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…

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.

“The first two episodes of Star Trek: Discoveryare thrilling, moving, and frequently unexpected.”

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…

So it looks like what we got was JJ Trek aesthetics and early Enterprise storylines. Swell. For God’s sake, the Klingons are not that interesting, no matter how ‘Extreme for Teens’ you make them. We know everything there is to know about Klingon politics, as Star Trek has been beating this particular dead horse for…

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

I guess I’m the only person here who didn’t like it. Ah well. Enjoy. I’ll stick with The Orville.

It took this show 2 hours to do something that could easily have been wrapped up in 44 minutes on tng, probably with a subplot about data learning about humour.

First half was okay, but ending the one preview episode on a cliffhanger made me a pretty firm “no” on going All Access. Bit of a shame, seemed to some cool stuff, a bit weird to have your first episode be either A) your protagonist being wrong for an hour or B) suggesting that pre-emptive violence is a good thing,…

Finally able to post after someone recommended me...anyway, I was satisfied with how Richard died. He was always written as a nasty little thug, never as anyone intelligent or worthwhile. At first I thought it was a waste to not see him with Audrey, but I didn’t really want to see that (and I don’t think I’m ever…
