Also, it keeps niggling at me. I can understand the infamy of being Starfleet's first mutineer. What I can't understand is why people blame Burnham for the war. (That said, I also don't understand why she didn't have her phaser set to stun last episode. . .)
To quote myself: "If not for her carelessness when scouting the (then unknown) Klingon ship, she wouldn't have been in the situation of having to defend herself (& subsequently killing the Klingon)". That act provided the wannabe-king Klingon (WKK) with the excuse he needed in order to rally the other tribes to "his" Klingon war.
In a way, it was a trap set by WKK, and Michael fell for it. That's how I see it at least. Hubris on Michael's part, perhaps?
I'll watch the 4th episode, but if more likable characters aren't brought on-board (pun intended), then that will be it for me. I don't like the new science guy, and I don't like Michael's new roommate...way too annoying, and seemed to be somewhat of a "sci-fi/fantasy fan" stereotype, IMHO.

I've seen the 2-part Pilot, and the first ep on-board The Discovery.
I like this show- it has many good things in common with something like 'Dark Matter' or 'Expanse'.
But those are different shows than ST was ever meant to be.
Still, It's very watchable.
But- there are many time-line problems. This could have been fixed by renaming the alien bad guys and setting this after ST-Nemesis (but before the non-sensical destruction of Romulus).
That way you get a super-futuristic show with all the bells & whistles without violating Prime canon.
In actuality, it may be a 2nd reboot. I think it is best to think of it as such.
Anyway- what unexplored part of real canon is this show supposed to be exploring? Did 'Prelude to Axenar' actually beat them to the punch?

After a dull start, the third episode was quite entertaining. I thought it came across like a less frivolous Doctor Who episode. I mean, a proper monster and everything! While I don't like sfx taking over anything, the mix of visuals, plot, character, action and general sf fun seemed reasonably balanced this time.
But, what have they done to the Klingons? I mean, why? Why encase them in yet more prosthetics and costume, not to mention more vocally challenged? There were an alien race, now they are more in the area of monsters. Big step back in this area for me.
