    The Articles got a few issues. Jo Martin was technically the first black actor to portray the doctor. Just not as a season Focus doctor. More of a tangent introduced during the chibnail era.

    That said, despite being a yank who is just going to be behind to begin with. And still haven’t watched every bit of the new stuff that’s available to me yet. I’m not had any issue with him in the episode that he has been in. Honestly I think if anything the writing is the bigger problem. Not that it’s an easy job. For a series with basically an 80-year legacy. It’s going to be hard to find fresh and new stories/takes to tell. Especially with chibnail burning through a lot of new lore Etc badly. In a flailing effort to make up for his poor screenwriting. It’s absolutely been an improvement since chibnail. But perhaps not enough to save things.

        Aaaah yes, absolute brain fart there. You are quite correct. Still, quite a run. Even trek hasn’t had that sort of continuity.
