Maybe I’m confused.... I was in the army for 12 years. I don’t doubt these sailor’s expertise. Yet I’m just trying to figure out while in the movie, they spend so much effort on getting the verbiage and rank correct (jobs, relieving of duty, call signs...) yet they calculated azimuth’s through sonar on the nose. They calculated back azimuth’s on the nose (literally tom hanks looking through a pair of binoculars or a window, no mention of calculations just knew it). Yet when firing down range, the men couldn’t shoot for anything. They were so far off. The “depth charges” went off immediately on film. So why not just let them loose when the target is right there. Why fire them when the target is “indefinitely” as for a prior military looking on, it’s a disgrace. Especially for Tom hanks whom has done so much for the military community. I just don’t get it. Maybe you could shed some light?

I just don’t get it. It has decent story lines, amazing CGI, and some actors are truly inspiring. Yet their are two main characters I cannot stand as actors. Burnham did great in the walking dead but here, she is just not in the right role. She cannot deliver as a leading actress here. All I get is long winded speeches every episode ( especially the 5 minute on at the end of season two; you know, when people are in battle and dying and she just keeps talking...) her acting just seems either emotionless (because of her upbringing I get) or just way too emotionally which looks like a bad daytime soap opera. It’s just really hard to get through. Saru, is a horrible character as well. Most of the time I just ignore both of them and hopefully catch on to something more interesting going on behind the scenes. If they got rid of these two characters and focused on Spock or pike. This show would be incredible.
