| So thus far Star Trek Discovery sucks. |

Well there is this crackpot theory circulating that ST:D is set in the evil mirror universe and believe it or not episode 8 kind of alluded to that theory. I'll try to avoid spoilers, but there is a crew member that is currently hooked up to the spore drive that is hallucinating after a jump. They call the nerdy roommate "captain" and in a later scene explain that after a jump they feel "here in time and space one moment and events and history are shifted about the next" I mean that sounds like an alternate universe to me and I don't see how they could invent a universe darker than the one they already have. Of course things have been fairly terrible thus far, so it could just be bad writing. Honestly if there was anything to watch on Monday evenings I wouldn't be watching this train-wreck. |

It's a highly rated show. the internet says so. ::) personally i got two episodes in the Q and looking for other stuff to watch on hulu and netflix. it's not horrible or even bad, there is just other stuff i'd rather watch. |

Actually I haven't found a single person on the internet that liked it. Now clueless Hollywood critics, they love the pos. |

I like Discovery, a lot. I came in with very low expectations and am very happy so far. * There was at the start of the show about 60+ years of canon. Star Trek has always played a little fast and lose with canon in order to keep telling relevant stories for the time the current show is in. In TOS the Klingons stood in for the USSR, how many times did they talk about there all important religion before Next Gen? In STNG the became much more like the Japanese. Ones bitter enemies who have become close allies, and are honor obsessed warriors. Discovery is looking at modern issue’s like ethnocentrism, cultural preservation, and ultra nationalism. The Klingons and elements of the Volcans are being used to tell stories around these issues. Make the empire Great again!!! * Enterprise went out of it’s way to fit into the Canon and even fixing continuity, some 30 years after it was broken. And they had one good season (the second) where they had to leave the usual stomping grounds of the federation to free themselves up to tell a new interesting story. And it didn't fit into the original time line ether, do to time travel. There are lots of things I would have done differently, but I’m willing to give them time and space to tell new relevent stories. |
