How would that solve the problems with the writing in the show?
Or is it just easier to pretend that my only issue with Discovery is 'nurr the ships don't look like the '60s show ones nurrrrrrrrr'
Well that seems to have been the thing you were going on about the most, and to an extent i agree, especially with the deign choices of the klingon ships. But at least the federation ships LOOK like federation ships, the klingon ones just look like they were taken out of the "bad guy ship of the week" bin from the tng\dsd9 era. Going on about how the Enterprise has changed its look a bit from the 60's tv show in 2018 just seems a bit redundant.
As for writing, first seasons generally are a bit shaky as people are finding their feet, see how it goes in this season.
