Star Trek: Discovery has featured an unusually high number of captains on the titular ship’s bridge, but only one officer is the show’s true leader.
Star Trek: Discovery has featured a surprisingly high number of commanding officers over its first four seasons, but only one captain is the show's true leader. Part of the novelty of Discovery's original premise was that it would be the first Star Trek show where the captain was not the main character.
6. Captain Gabriel Lorca Initially presented as a man hardened and traumatized by the events of the Federation-Klingon War, Captain Gabriel Lorca turned out to be a much more nefarious character. Lorca was a refugee from the Mirror Universe who had replaced his Prime timeline counterpart years earlier. He manipulated and exploited the crew of the Discovery with the sole aim of overthrowing the Mirror Universe Terran Emperor, Phillipa Georgiou .
4. Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell was a good person pushed to extreme actions by the horrors of war. She took temporary command of the Discovery after its return from the Mirror Universe and was instrumental in approving Georgiou's to destroy the Klingon homeworld. When Burnham and the rest of the Discovery crew refused to essentially commit genocide, Cornwell relented, and a new, less destructive plan was enacted.
It's easy to forget how much criticism was lobbed at Discovery season 1. Most Star Trek shows take a season or two to find their creative footing, but Discovery season 1 had such massive problems of tone and narrative that it felt as if the show may have been beyond repair. Pike's arrival changed all of that almost immediately, and while Discovery was never really his story, it's no surprise that he got his own spinoff, the wildly popular Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
