Overall I would rate Season 1 a 9/10.
The finale wasn't my favorite episode. I see what they were going for, an alternate take on Balance of Terror. What if Pike was the captain during that conflict instead of Kirk?
The end was a little murky to me. The alternate future Pike made it sound like Spock was the key to peace with the Romulans. I think the real point was that Pike was at a crossroads, and his one choice ended up having insanely huge consequences. I think the real choice was that in that moment, Kirk's decision to engage the Romulans was the right one and prevented war and further bloodshed.
At the same time, I feel like constantly punishing Pike for following his gut and instincts was somewhat mean-spirited.
But overall this season has been a joy to watch. 10 episodes was a good length to me. I'd be fine if they keep the seasons at 10. I don't like insanely long seasons. I think 10 strikes a good balance.
I wish Moon Knight and Halo were as good as this show. I just enjoyed watching this show and the cast interact. Moon Knight and Halo just constantly disappointed me or made me cringe.
