S1:E3 - Context is for Kings

So this episode begins with a predictably dark opening sequence where it wasn't needed. The introduction to the U.S.S. Discovery should have been handled in a much better way. Still a cool looking ship. The spore drive looks great, but way outta place for this era's Trek technology, it's a neat concept though.

I'm glad that we finally get to meet some more staple characters to the series like thicc Tilly <3, and Lorcan (you know this man is evil from the way he secretly puts that alien creature in captivity). I also enjoy the engineer whos name is escaping me right now. It's a shame that the episode didn't flesh him out more, the parts on the Glenn should have been longer and done just that. I see Burnham is also once again having trust issues. Instead of building the trust of her new crew, she's sneaking off behind their backs and going into places she's not authorized too. I like how Saru knows what kind of trouble Burnham is going to bring.

One final thought on the intro to Discovery. The theme is growing on me, but the actual intro itself reminds me of Enterprise. Don't care for it. I liked Voyagers intro the best out of all of the series.
