And in the whole of Act 2, basically the show was plot-focused, with no one other than Burnham and Ash getting any real character development.
Considering the Mirror Universe arc was apparently pushed back to Act 2, I'm wondering if much of the originally planned character development and focus fell victim to the rewrites after Fuller left. I can definitely see Lorca getting more focus if we visited the MU early, came back home with him and he was the one reaching the point where he'd actually attempt genocide against Klingons at the end. We might never know... hopefully, the story arc of Season 2 will be better planned and executed. We'll see.
 
If the writers of Enterprise were given a 5th season, they were going to bring the Kzinti back into the universe. I'm personally hoping that's where Disco goes next season. Larry Niven's creations had a deep history and background (maybe even get to see the Puppeteers as the ones holding the Kzinti's chain as a new adversary in the quadrant). It could take Trek in a really interesting new direction.

Which probably means they won't do it...
 
And Fuller was a Voyager writer. That's basically where all of his Star Trek work was done.
 
Apparently the creators had already come up with conceptual art for the fifth season Kzinti ships that would have used the pink color from TAS but toned it down a little to make it less campy and cartoonish. It would have been fascinating to see how a Kzinti storyline would have fit into the beginning of the Earth-Romulan War and if that species would have been an ally or an enemy of humans or stayed on the sidelines to benefit from the outbreak of the conflict.
 
per definition, you need more than one person for mutiny
That's not entirely true.

What she did technically fits the UCMJ definition of mutiny. But, yes, there are stipulations that really emphasize conspiracy and malicious intent - neither of which happened. So it's really more of a matter of spirit/letter of the law.

And what she did certainly wasn't the classic Mel and Tony on the Bird of Prey the show made it out to be.

What she did was certainly grounds for court-martial, but with Mac and a proper jury of 9 fellow commanders (instead of three ominous flag officers), + accounting for Future Paradise World the most she should have received was something like 20/10

It was just a typical case of tech/legal/whatever moving at the speed of the plot to put things in place, which is usually fine except when it's handled that poorly.

Because Janeway is a control freak and if she can't have any fun then so can no one else. ;)

Well, anyone's free to screw a holodeck character, since Janeway does it too.

Ever wonder what happens to the...umm...real matter left behind in the holodeck after it's turned off. Does it automatically get sterilized, or does someone have to go in and mop?
