Saru embodies the ideals of the Federation, as nobody else.

This is actually true.

Discovery is far better than it is given credit for, but the endless useless speeches make you hate it.

I am so sorry for the tragedy that happened to you. I hope, you have people to be with you.

I’m glad, you liked my recommendation. Many people don’t get hooked until the 4th episode or so, so, if you’re not entirely convinced, give it some time.

(remember the 1st season of TNG?)

It’s not Star Trek, but in my opinion, the best SF series since DS9.

I don’t say “better”, because they are set in different subgenres, so at some point comparison fails.

Let’s put it like this: I am as much a fan of one as I am of the other.

@JungleJim

There is this scene in the Expanse, when a ship suddenly slows down.

A very messy scene.

In the Undiscovered Land, it was sabotage

My major issues with Discovery are two, but they apply to most modern TV series:

Too much talk, when a single sentence or gesture would have been enough.

The assumption that people care more if the stakes are incredibly high.

Yet, as I said: these apply to a lot of recent TV shows and films (Picard is another prime example) and are basically caused by lazy writing and direction.
