What's next for Michael Barebum and her motley crew of not straight white men?

The writers have pissed off the traditional fanbase by having the federation act like anything other than the federation and milking the lore without respecting it, they've pissed off the progressive viewers hoping to see something which reflects what they hope the future is like by killing a homosexual black doctor and having an impulsive lead who stamps her feet and seems to get away with murder on multiple occasions.

Where we are now is that the one-armed bandit whirled some numbers and letters and ended on NCC-1701 with Pike and Spock (The lead's step brother) about to speak with the crew of the Discovery and Spock's father.

Will Bobby come out of the shower or did the Fonz make that jump and it's The Orville for everyone from here on out?

I stopped watching on the giant fish bringing mudd to the enterprise episode. Did the show really in all those directions?

I almost feel like watching to see if the show really spun out like this.

The show went in every direction that it shouldn't Crc.

Jim Carrey's take on Kirk in In Living Colour was more faithful to Star Trek than Discovery.

Lorca: conman-captain
Saru: we learnt a bit about him and his culture. #1 and acting-captain.

I don't know the names of the actual bridge crew: There is a black guy, an asian-ish guy, a black girl that got a line and killed in mirror, theres the female-robot (no idea where it came from as it can't be an android), and theres metelhead (no idea of why she has a metal thing on her head). Dont know what any of them do apart from being bridge furniture.

Tilly was not on the bridge crew, a cadet something about science maybe?
Burnham was not a bridge crew member, she was picked up and assiagned as 'Special'-ist
AshVog was also picked up so never a crew member.

So Season2 The dairy of Mikey B talking with Suru & Tilly, Tilly talking with Stamets & Suru and the bridge furniture.

I actually stopped watching the show after the muddy space fish episode. I want to watch the show but I'm waiting for when the main female lead will become a likable character. Even Warf a heartless Klingon became likeable in the franchise Star Trek but this lead actress comes across as a villian in the show that doesn't care about anyone but her own selfish intrests as she seems to place crew in jepordy countless times. I figure the writers are gonna eventually learn that keeping her character detestable is not a requirement for feminists viewership (I have to assume at least) so that the shows viewership can stabalize. I'd like to see characters we can root for and she's as currently written just isn't it.
