Star Trek: Discovery

Good, bad or indifferent?

The one episode I saw was pretty good. I didn't watch the second one which was available on network TV 'cause I didn't want to get hooked. I ain't signing up for their damned service just to watch the rest of 'em. Fuck 'em I say. I'll pirate the damn thing off the net.

I'm not sure that it's good enough that I would get All Access if I didn't already have it.
 
i have no idea. i watched a few episodes of orville, though. it's, ummm, a thing that exists. i didn't hate it, but i found it fairly dull and often quite forced. so a lot like 1st season tng, really.

still can't find the strength to watch discovery. maybe some day.

Yeah, it's Star Trek, it will always be there.

I liked The Orville better when it was called Galaxy Quest.

I miss the humor, and the banter between Spock and Bones this new one is so dark and depressing, the star trek world was hopefull, and one I would like to live in.

I like to think in the future (even a fictional one) our problems would've been solved.

There was one scene were two of the characters had tee shirts on that said Disco, for a moment I hoped that disco the music, had made a comeback in the future!, but Disco was the abbreviation for the ship Discovery! Now that would have been funny if disco was in again!

You've made some good points.

Star Trek has always presented an optimistic vision of the future. This darker version is probably unsettling to a lot of fans.

very much this.


it rebels entirely against canon
into which
it must... if star trek
fit...

it is an interesting glossy dark tale
but it is not star trek

it is battlestar something...
but...
not at one with either enterprise or tos...
the bookends;
or anything, really...

even references to canon in dialog feel to be bait at best...

orville's 'wackiest ship in the army' run
is far more at home
as a 'union' stepchild
 
My name is debbie and I'm a Trekky and sadly report that I canna stand Star Trek: Discovery.

Even writing the words - it is painful.


I really really really want to like it but I don't.

The klingons? Blech.

Michael Burnham? Ugh.

Saru is my favourite character so far.


Special effects? Impressed.

Still watching? Aye, captain.

Just.
 
Not having a big problem with it as strictly sci-fi entertainment. I get the gripes of the purists and hardcore old-school fans. This feels severely off-canon for the time period it's supposed to be set in.

Production value is definitely off the chain, feels like cinema quality.

I like the character of Michael Burnham. She's pretty much acting exactly like a human raised in a Vulcan environment would act. I get that part of the storyline here is about her redemption and further growth.

I'll rock with it until the end. It wouldn't hurt to have a bit more mirth and lightness, though.
 
Me i was kind of interested in the new Star trek, but when i realized it would only be on this CBS all access this was my main thought:

Greedy m*therfuckers!

From what i could see of the first episode i do have to agree with the comments they did bastardize the look of the Klingons.

I do realize they were probably going for a "this is a klingon before STNG" sort of thing but honestly did they have to make them look like power rangers?

god d*mn f*cking people taking "artistic" liscense with good memories from my childhood.

STD, no thanks its SJW Star Trek and makes the kilngons into victims at the hands of the join or die federation .

Its not old school Trek and only meant for the younger viewer.

STD bad name choice!
