A couple of points:
This cast seems to mesh well together. No off-putting chemistry issues. You could see them all sitting down to dinner off-screen like the do in the Captain's dinners on-screen in earlier episodes.
Check out Wil Wheaton's The Ready Room after each episode. A must.
Any episode of SNW (or DS9 or Voyager) has more character development than any five episodes of Discovery (where the brilliant Michelle Yeoh's talents were sorely underutilized).
Anyone that is complaining about Woke Trek, please turn in your Trekkie card. We've had Woke Trek since 1966. The goal of good Science Fiction is to encourage critical, moral self-examination.
