Star Trek: Discovery

So I haven't watched anything past episode 9, and I hear the latest episodes kind of make up for that, but I'm still hesitant because of how blatantly irritating it is that this show claims to call itself Star Trek. But you know, I would be totally down with it if they surprised the shit out of me by killing the "main character". 10/10 if that happens.

Not sure how you think this show isn't a Star Trek.

Just because it calls itself Star Trek, has Klingons, and sci-fi, doesn't make it Star Trek. There's zero exploration. Zero "Discovery" outside the name of the ship and completely ludicrous scifi concepts, even by Trek standards. There's no peaceful mode of action. The main character kills a Klingon in the first episode when she invades a foreign entity's religious object. There's no moral dilemma, no moral lessons that aren't forced SJW trash. It doesn't portray modern conflicts in a futuristic light, they're still very modern, or even in the past. Also, Dixie cup frat parties. It's not episodic. It's not mature.

It's the Star Trek equivalent of The Last Jedi. It shits on the core concepts of the thing in the name of being "different", while only keeping the same set pieces. There's no character development. There's nothing that draws me to any particular character for honorable reasons. The ship design sucks, even if it is based off rudimentary pre 60's trek design, minus the jumping animation. The cgi is the only thing amazing. That part definitely kicks the shit out of every previous movie or show, including the new movies. But that's all it has.
