But don't you know that Sisko doesn't fit the theory that we are all racists if we don't like Discovery
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x07 - "Unification III"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

Depends on the god. Baldar was killed by a piece of mistletoe,
Have you studied ancient mythologies?
The Tuatha Dé Danann mixed and bred with humans similar to how the Greek gods did and some were killed in fights and battle
"All."
In DS9 there were plenty of story arcs that barely involved Sisko and even episodes done without him. The same can also be said about most of the other examples.
Discovery with it's shorter seasons isn't really doing this, so the criticism that everything revolves around Burnhams character and her saving the day all day everyday is much more valid.
I read somewhere that every DS9 episode had a scene with Sisko in it. Don't know if it's true, though.
Yes, every episode has Sisko.
Burnham is the main character. She is going to feature prominently.
You are probably right. But he would appear for a scene giving permission for something and not appear in that episode again

He walked into an infirmary to tell Bashir he did a good job, then walked out. No more scenes for the episode.
He is probably not the only one or at least other would be close in all the Trek series
You really should watch more of season 2 which had a lot of episodes pretty much revolving around Christopher Pike and others revolving around Spock.
Season 2 was very much about Michael Burnham, much in the same way that DS9 was about Sisko.
It was about her relationships with her two families, and her relationship with her foster brother, Spock, in particular.
It was also about her love for Ash Tyler.
And it was about her relationship with the crew.
There was a lot of personal growth in the season, and it was a season that was more character driven than the first.
This season is very plot driven. All the characters, including Michael Burnham, are intent on putting Humpty Dumpty back together again. Burnham may be more obsessed with The Burn, but nevertheless, all the crew are aligned in the same direction. The character moments are more incidental within the context of the season's arc.
The centrality of Michael Burnham, at least for this season, seems more a product of being the protagonist. If someoone else had been the protagonist, that character's personal issues would be exposed more.

Most things about Spock were also about Burnham but Pike did get his own time and Saru too. I think so far S2 was the high point up until the red angel reveal and the pace jumping 1000kph with the control plot
Exactly so.
I always thought the "pink skin" put-down to be preposterous. Surely Shran must have seen Travis among other people so how can he collectively call them pink skins? Plus the Vulcans are not noticeably of a different tone of skin than humans. Who among the writers got the idiotic idea of having the Andorians call the humans "pink skin" I wonder...
Well obviously the Norse gods are more fragile than the Greek ones, every brother and sister of Zeus were swallowed whole by their father not long after they were born and remained so for an eternity, they were still alive and in good shape when Zeus freed them by opening the belly of his father who survived the operation.
Studied, no, aware of them, definitely. Gods are usually killed (assuming the mythology allows a god to be killed) by charms or things of a somewhat supernatural nature, not by something as mundane as particles. I've never heard in any myth of a god killed by science, except maybe the god of ignorance.
I posted (reposted) earlier in thread that I liked how they went about the various story arcs in season 2. I've also said I've not really liked the way season 3 is unfolding.
I don't mind having central figure/s in the show, but this season almost everyone bar Burnham feels like a damsel in distress. They are diminishing and making other characters less capable just to make Burnham look better. I think in wrestling (wwe) they call those characters jobbers.
It wouldn't bet against Georgiou and Vance becoming damsels at some point this season and Burnham saving them.
