@halm @GuyFleegman I really wish I saw in S1 what you all seem too. To me it's a weirdly disjointed season:

Part 1: Introduction two parter, set up Burnham.
Part 2: Klingon War
Part 3: Mirror Universe
Part 4: Oops, forgot the Klingons! Wrap up.

I LOVED Lorca and his arc, that was very good. But the season itself doesn't hang together as a consistent serialised story, it feels like they were halfway through shooting and had to suddenly make 4 more episodes, and it shattered the story.
