* Announcement of Michelle Yeoh as the captain of the... Shenzhou? Meaningless to me. And probably mostly to the show. It's Star Trek: Discovery, not Star Trek: Shenzhou.
That's kind of where I'm at.

I think we're pretty much on the same page. I mean, it's about time Trek had a gay main character, but is that all the thought they've put into it?
"We've got a guy... and HE'S GAY!!!!!"
"We need more detail."

"Comic relief! He likes space mushrooms!"
"GOLD."
