Discovery is the worst Star Trek so far. All of the over-the-top wannebe political correctness that governs our current day society has been stuck in just this one series. A woman in the lead role - fine with me. But why to give her a male name? So that we show that its fine to not be a woman or a man? And of course a gay relationship has to be part of the main story line. And a refuge that is fighting for his oppressed people. And a disturbed brother-sister relation. And augmentations to the body for - well, whatever reason. And body-shaming. And the challenges of not accepting your own body. And a relationship of a white woman with a alien husband, she went to live with him to his place, with a mixed DNA child not being accepted by society and then adopting another kid with....... oh my God, please, is it really all necessary to be stuck into the series in such an over the top way?? Season 2 at least does not have a lot of those fake Klingons anymore. That was the worst of all, even being untrue to the original Star Trek Klingons. I'm still watching the series, but I hope it will stop trying to be so extremely endless wannebe politically correct. At times its nauseating.

@right This is Star Trek. You know, the show very well known as a bastion of introducing progressive ideas to TV-viewing audiences... relative to its time, of course. <br /> <br /> I very much find it unlikely that you are 'fine' with a woman in the lead role given how much you're reading into a name. Michael has been used throughout history as a female name, although uncommon. Less rare is shortening it from Michaela. If she actively wants a more masculine name because it matches her personality then that's on her, and there's nothing strange about writing it that way.<br /> <br /> As for the rest of it... I'm not sure you have actually watched Star Trek or The Orville. This is a universe for exploring difficult moral/ethical/philosophical problems in fun episodic form. The franchise has dealt with these 'politically correct' issues long before the term 'politically correct' was invented. Obviously, it makes sense to be analysing today's issues, rather than ones from 1967, but the concept stays the same. <br /> <br /> I do hope you continued watching with a different mindset. Being triggered over every second word will ruin any show.
