Well, isn't this a shame...ful display of bad writing, bad acting, bad CGI, bad everything?
So, they encounter an unknown anomaly. Admiral Vance asks: "What exactly is it?" Well, it is an unknown anomaly, Admiral! :)
Okay, so what did they do? Hmm, I thought that they have the sphere intelligence aboard, "entity containing data spanning hundreds of thousand of years, which it collected from countless civilizations"? Maybe you can ask the entity if it knows what it is? No? Oh, you use the entity only when it suits you to push the plot? Okay. So dumb.
There is other stuff, like everybody breaking down mentally and emotionally at once. I mean, come on! Everybody has something or someone bothering them, everybody needs counseling, pep talks, pampering. Writers should not reflect so much their own phobias, frustrations and complexes in a sci-fi shows, especially in such a bad way. Star Trek always had time dedicated to handling personal issues, but not in such poorly written and BAM! In you face amateur way. Also, the show is so diverse, that at one point you have the female president of Ni'Var, female president of Federation and the female captain of the Discovery. Well, I guess the ferengi is male. I guess. And on the bridge there are five females and two guys. Well, when you have to check all the boxes...
Finally, the moment when I did not know whether to laugh or to cry: Burnham: "Here it comes, everybody brace!" Nobody braces! Not one person. Even the people seating down. Not even the person yelling to brace. :) And the CGI when they are thrown in the air, so bad. Someone wrote that they have mag boots, why don't they use them? Or, here is an idea, when someone yells brace, you...brace. I know, revolutionary.
This is so bad.
