This episode has sci-fi in spades, and that is very good. We get to know some more of the crew, and this episode both answer some questions and starts some new ones.
My only big caveat with this episode is how Burnham always is the solver or catalyst to solving the problems.
I am all for strong and knowledgable characters. But why have a starship with crew and scientists if one person can fix 95% of the issues that arise? That's not good star trek or storytelling in general. Use the crew (more) and let the captain lead and this would be good star trek.
