      In the first episode of Discovery, the first officer stages a mutiny because her captain refuses to fire on the Klingons unprovoked.

      That is the kind of person who doesn’t belong in Starfleet. She should be court martialed, sent back to Earth or Vulcan or wherever she wants to go, and encouraged to open a Vulcan fusion restaurant or something. I have no interest in continuing to watch that ship or those characters. I think a character like that would be fine in a different show or on a different ship. Maybe make the crew mercenaries instead of Starfleet officers. You could do Firefly in Star Trek, that would be awesome. But Discovery just doesn’t look like Trek to me.

      Also the Klingons are really boring and I can’t possibly see them enjoying a bottle of bloodwine or singing poems about Kah’less. IDK replace them with Breen or something. Not every Star Trek show has to be about the Klingon War.
