James Frain is a wonderful actor that brings an extra depth to Sarek in my opinion.
The first night I sat and watched Discovery I loved the intro as it was bringing the Star Trek franchise back to my regular viewing pleasure. Since, I've wished it was a little shorter in length.
I'm very torn about the show. I keep waiting for it to get better, for them to find there stride... Which I fear at this point may not happen. I will keep watching as I love Star Trek and will be as supportive as possible hoping that the writing and acting will improve. I think that in making it so pc it is loosing its way. The premise of Star Trek already embraces equality in both gender and ethnicity.
