Last Sunday’s episode of “Star Trek: Discovery” offered another play for conservative viewers.
The episode began with show star, Commander Michael Burnham, disgraced and imprisoned for her pre-emptive strike on a Klingon battle fleet. Soon thereafter, Burnham’s prison transport ship is damaged and she is rescued by the USS Discovery. Captain Gabriel Lorca then takes Burnham under his wing. I won’t spoil the episode for you, but at its culmination, Captain Lorca forgives Burnham for her attack on the Klingons.
