Well, I'm just going to babble about this to myself then.
Truth be told, I've always been more of a trekker than a Star Wars fan - despite the fact that many have nicknamed me Yoda, Spock was far more influential. And I do tend to sell more when I write because that's how I make my living; I'm sure you've all noticed how that effects my posts. What I've always luved about ST is its attitude of diversity. I luv Star Wars too, but the racial issues sully it (Weird aliens live in hives of scum and villainy, Wookiees don't get medals, the first black character is a betrayer, the racial caricatures in ep1, and don't even get me started one rogue one's diverse cast that all dis in the end). Discovery is taking diversity to even greater levels, so much that the alt-right are boycotting the show, which is its strongest endorsement in my book.
E7 was the best so far. Now Discovery feels like Abrams ST movies, a new time arc, updated and fresh, with good throwbacks to the original. E7 brought out the humor, developed the characters, and managed to contain the bulk of the plot in the single ep. Now we're on course and eager to go where no one has gone before. E7 was a classic ST time loop ep, with Rainn Wilson as Mudd doing a Bill Murray Groundhog Day. Quite satisfying.
Now I really want one of the black federation badges.
