Star Trek

Stamets had like one scene that whole episode, didn't he? The opening party thing where he's talking about the Luminary stuff. I don't remember him at any other point.

They bring Owo and Rhys onto an Away team and then treat them like absolute chumps and toss them away.

Like I actually kinda like Rayner because he's not putting up with Burnhams shit. When he said "I wish I could say it's been a pleasure" and beams out at the end of the episode I actually 100% agreed with him. I never thought I'd be on his side but I am. How is it that a captain shows up for a singular episode and already proves directly that he cares more about structure and order than you do?

The Burnham doing the same thing for a thousandth time thing is what killed her character for me. I can't root for her anymore. She is objectively a bad person. She's been given chance after chance after chance and fucked almost every one of those up but still gets given another one. She's the Starfleet version of a white middle aged CEO at this point. She can only fail upward and get away with everything. No consequences for fuck all. At any point. And yeah I don't care about Book either. Dude detonated illegal weapons and violated so many laws but nah, lets get him back because he just happens to know a thing. Bet he's not being dropped off back to continue his punishment though. Nah there's gonna be some contrived reason to keep him on board so Burnham and Book can have another lovey dovey thing. I would not be surprised if Burnham sacrifices herself at the end of the season to protect the crew and Book and honestly if she does I will legitimately cheer and whoop that Starfleets worst Captain (easily outranking Jelico) is finally dead and can't harm the Federation anymore.

If you told me 3 months ago that Id be saying that I would have given you a warning for stuffing words down my mouth that I'd never agree with. Now I'm one of the biggest people wanting her to die. It's ruined any rewatch value too. I'm so angry.
