Yeah, I don't like (or understand the attraction to) any of the "adult comics" that seem so popular.
Add Family Guy to the list. Actually I may have seen 1-2 episodes but wasn't a fan.
Yeah, Burnham really screwed it for everyone. They beamed in with phasers on stun (blue color on the top of the phasers) and she set it to red before shooting T'Kuvma. I can only imagine it was because she thought that he was about to kill the captain, not knowing that the captain was already dead.
TNG did one where Picard was involved in a transporter accident and was beamed as pure energy into space or something like that. Somebody... Beverly?.... could see him or something and had to convince everyone he wasn't dead. Season 1 or 2 or 3, early on.Wouldn't surprise me if they revive the story where everyone thinks the captain is dead but one person, and that person then starts a rescue mission (of course if will be succesful then, and the person will be reenstated due to having rescued the captain). Can't remember which one, but I'm pretty sure they had this before. Was it TNG?
How does that make any sense? She committed treason and in the eyes of starfleet, got her commanding officer killed and started a war. But some captain of another ship wants her for her "resolve" so all is forgiven? Can anyone imagine that happening in real life?Looks like instead of going to jail, the captain of the Discovery gets her sent to his ship instead, something about needing her kind of resolve in his crew. She becomes part of the crew of the ship and has to deal with the animosity of the crew towards her for her crimes against her previous captain. Thus begins the actual show, which is about the Discovery and her crew, but primarily about her of course.

It makes no sense. This is the Federation ffs. She was sentenced to LIFE in prison (the darkened judges in dark spooky room was just f'ing stupid as well).How does that make any sense?

"Well you assassinated the Archduke and started a war, but I like your moxy kid, so take your old job back".
It makes no sense. She (Michael) was right. They don't do what she said. I bunch of people die because of it. Let's lock her up forever! It just makes me feel bad for the actors really - a lot of them did a good job getting their characters set up well in just the first two episodes - only to be made looking stupid by lazy writers. And may very well kill the show (and CBS All Access isn't helping).It makes no sense. This is the Federation ffs.

True, but as we have seen with Star Trek, it's a juggle. If hers had worked, and her captain hadn't recovered more quickly then anyone else we have ever seen after receiving a Vulcan nerve pinch, she would probably be considered a hero. But that would have messed up the entire series. Like I said, bad writing.She wasn't right. She made terrible assumptions and attacked her captain. Mutiny and attacking superior officer charges are totally justified.

You think? I didn't think all those other Klingon ships were there yet, and they may have been able to take out that one.Then she would have fired first, and got everyone killed, including herself, and definitely be considered the trigger for war, posthumously.
Her "Vulcan Hello" move in this situation was moronic.

Red Letter Media reviewed it yesterday, they liked it.
