Something I’ve noticed, I don’t know if anyone else is the same: the strongest nostalgia I feel is for times when I wasn’t that happy. It’s almost like what I’m feeling is a wish I could do things over — almost.

I am definitely in the “this isn’t Star Trek” camp. I dislike Discovery’s tone, its setting in the time before the Original Series, its storylines, its characterisations, and its design. Yet I am following the show by means of websites and podcasts, just to stay current on it. (I would watch it if it were on…

I haven’t seen that episode yet, so I just skimmed that review very broadly, but in my opinion, this show didn’t have a soul to lose yet.

Why would I do that? Discovery is shit. Orvillie is cute, fun, and creative. It captures the spirit of Trek far better than the fan service bullshit with Spock’s super-secret step sister that we never heard about over 50 years of shows. Wow... Actual Trek made by people who have less respect for Trek than McFarland.…

I officially stopped watching this show on this episode. I was already disappointed with the Lorca storyline, I was disappointed that they seem to favor crappy action over good sci-fi... and then they started dropping F Bombs. Seriously? Let me tell you why that’s a problem. I started watching Star Trek with my…

The story of how the Federation found its moral center is supposed to be rooted in the post-war 21st century and the era immediately following First Contact... a moral center that we found with a great deal of help from the Vulcans.

It appears everyone is zeroing in on the issue I detected in the first episode, the abandonment of the ethical high ground that the Federation has always maintained.

I was going to watch this as it aired (goddammit, CBS, and your insane streaming only ploy), but after some initial reactions from my Trekkie friends I’ve changed my mind. I can’t commit my time and attention to something that’s just going to disappoint me. I can’t go through Weeds or Justified again. Maybe after the…

Yeah, to be fair it’s best described as “a bad show only morons could like”

Everything about the spore drive and the portrayal of the Klingons, from their ships to their look, is just terrible. This show is taxing to watch as a Star Trek fan. It sure feels like the people who are making it really, really hate Star Trek and its philosophy.

I’ve given up on this show. From now on I’ll stick to The Orville, which ironically feels much more like a Star Trek show than this one.

I’m not really sure how much I like a Star Trek show being about how one character is the smartest and the best and the only one who can save everything.

Can someone explain to me why everyone blames Michael for the war and all the people that died at that first battle? If she succeeded in her mutinee and fired first, I can see it... but she didn’t and the Klingons fired first. She did kill what’s his name, but I mean I imagine a lot of people would consider them at…

I liked this episode compared to last weeks, still not fully on board with the changes but the story furthered along and we actually got character development over action which feels more Trek than the opening ep.

I enjoyed it, but the tone felt weird. I kept thinking the mood of it all had more in common with “Battlestar Galactica” than anything “Star Trek.”

This is Kelvin timeline tech and aesthetics, all the way through.

I totally forgot how ridiculous Sarek’s reaction to her killing a Klingon was. Yeah, no...his reaction would not be “it’s poetic justice” that you killed a Klingon.

Oh boy, I have thoughts. Caveat: I only saw the first half that was shown on CBS and in fact did not know that they considered this a two hour pilot.

Given the heavy hitters involved, Nicholas Meyer and Bryan Fuller, ST:D (well, that’s certainly a sucky connotation) ought to blow everyone out of the water. After one ep, meh, way too early to tell other than, wow, I’ve seen mannequins at Sears with less wooden acting. So let’s nit-pick:

Star Trek: Discovery has…

Okay, having just seen the first episode, um....what? What the fuck was this?
