Sigh, #StarfleetAcademy was doing so well at using travel as a compelling narrative device, with lingering shots in shuttles and turbolifts as a way to inform the audience about the feelings of characters and interpersonal dynamics.

But then, as they are almost finishing the season, they fell right back into #JJAbrams-style instantaneous travel to build false drama at the expense of crafting an expansive universe where characters are limited by some fundamental rules of physics and technology.
