So, ok, I got to see the whole Star Trek thingy. I would watch this. I happen to like Michelle Yeoh anyway, and I especially like when she gets to be something other than eye candy. She and Sonequa Martin-Green manage to create two characters for whom you have a sense of them and their relationship in just the one episode and it's interesting enough that I want to see more.
There's a limit on this, because of the way they did this episode, and that would be fine if mumblemumblespoilers they had made some different broadcasting decisions. But they didn't and that seems even more dumb, now that I've seen the whole episode.
Lastly, pet peeve is that makeup artists and creature shops seem to have been on an inexorable rococo trajectory since the 1970s and I have to say, sometimes less is more. Really. It gets distracting when you're just looking at the prosthetics (not even sure where the prosthetics stopped and the costumes began) and it's distracting you from the character. If one's in there. Just sayin'.
So, yeah. CBS needs to rethink this in case they're about to kill something interesting.
Oh. I'm sure there's whining about the obvious 'diversity' elements. Sad, really, since it's been one of the features of Star Trek all along. Diversity, I mean.
