On paper, Discovery is the Star Trek I always wanted. How was it so boring? I thought Saru was going to be captain, but then they parachuted Pike into the captain’s chair? And Star Trek was always entertainingly boring with characters talking and talking and talking. And I ate that up. Is it because Discovery was drawn out over a series rather than episodic wherein stupid Wesley’s stupid whatever he was dealing with got resolved within 20 minutes?
