It’s not just the Klingon stuff, it’s all the tragedy and drama. Mostly on La’an and Una’s side. Spock is a culprit too, but at least his personal drama leads to shenanigans, which makes him tolerable. La’an and Una are no fun. Uhurua, Ortegas, Hemmer, and the engineer who got no arcs in season 2 are all more fun. Pike is boring but that’s okay because he knows how to let everyone else shine.
