| Eddv 01/10/20 2:39:08 PM #34: | 58. Michael Burnham Oh look at me I'm spocks adopted sister! Just a disaster of a character. Season 1 of DISCO revolves around her Poochyesque existence. So the least she could do was be interesting and worth that? That is incorrect. She is dry. She is calculating. This might have been somewhat acceptable if they'd gone ahead and just made her a Vulcan but no we didn't get that. She tramples all over other characters spotlight episodes and is in general an omnipresent weight on anything the show might be trying to accomplish. It is owing to her arc/presence that discovery is a show that I don't find especially watchable. Again if you're going to insist on departing from Star Treks ensemble format the character based drama you are replacing it with should at least be good or intriguing. And it's not. And that's why she gets last place. A bad lead is just poison to a character based drama and that's exactly what Burnham is --- Board 8's Voice of Reason https://imgur.com/AWY4xHy ...
