Can the costume designers please make up their minds as to how these uniforms work when they're unzipped? 
The books have symbiotes getting too big to be implanted, and then the really big old ones live deep in the caves.

high tech invisible seams, so you can do it either way.
If it can be opened like Reno's why would anyone want it to open like Culber's?

Why what? It just seems inconsistent; Reno's unzipps to where the collar "flap" comes apart" while Culber's has it remain as one piece, which is how they all look when zipped up. If Reno zipped her's up you'd see a seam on her collar's rank placard-thing.
My guess is the IRL reason is they made hers to always be unzipped whereas Culber's was made to be closed and that's how it's supposed to look when unzipped. My question is simply why not make Reno's function like Culber's/everyone else's? Total minor nitpick but I still found it interesting.
I figured that different departments have different requirements, as well as the fact that Reno's uniform seemed more easily modified for engineering duties.
Perhaps medical staff have different clothing requirements than engineering, so the styling is geared more to functionality than uniformity.
In reality the costume designers have no clue how a uniformed service works, thus the cast is clad multi-form rather than uni-form.
A lot of what we saw in the Vault were things to be weaponized (Kirk corpse was thinly thing I we saw that didn't;t have a weapons application). The Genesis device is a failure, but it's also a single weapon thats capable of destroying a planet. You would think they would keep it (especially if outlawed) for that valuable if nefarious function.
And David is fairly clear that his use promotmatter was what get it to work and that is why is was breaking apart. At that point in time, they didn't have success without it.

Not every episode needs to centered on Kirk. With very few exceptions Kirk was the key figure in almost every single episode of his series.
And yes it's a different era, to assume it follows a more TNG style isn't rational (DS9 from that same period had Sisko out front and center in more mission than Picard was). Heck in many ways this Federation is far less organized and evolved than what TNG's Federation was. It's still a shell of itself.
As for why it's a Micheal show, because that how the show was planned. It's really as simple as that. There is literally nothing to say Trek needs to be well balanced ensemble show. Again TOS wasn't a well balanced ensemble show.
We know from Lower Decks that there are properly working Genesis Device's in the 24th century.
Boooo, zipper diversity in Discovery!? Worst show ever.Can the costume designers please make up their minds as to how these uniforms work when they're unzipped?
Can Burnham actually talk to anyone without tears forming?
I for one am just glad they're now in 32nd century uniforms and not the original Season 1 and 2 ones.
I actually don't remember if they state in the season if the Genesis Device is actually safe to use (and by someone not a bit of a raving loon).
We do know that Carol asks is it stable, and the response is that it seems to be. Not exactly glowing proof that the technology is safe and works properly.
The fact that Carol even ask if its stable and that the answer isn't yes, concerns me (thats the part I remember).
But I freely admit I rarely rewatch Lower Decks for fine details.
The real question is does the Genesis Device provide a matrix to create the evolutionary pattern to create intelligent life? We know Carol describes it as, "instead of a dead moon, a living breathing planet capable sustaining whatever life we see fit to deposit on it"
That doesn't indicate the device was designed to create complex life forms. She also states how long it took Starfleet Corps of engineers to hollow out the area used (10 months), but the matrix formed in a day, and that lifeforms grew at a substantially accelerated rate. The script describes water, and plant life. I thought the film also showed in a matte shot a flying animal. I can't find it when I keyed up the scene. But that doesn't mean it was created by the matrix it could have been life deposited as she describes in the briefing. In Search for Spock. dp we see any life that isn't something that wasn't likely deposited by the arriving of Spock's torpedo coffin and the material inside it? There are far more scenes in that film, I don't watch to rewatch it. Anyone know?

Well since we have seen her speak without tears forming when speaking to various people in every single episode of the show. I think the answer would be a very clear yes.
Yes.
Can people come up with something new to complain about?
Why does Burnham have to have eyes with tear ducts? And here's a three-paragraph explanation why her orbits have ruined streaming Trek.
You mean those expensive looking blues? They were great! Enterprise-meets-Pike era style.I for one am just glad they're now in 32nd century uniforms and not the original Season 1 and 2 ones.
