It is without doubt that the production of Discovery has been a long, interminable train wreck. The show has faced setbacks at every turn, and has become a repeated embarrassment to CBS. Their prized hunting Falcon has become an Albatross for the launching of their paid online streaming service. (A service I subscribed to when Discovery was announced, in a gesture of support for their efforts.) They have been forced to explain themselves time and again to stockholders.
It would be hard to identify a more flawed and problem-ridden Trek series launch. I don't think that even Phase II encountered so many difficulties.
However, as I read about the perpetual stream of problems, I try to remind myself that in the myths and legends of many cultures, the Hero is often the product of a terrible, painful birth.
And so I hold out hope...
