A challenge to the producers

Your idea appears to be to emulate the gritty drama and dark tonal qualities of edgy TV dramas like "GoT" and "Westworld". You appear to believe that you must apply a framework which copies these shows and interpret it in terms of Star Trek symbols and general narrative. I'm certain this is why you have for example rendered the show's Klingon characters to look "demonic" and written the crew of our heroes to be in perpetual crisis (regardless of chosen plot direction and narrative, this is clearly a deliberate cultural policy you have imposed on the show's writing.).

I do garner some enjoyment from watching the show but I also strongly feel that other shows like GoT etc are their own things - there is no need for the ST Discovery producers to riff off their popularity. You guys need to decide seriously whether ST is distopian or utopian, and not pretend otherwise by claiming falsely you doing one or the other in terms of writing or production. ST should be accepted on its own terms.
