'Star Trek: Discovery' Producers: Be Patient With Us
The Fine Article contains spoilers for those who haven't seen the show:
The lightness and easygoing chemistry among the "Discovery" cast present a stark contrast with the characters of "Discovery."

Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) and given us an arrogant and snappy scientist in Lt. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp).

If you're among those worried about the changes brought on by "Discovery," the producers have some advice for you: Just wait a little bit.
"We are canon," executive producer Alex Kurtzman said in an interview Saturday. "You'll have to be patient with us."
Kurtzman addressed the notion that the show would be grittier, assuring fans that the core themes of Star Trek remain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.
The heck? How could you possibly get that impression? They're not conquering or invading anybody as far as we know. Other than fighting the Krill (or whatever), which we don't really know anything about.
Well, one or two specific people on a single ship, anyway. As a general rule, have we seen any indication of that as a Union tendency?
It's the third episode, god damn! It's happened one time!
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
