Jed Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 First 3 eps have aired, trek fans and non fans, what do you think ? Grew up on TOS and later STTNG. I tried but was never a fan of DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise. After the first few eps , I think Star Trek is making it's best comeback in a long time. The storyline is good so far, effects fantastic. I like the girl from walking dead (forgot the actress's name) as main character, a human raised on Vulcan. At first I didn't like the tall skinny weirdo alien but he is growing on me. I'm liking his physical and emotional quirks. not going to comment on specific events happening yet as I'm sure a lot of people are yet to catch it, don't want to spoiler anything. I'm hopeful for this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyamusements Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Watched the first two and it is slowly growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasp Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I like it. I have always been more of a fan of the series thathave more complicated plots and build on previous episodes like Babylon 5, DS9 and so on. While I did also like the exploration ones like Next Gen I just couldn't get as much into them. I suppose I like seeing the consequences of actions and so the series that were mostly about turning up discover something/solve a problem then move on didn't have as much appeal to me. Discovery seems to creating a nice plot so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I've watched the first 2 episodes and I think it is good so far. I'll be interesting where they take the Klingon stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claviclemy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Looks better than any star trek series before it, time will tell if the plots are up to snuff liked the first 2 episodes, (or the pilot), episode 3 had a weird vibe to it but want to see where its going. So far i'm liking most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1807 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Grew up on TOS and later STTNG. I tried but was never a fan of DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise. I'm hopeful for this series. It took awhile for Enterpise to get going, the lack of technology made it hard to bear at first, but the series grew on me. DS 9 was a trifle sedate, Voyager too took a while. But as with Discovery, we will need to see where it goes. First ST series without the input of one of the long term people - see Brandon Braga is now producing "the Orville " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madal Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Watched the 3 on net flick. Looks to be ok, something new from within the old story. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narf_ Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Havent watched it yet but theres a few easter eggs from the original Also im told klingon is available in subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femto Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It bothered me a bit that the technology is way ahead of the original series even though it is set prior to the original show. Not a deal breaker but there it is. I have enjoyed the show so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefjedi Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Watched the 3rd epp last night and I am liking it was a fan of next gen and voyager(mmm Jerri Ryan) none of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipPagan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I do not like it, Sam I am I do not like this Star Trek Sham People say "Yay Klingon Warfare" But I see no Klingon's anywhere 23rd Century holographic communications, what a sight! Yet such standard was beyond even the 24th centuries technological might! Remember how phasers were energy beams? Now they're all Star Wars blasters it seems They said again and again "This is all Prime" But that's horseshit this is a reboot timeline Neither Prime, nor Kelvin, nor Mirror too And frankly as a Trek fan, it feels like Trek Poo Yet, if it were just a new sci-fi franchise You'd probably find more joy in these here eyes ---- That's enough of that. As a Star Trek show I don't like it at all. If it were honest and just a new sci-fi franchise that wasn't pretending to be Star Trek I'd probably like this a hell of a lot more than I do. Go forward, not back. YOU ****ED IT UP CBS. But I'm honestly not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasp Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Can't you just attribute everything to time travel? Wrong tech, not following lore. Must be someone time traveled :) I don't really follow the star trek lore too much and have no idea about when things occured with star dates. However I thought the klingons originally looked like humans but a genetic weapon changed them. This series they look even more deformed so I am guessing they are just ignoring that fact.

grimnim Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Never watched Star Trek aside from the movies and this. I’m already into it but still getting used to the chick from walking dead being cast main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki4101 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 After watching the 3rd episode I'm starting to agree with @ShipPagan Enjoying it but its starting to feel like they just slapped the star trek name on a random show. the more I watch the less it feels like star trek to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
