He basically looks like an old white guy and understands military discipline and order and getting things done vs. spending an hour talking about feelings before making a decision, so he had to be humbled and proven wrong and schooled by a young woman of color. This becomes explicit in the 4th episode, just in case anyone was dull enough to miss it previously. I'm as liberal and "woke" as it gets, but even I think this is the worst kind of drivel.

And if you STILL didn't get it... Ep 6 waxes rhapsodic about how the alien race they're visiting "doesn't have a word in their language for social status or class and they have 3 genders!" AND Burnham picks the fat chick to continue the foot race instead of having her work on the tech which IS supposedly her specialty (but hey fat people can win races too!) AND the whole point of the race, to select a "sacrifice" aka someone who gets killed, is so blindingly obvious to anyone BUT Burnham and the crew that it's literally painful to watch. I'm reminded of the line in Galaxy Quest where Guy exasperatedly asks: "Don't you people ever WATCH the show?!!!" This has now descended to the level of unintended parody. I really wish the guys at South Park were viewers!
