Prodigy too, first season was fantastic.
You’ve described precisely how I feel about Disco, Trek is supposed to be about the whole team solving problems but somehow in any century…the destiny of the universe is all about her. Remove deus ex Burnham from the show and it could be so much better. Saru, Stamets and all are great, they’re just background to the Michael story.
I like Discovery, but I have to agree. So many of the narrative problems could have been solved by simply giving the line(s) of dialogue in which Burnham solves a problem to someone else on the bridge. Easy peasy. Mix it up.
Yeah the show would be so much better if they didn't rely on Burnham as the "solver of all things". Literally the first thing they do with her when she walks into Starfleet Command after the time jump is go "YO HAVE YOU TRIED THIS SOLUTION TO THE PRIONS?". It's like the writers can't help themselves.
I wouldn't be surprised if she has a stupid, uninspired speech that is a "These are the voyages" rip off at the end of the finale episode right before they inexplicably promote her to the Admiralty. It would be a fitting f*** you to end the show right in line with what the writers have done so far.
