[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7327691, member: 37579"] Burnham was always *the* protagonist, but I was hoping the rest of the cast might be important in ways other than plot elements. Anyone not related to Burnham's character arc is a cypher and lucky to even have a name… Saru and Tilly are really only there to add drama to Burnham. Saru to serve as the "path not taken" while Tilly draws her out of her self-imposed exile. I've also said repeatedly, Tilly's role in the story is to be bonded to and die at Tyler/Loq's hands in order to drive Burnham to move past her affection and kill him. (Likely with last words related to "at least I got to be Captain… for a little while…") I'm now expanding that prediction to alternatively include Lorca. And Stamet is also likely fated to die so the secrets of the Spore Drive are lost. Agreed. I'm sad he was fired. He was also pushing for stuff like uniforms closer to TOS and the like. So under his leadership, I imagine things like Klingons might look a little more like Klingons as well, removing the visual dislike of the show for many fans… (Of course, he also wanted the show to be an anthology series, with each season set in a different era. That would have been lovely, albeit likely expensive. We're left to only imagine the adventures of the Discovery-A in 2275, Discovery-B in 2300, and the Discovery-C in 2325…) I am curious (morbidly curious?) and uncertain where things are going. The two story structure of the season has been… different. They could do anything. Maybe they'll end with the prime universe Lorca being rescued or Saru being captain. Maybe Burnham's attempts sacrifice grants her a reprieve from prison. Or something completely different. Really… I wouldn't be surprised if it just ends and doesn't really give us much resolution or denouement. [/QUOTE]
