Star Trek TOS: what if the captain was a slut who got in fights all the time and did whatever the hell he wanted and it all sort of worked out anyway
TNG: what if the captain drank tea and gave speeches instead
DS9: what if the captain was a single father and religious figure trying to hold onto his morals in the face of an existential threat
Voyager: what if the captain was trying to get her unruly scout troop back home and also she had a GUN
Enterprise: what if the captain was a massive dweeb
Kelvin timeline: what if the first guy was actually a horny frat boy
Disco: what if the captain was a cryptofascist? no wait, what if he was just sooooooo handsome, like so mind-meltingly handsome that is just feels unfair? wait, what if he was a deer? no actually what if she did whatever the hell she wanted, but also felt emotions about it?
Picard: what if the captain was a secondary character driven into solitude by his PTSD, and then we suddenly replaced him with some dipshit from Chicago
Lower Decks: what if the captain was your well-meaning perfectionist mother
Prodigy: what if the captain was a purple teenager
SNW: what if the captain was your dad

You can think about Star Trek Discovery all you want.
You can say about it not having enough emotion all you want.
It will not stop me from bawling my eyes out, everytime I watch "An Obol for Charon" (s02e04] or "Project Daedalus" (s02e09) or the whole dying thing from Hugh Culber or sad Baby Spock or when Micheal reunites with the crew or...
Think what you are, but I do not believe that there are no emotions inthis show.
Please no disrespectful comments, I can understand, when some people do not agree with my opinion but that's what it is, my opinion.
I like DIscovery. It has definetly room for improvement but that applies to almost every movie or tv show out there.

"Mariner x Locarno, Burnham x Lorca, B'Elanna x Vorik, and Khan x Marla are my guilty pleasure ships. I'm not saying these guys deserved a happy ending because frankly, the women deserve better, but I do like said pairings for the character dynamics and interactions."

At the point during Disco S1 when it became clear that Lorca had a secret agenda, and there was buzz about a mirror-universe twist, I thought of a storyline that seemed to fit so well, I convinced myself I was at least partially right:
Lorca's ship, the Buran, had somehow been transported to the mirror universe mid-battle. Lorca had escaped, but his crew remained trapped there. Realizing that Discovery was the only ship that could get to the mirror universe, but also that, even if anyone believed him, Starfleet wouldn't just give him the ship with the prototype spore drive in the middle of the Klingon war, he came up with the story about the Buran's destruction and set about gaining control of Discovery. So he was deceitful, but he wasn't evil -- he was a captain determined to rescue his crew, even if it meant going behind Starfleet's back. I even thought it was possible that, at some point, he had taken Burnham into his confidence, which would have made sense in light of her demonstrated willingness to go rogue in service of what she deemed to be a good cause.
Instead, for Lorca, we got a bait-and-switch story about a guy who seemed to have layers and nuances, but turned out to simply be a cartoon villain, and for Burnham, a redemption arc where her character completely changed for no convincing reason.
Unfortunately, this became a pattern on the show: Introduce a promising storyline with intriguing possibilities; fumble it with a rushed, unsatisfying conclusion; reset and start over. I don't expect Disco's final season to be any different, except of course there won't be any more resets.
