I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.
This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

I really liked Phlox in the first episode, but never felt the followup was there.
As for Discovery, Saru is great, and he has a wonderful relationship towards the end. Michael is OK. Perhaps the show's biggest problem is that it has a big cast, but it never puts in the effort to develop those characters before it expects you to care at some chosen moment.
I found Discovery's biggest problem was being a different IP with Treks skin stretched over it
Yeah the execution could have used some work but I appreciate the work they put in to writing a reasonably believable, lore respectful way of explaining why TOS klingons didn't have ridges but then they did in the movies onward. Even if the reality of the situation was "prosthetics cost more than shoe polish".
