Thank you for this great article, Chris!
While reading it I observed myself nodding all the time because I totally agree with what you wrote. I remember watching season one exactly two years ago now. I was skeptical after episode one and it reminded me of the Star Trek movies by J.J. Abrams which I never really enjoyed. So I wasn't convinced to be honest, especially after looking at the "new" Klingons. Yuck!
But... I went on and the "dark clouds" above my head quickly disappeared. I learned that the Discovery is quite a cool ship with its technologies and capabilities. I was also introduced to a pretty cool and "bad ass" Captain Lorca (well, by now we all know where he really came from...), etc. So I started to like the show and was sooo excited and thrilled when the Discovery was hailed by a well known vessel in the last episode of season one, the USS Enterprise 1701. Oh. My. Gosh!
Season two, now with the wonderful Captain Pike on the chair in the middle of the bridge, was phenomenal. I loved it. Spock, the signals, the Red Angel... just great. The only thing that made me skeptical again was the time jump that took place in the season finale. Almost 1000 years into the future? Wow, this will be interesting.
And it is indeed, because in my opinion season three is a blast - also thanks to Grudge!
Like Chris I'm sitting here now unpatiently waiting for the episodes being shown on Fridays (in Europe). Sometimes I'm biting my finger nails while watching, sometimes I'm even having a little tear in my eye, always I'm enjoying every single minute.

Excellent Article,
When they jumped so far forward into the future I was skeptical. I thought it was akin to jumping the shark. I was still going to watch but I was definitely more skeptical than I was in Season 1. I give credit to Michelle Paradise I think she has kept the show on a steady course. Balancing what we knew and what is new in this tragic future unfolding before us. Now like you and Alex, Thursdays (I'm in the US) are the day that I have to rush home and watch Star Trek Discovery.
