to protect him, not remote people he doesn't need to worry about anymore.
No, I noticed, it's quite ridicilous. "A black woman on the bridge of a starship? What kind of affirmative action bovine excrement is that supposed to be."
Okay, I don't really know what they would have called it in the 60s or 70s, I think affirmative action might not have existed yet as a term.
Maybe:
"What kind of Communist bovine excrement is that?"
If you look for offense, you will definitely find it. It's really easy.
I mean, why are these attractive looking women? Are they just sex symbols and serve just to decorate the male ego?
What if these are just people serving in an engineering room/lab? Their sex doesn't matter. But as long as people suspect special motives behind their casting, or if people find special motives for the casting suspicious, it's a clear argument that if there were special motives for their casting, it's still necessary, because the lesson hasn't been learned yet. Women and Men are equal. They might not be equally likely to do the same things, but if they do something, then the only thing that matters is whether they are good at it. And if we don't know yet, we should assume competency for the tasks they are working on, regardless of gender.

Why bother? An amateur coder would still write code we could read and someone could point out as TRIBBLE or doing something specific.
The alternative is to do some weird nonsense graphical stuff that makes no sense and will never make sense, and everyone with a clue will know it as being nonsense. At least this way, the people with a clue can dig up what the code actually is and have some meta fun.

That's not all of it though. I got tired of typing it out.
