Thirded on Michael Burnham being a terrible character. Sonequa is a good actress, that's undeniable, but the combination of this character plus her acting style I just find incredibly hard to watch. She is thrust into your face as the main character and essentially a superhero, but without any of the personal qualities that would justify it. A martyr complex pretending to be duty and selflessness.
I have watched all of Discovery though, because Star Trek is Star Trek. If you can put a little box around Michelle Burnham then the show isn't bad. Season 4 was quite decent.
ST: SNW is out of the ballpark though. The S9 musical was amazing. I've rewatched it like 6 times now, I'm a sucker for musicals I guess. Apparently their bar was Buffy's Once More With Feeling... I went back and watched that again, and oh boy did SNW do a FAR better job. Those songs and the lip synching were absolute cheese.
