Curse you typos!
So, I guess with Jean Luc Picard being FRENCH - he's not your cup of tea?
With a name like "Cornwall" it's certainly possibly that they had intended to cast a Brit in the part at one point.

Pft. In my headcanon, England and France had an incestuous relationship in the early 2200s.So, I guess with Jean Luc Picard being FRENCH - he's not your cup of tea?
Possibly, or while national identities and borders are still recognized, the conventions that go with them aren't nearly as rigid.
That's true today, god forbid in another 2 hundred years after a nuclear war and interbreeding with Aliens.
Now I'll accept a mushroom based intergalactic superhighway, but there are limits to suspension of disbelief.
Mushroom Gods are going to step in at some point and say "No, just no, you're out, you're out of here."
Pretty sure it's Algar.
I think Star Trek Discovery is more of Episodic type of show than serialized one. The only real serialized part of Discovery is from episode 1 to episode 2. The others are actually episodic in nature. Just look at episode 3, 4, 5 and 6. They are just basically have problem of the week that solved at the same episode it's appear. Like Lorca being captured by Klingon, Sarek has incident in the nebula, etc. All the problems are solved at the same episode they're appear. So basically Discovery is episodic. But it's not a loose episodic show that each episode stand on it's own, like in Star Trek TNG. All the episodes, despite they're independent, they still have a knot that link all together, make the whole season flow together.
So rather than call Discovery as a serialized show, I prefer to call it a serialized episodic show. Or, semi serialized show.
The real serialized show that I know come from East Asian TV Shows, like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese drama. They're real serialized show, as there is no independent episode that has it's own conflict and it's own conclusion. All episodes are linked together as one whole story line. Each episode work as chapters. Although there are story arc which represent their own problem and conclusion, but they still have connection with the main story that the story has. I think Game of Throne is the example of serialized show, in the western TV.

Well...perhaps. But, as has already been commented upon, he is not exactly the best judge of situational awareness. Plus--and this is interesting since we're talking about Vulcans here--there's a certain degree of hubris involved, perhaps even what we would consider narcissism.
But there's another thought. There's a concept in behavioural economics called prospect theory. Long story short, if you're already digging a hole with a mammoth case of sunk-cost bias, you would think that you would stop. But that's not the case. If you are in the domain of losses, you double-down. You try your best to keep on pressing even though you, rationally speaking, know the odds of your success are slim and dwindling. It's why the house always wins in gambling. Gamblers who are not sufficiently self-aware put themselves in the domain of loss and the get gripped by sunk-cost bias, shoveling more and more effort into a clearly lost cause.
So, what has been going on in Sarek's life, such that he might have felt compelled to undertake what any other sentient being could have easily predicted was a trap?
Item 1: Michael's mutiny.
Item 2: The backlash from that--after all, I am sure many Vulcans were more than willing to remind Sarek of his apparent failure to teach the human how to be a proper Vulcan--could reasonably be inferred to have caused internal pressures, negative affects, and otherwise deleteriously affected his decision-making calculus.
By the time the "negotiators" had gotten in touch with him, he was primed for making a disastrous decision. And so he did.
Something close to that, yes. The show so far is just about exactly as serialized as the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise - there's an overall direction to it, and incidents in one story carry consequences for episodes downstream - and not nearly so much as a lot of the shows that folks binge now. I'm not sure it's as serialized as nuBSG, and certainly nothing on the order of House of Cards, Game of Thrones or Westworld.
And yet, at the same time, none of the individual DSC episodes stand out from the crowd in an "I've got to rewatch that adventure" kind of way. nuBSG – even if we accept the premise that it was more heavily serialized than DSC – had more individual flavor to each episode than DSC does. I've for sure wanted to rewatch "the one where Chief Tyrol covers up sabotage" or "the one where Starbuck commits suicide." I can't say that for Discovery so far.
I think you'll find it's Garth Vager.

I notice I gave Lethe a six. That's the highest so far.
The backstory, meldy thing with Michael and Daddy was - boring. I guess it proves that Michael didn't need to be written getting her credibility from know characters. Damaged Lorca, who really is such an anti-hero and even the Admiral being ambushed livened things up.
I think Discovery needs to tether Jason Isaacs to the lot.
