Star Trek Discovery

I watched the pilot of Star Trek Discovery and I was almost literaly howling with rage.



I decided to wait a few days before I write a rant about it, to calm down, think it over, think about the good points of the movie... but even after two days of contemplation, I am even more convinced that this pilot raped Star Trek harder than the J.J. Abrams movies.

We have a Star Trek main protagonist who, based upon her paranoid, prejudiced and racists way of thinking, that the only good solution to their situation is to "preemptively" destroy a ship that haven't done anything yet besides hiding away and which belongs to a powerful nation with whom Federation relations are already cold-war style.
And then our "protagonist", when her advice is rejected by her captain, a captain that is shown to be a very positive figure and with whom they have a deep bond, she lures her away, knocks her out in order to take over the ship, lie to the rest of the crew in order to carry out her "preemptive strike"idea.

And although her plan is foiled, we, the audience, are shown that this preemptive strike would have been indeed the only good solution to the situation.

WHAT DE FUCK????
