I just watched the episode where Saru returns to the Kelpian home world, and I feel like I have just about reached my limit with this series. Although I enjoy the characters, I find the storylines to be convoluted hot messes that like the reboot films are more concerned with flash and bang than telling a simple character based story. In all the other Star Trek iterations the special effects seemed incidental to the plot, and now it seems like the opposite.
