re: Star Trek Strange new Worlds Season 2

I think people are going to see what they want to see in this episode. It could be taken many different ways, just like a lot of older Star Trek episodes from all of the different shows could be construed however the viewer wants to see it. That is what Star Trek has always been good at, except for Discovery and season 2 of Picard, letting the viewer interpret the meaning without pounding them over the head with it. They typically play this strategy very well, and have done it for a long time.
I chose to take it at face value, and thought it wasn't a bad episode. I totally get why some folk are calling it 'woke', and are saying to Hell with the show. Season one was really, really good though. I am not ready to toss this out yet. I'd like to see what happens when Pike comes back full time.

I'm not really digging this season thus far and it's mainly from a character standpoint.
Spock - They are playing him with far too much emotion, especially thus far this season. The very rare instances of emotion (outside of some drug or mental control/influence) in the TOS were far fewer and muuuuuuch more subtle. I know this Spock is younger, but portraying him with so much emotionality (and more to come in E3, if the trailer is accurate) just doesn't feel right for that character.
Christine Chappel - In TOS she was a recurring character with no combat abilities and her "romance" with Spock was always stopped just before it went too far, this happened (at different times) with Christine and Spock being the ones to pull back. The current series has not only over-shot that mark by a wide margin already, they've made Christine the new "strong female" character du jour. The two are so dissimilar as there is no real way to reconcile them other than to pull an Abrams and have a history re-rewriting event.
Pike - More Pike. The end.
#1 - Boring character. There's no #1 in TOS, that position came about in TNG. I'm not sure why they brought it back for this series.
Dr. M'Benga - So far, so good. He has had some interesting development.
Uhura - Not a big fan of making her some sort of super-communications-specialist right off the bat, but at least she's not another clone. She would be better written as still having a lot to learn (as it is, she's pretty much already at or beyond TOS Uhura). Her character this season (both episodes of it lol) has been pretty good.
