Everyone blames Michael for starting the war. Which is BS because she was in the brig when the Klingons attacked. And they had a pretty damn good idea of the motive: that the enemy captain viewed himself as the "new Klingon messiah". As they used those exact words. It strains credulity. Plus, calling the first mutineer in Starfleet seems like a stretch. It's amusing as the crew of the NX-01 Enterprise committed mutiny a half-dozen times. The captain just forgave them, while captain Yeoh forgot to give the pardon before beaming over like in every other Trek show.Then we have the fellow prisoners, who seem very much like modern criminals in a world without want or need or hunger. So why is one so gleeful at killing Andorians?And the Federation sending them to work hard labor instead of rehabilitating sounds pretty 19th Century and not very Utopian 23rd Century. And immediately on the Discovery the head of security calls them "garbage" and "animals" in the span of a couple minutes. Very enlightened there. The prisoners start a fight with Michael, trying to kill her in a room full of military officers. Why? Because reasons. And the startfleet officer seeing the fight about to start is motioned to sit down and potentially let someone be hurt or killed. The final scene I saw involves Saru telling Michael he thinks she's dangerous. Why? Again, no reason. Drama! And then blames her for letting their captain be killed in an even 2-on-2 fight with Klingons. Could he *really* have done better? If he was so damn concerned, why didn't he join them on the away mission?</blockquote>
