As I've said previously, I come to realize the show isn't written for me. I erroneously thought we were going to get a Pike-Spock-Number One centric series because that was the trio we saw on Discovery. Clearly that's not what they're going for, and I guess I should have not been surprised.
It is what it is, just not what I wanted and thought it would be. I probably will watch tomorrow's episode just because I've come this far, but I'm not the least bit excited about it. With the ongoing strikes, God only knows when they'll have another season and I couldn't care less.
EDIT TO ADD: A good friend of mine, a long term ST fan messaged me this the other day:
"I never thought I'd say this, but they can quit making new Star Trek series if this is the best they can do."
I can't say I disagree.
