Battle at the Binary Stars

Star Trek: Discovery
S01E02
Season 1 Episode 2

Lots of problems with this episode. It wasn't even a full 42 minutes. They never said how many ships were destroyed at this fight or what it was called. Now Vulcans can mind meld communication stones?? That made no sense. When Spock used two hands in Wrath of Kahn, talking to people was not the result of that. That was terrible. It was dumb that the admiral was still using holo-calls when his ship was right there! So stupid.

They needed to show more of the space battle. Some good scenes but not enough. These Klingons don't look like warriors, they remind me of those old Spaniards with the big collars.

We did get to see more of Burnham's past. And she pleaded guilty so I guess that's good. Not sure what nonsense will get her out of a life sentence.

I liked that she got emotional when Captain Georgiou died & acted human & shot T'Kuvma! She ended up making him a martyr. It's too bad that she didn't tell Captain Georgiou she considered her like a mother.

I liked when that Klingon ship started slicing into Admiral Anderson's ship & the Admiral pulled a self-destruct. But T'Kuvma said his was the only ship that could cloak, but it was a different ship that destroyed the admiral's. It's the same mistake they made in Undiscovered Country.
