Well, the characters now are different than those in the previous shows like the TNG (which you berate). Those characters were imagined as different and more civilized than us, like we would be different to cavemen, while these new characters are like today's modern people and that's why this show looks less convincing to me than TNG or Voyager.
Also, I didn't like the last episode because, for starters, Section 31 failed to make any sense: both Section 31 and Pike wanted Spock and what does he know about Red Angel, but the difference is that Section 31 wanted to torture him to get the info while Pike just spoke to him for few seconds and got to know everything there is to know. So in the end Starfleet got what it wanted.
Also Section 31 was only featured in DS9 where it was a joke but here it's making Pike crap his panties. If he had any balls, like Picard or Kirk, he would have blasted their ship with torpedoes back to Stupidistan where it came from, and then if Starfleet gives him any qualms about it, resign for them even to allow such criminal organization to exist - you see this is again that archaic mentality I was talking about?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
