This is supposed to be a generation ship, so where are the children? Nobody seems to wonder since nobody had an explanation anyway. And so Discovery's plan to pose as a generation ship is another half baked idea by the writers. Now somehow we get the impression the writers can do no better.
The 12 year old message, and the sender that vanished. And the young girl's idea to be part of Discovery to find the sender. Nothing seems interesting and motivations are far fetched. Everybody always giving a speech. The umpteenth You-Are-The-Best-Crew-Speech. Why not do it with gestures. Saru points at the Captain's chair, Burnham turns it to Saru, he sits down hesitently, gives the first shy order and then we get the "Aye-Captain"Chorus. That would have been far more resonant.
Now to the main conflict, earth gov and the Titan-raiders. It was nice to see that everything was resolved with words instead of weapons. But is was a bit simple. Never the less, right track. Earth is still a paradies, also a bit lame, but positiv. Also right track.
All in all, less words, better writing and we might finally get true Trek.
