While I overall enjoy the show, I have to agree with this whole morphing Uhura into Burnham, or I guess more accurately, the JarJar Abrams version of Uhura. We don't need another incarnation of Mary Sue/Space Jesus. They're not quite there yet, but it sadly seems to be heading that way.
Uhura was a solid supporting character, but at the end of the day, she mostly sat there and opened hailing frequencies, and that was about it. And she needed a goddamn translation book to talk to the Klingons when they couldn't use the universal translator.
