How triggered were you when you saw women be better than you?

Right, sorry. Still, we know that Spock is at least two years beyond the Academy by the events of this series.

You mean a Star Trek show did something socially progressive? Will wonders never cease! I thought up till now that Star Trek was a safe space for conservative white guys.

I thought it was pretty dreadful. It seems to be carving out its own continuity that has nothing to do with TOS or the reboot. It was all over the place and was cut in a weird, choppy way that was unpleasant to watch. Also, it would have pissed me off that it only gave me the first part of a two-part episode if I’d…

Wait, so someone who is ready for command of her own ship knocks out her captain and tries to mutiny the ship?

See, I loved “Broken Bow” and Enterprise as a whole from the get-go. I know I’m in the minority on this one.

I get the feeling the decision was made to jettison canon whenever it interferes with story or what looks cool (their definition of it anyway) so we are stuck with this impractical design where the actors can barely speak, emote, or move due to over complicated prosthetics, costumed and having to speak phonetically.

Glad to see you just copied and pasted your lazy ass comment from the AV Club.

We saw the whole High Counsel. They all look like that.

I still hate what they are doing with the Klingons... SMH 🤦‍♂️. I hope the writers have done all of this to give themselves room to develop the culture and character looks we all know. It’s irreparably not able to fit in what ever timeline Enterprise was in and I think if Gene were alive today he wouldn’t have…

Haven’t seen Klingons for 100 years, but Klingons killed her parents.

Societies do. Physiognomy doesn’t. Not like this. It’s not about the culture is about the way they look. There are many ways of dealing with the discrepancies of the Klingon appearance between TOS and TNG - ignore it, explain it.

I really REALLY wanted it to be good. First Star Trek series on TV in almost a decade. But what a total mess. Terrible writing, terrible acting, and with all the dutch angles and lense flares, I can’t help but think it was actually their intention to make this show look as much like Battlefield Earth as possible.…

And we didn’t get to see the titular Discovery in any of the two. very much an 80 minute teaser.

The entire plot is basically a criticism of the War on Drugs! In both movies politicians and world leaders are revealed to be heartless assholes only out for themselves (with the notable exceptions of Princess T and Fox the president’s aide)! The first movie criticizes British classicism and only gives a pass to those…

The biggest mistake CBS made was not airing the two parts on CBS. The first episode ends mid-story and is not satisfying enough to compel people to go to All Access. Episode 2, which has a resolution, great action and better character moments has me wanting more. Not sure how many people will get CBSAA based on what…

“this is only a decade before Spock shows up as the first officer of the Enterprise.”

If this show is going to posit that Sarek developed a distaste for it because of how it treated Burnham, I’m going to remind everyone that this is only a decade before Spock shows up as the first officer of the Enterprise. Spock should be in the Academy—or even out of it, given Vulcan aging—by now. So, Sarek turned on…

Ahh, all the reviews are for the first two episodes. We could only watch the first one that aired (late) on CBS and ended in a cliffhanger. I was under the assumption the PILOT would air on CBS, and the SECOND EPISODE onward would stream on CBSAA.

I assume the “Vulcan Hello” is leaning your holographic butt against a real table. How... why... what???
