Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x07 - "Unification III"

We'll never change, will we?
Really? People who are skeptical about masks and climate change based upon research are to be included with flat Earthers?
Wow...
Why not all three of those groups are just as stupid.
Just when I thought I had purged early TNG from my memorybanks.
I agree with your general point, but unless Earth insisting it was flat or Ni'Var being anti-maskers was the reason they withdrew from the Federation, I'm not really seeing the relevance of this tangent to Trek or the episode, so let's just move on, please.
I think it's worth remembering that Mirror-Tilly is already a respected... okay, infamous... starship captain. At her current biological age. So just from that, Saru should be confident that Tilly will adapt quickly and competently to command.
OTOH, Burnham's mom showing up to be her advocate was very poor writing, IMO. I'll admit that a small part of my feelings on that is that for a brief moment, I thought we were about to get introduced to a descendant of Spock and Saavik as the person with a special interest in her case, and that would have been awesome.

The whole debate reminds me of TNG Sarek:
PICARD: I saw you crying.
SAREK: I do not cry.
PICARD: I was there I saw the tears.
SAREK: You exaggerate, Captain. I recall only one tear.
Not exactly the best, or most constructive argument
The blue ones were dilithium as well.
When I saw the blue clothes and hood, I thought Amanda somehow went to the future XD
these aren’t slight changes they are major changes being made.
Analogy still applies.
Channels Captain Kirk: yiuns minds, fresh ideas.
Discover and Picard aren’t fresh. Also kurtzman isn’t young. Star Trek is more like Star Wars now. So yeah again not fresh.
You're a lost cause.
I care more about these characters than the crews of ENT or VOY or most of TNG.
New enough for me.
just my opinion and a lot of others opinion. They changed the look of trek and the storytelling for the sake of change. They have violated canon more than any other show at this point. The writing is amateurish fan quality and has loads of plot holes. TOS wasn’t perfect and had some stinkers but they hired good science fiction writers. I just finished watching Charlie X. Just a nice science fiction drama that isn’t all over the place in story telling. It focuses on the characters, the cameras work is clear and pleasing to the eye and the sets are brightly lit. Great show and a Great legacy. Discovery will never have that kind of legacy
Nah, they've done some things you don't like. Updated the look of the show doesn't violate canon. Neither does introducing new characters who have a connection to older characters.
There maybe a lot to complain about in Discovery, but lack of focus on characters isn't one of them.
Charlie X is a good episode, but I'm willing to bet it has a plot hole or two.
Good. That's not why I watch shows.
I'm not DSC's biggest fan but his argument is more tiresome than a marathon of a Trek series' worst episodes. I mean, don't watch if you don't like it.
I have many things I don't like about DSC but I still like it a lot more than I don't and give the show a chance, enjoying most episodes to one degree or another. "This Ruins Canon" isn't an argument and I'm the pedantic nerd who cringes about the Klingon makeup change with no in-universe explanation from the producers.
Anyone can hate anything for any reason but if they want me to take their complaints seriously and agree with them those reasons had better be good.

Afraid not. You should watch “Through the Valley of Shadows” again.
Canon is what is on screen. It has no obligation to be consistent with prior depictions of Trek.
Continuity is what, on occasion, gets overwritten (far less frequently than is often alleged, though).
C’mon people. You’re Trekkies. The least you can do is complain about the correct problem. [/pedant]
