Burnham not human?

[Locutus of Bored]

You can't question Super Burnham. If you do you'll end up dead.

What does that even mean?

What does that even mean?

He's implying what happened to Connolly in the first episode of season 2.

 

[Mudd]

Again, it's hard to see this as anything other than a Mary Sue thread.

There has to be a groundhog around here somewhere.

He's implying what happened to Connolly in the first episode of season 2.

Connolly was a deader when he got cocky about rollercoasters. They telegraphed that one way early.

It was his mistake not to have watched the first JJTrek movie; his twin went skydiving with Kirk.

Reading people try to discredit the Michael Burnham character never really gets old. Good fun.

 

[Awesome Possum]

TOS Kirk talked a computer to death and beat up a genetically superior human engineered to be perfect, he later outwitted him. Yet Burnham is a problem because of “reasons”.

 

[Fateor]

Regarding Burnham's apparent physical abilities, we're talking about a franchise where unaugmented humans can comfortably sit through a rapid acceleration to 0.25c with an impulse drive and to over 1000c with a warp drive thanks to the ship's inertial dampers. There's nothing to suggest the pods weren't equipped with them; if there are warp shuttles, then surely shuttle-sized inertial dampers exist as well.

There's a difference between g-forces and acceleration...

What made Wesley a giant leap forward in evolution? He certainly was not older than Burnham.

You've never seen TNG have you?

 

[Mudd]

Meh, she's just kind of a monotonous angsty drip, most of the time. SMG does what she can with this material, I guess.

Would you like to explain your position or just make snarky comments?

You can't question Super Burnham. If you do you'll end up dead.

Same rule could be applied to Kirk, Janeway, Picard and pretty much any other hero character. Where's the same complaint about them?

 

[Kor]

And Picard magically took a lot longer to start devolving than everybody else in "Genesis." He must not be human either.

No, the French are just stubborn like that.

 

[Tuskin38]

I'll go with her being a augment.

No

 

[Awesome Possum]

A woman being competent or better than any random man demands an explanation for some reason.

 

[Phily B]

She is a very boring character and I dislike the shows focus on her.

 

[fireproof78]

No, the French are just stubborn like that.

Especially when they are speaking with an English accent

 

[Awesome Possum]

Given that she’s the main character you’re going to have a bad time for the rest of the series.

Ah well...
We all have our crosses to bear.

 

[Therin of Andor]

I just cannot see where this "too perfect" thing originates.

Raised by Vulcans.

 

[Fateor]

Would you like to explain your position or just make snarky comments?

I said that, because if you had watched TNG you would know that was part of Wesley's character arc.

 

[fireproof78]

That does little to support your point. But, thank you for reminding me of Wesley's arc. Very interesting.

 

[Kane_Steel]

The consensus on Captain Pike seems to be that he is likeable, charming and entertaining to watch from the start, elevating the dynamics on the show.

Adding him to the regular cast will help to balance Burnham's boring presence out.

It was definitely a smart, calculated move. Makes the series more watchable to those who dislike Michael Burnham.
