Remember from Message in a Bottle?
When the two Holograms are trying to pilot the ship?
When the two Holograms are trying to pilot the ship?
I'm reminded of Pike's "You can be an officer in four years, have your own ship in eight." from his pitch to Kirk in the Shipyard Bar.
I would've liked to have seen what made Georgiou think she was a great officer. Versus being told. I think it would've been far more interesting to have seen her in that situation versus the Klingon PTSD episodes.
That, and he often had that large earpiece feeding him real time information that only he could hear.
Uhura and Spock quietly put in their earpieces when no one is looking.
Spock: "It appeared to be some kind of clown from mid-20th century Earth."
Uhura: "You're not the only one. I've seen that clown too."
Spock: "Facinating."
Very solid first episode. 
Mapping question: the binary system serving as the backdrop is stated to be six lightyears from Gamma Hydra.
Using the Whitten Starmap utility, I got this result. The two closest systems to Gamma Hydra known to Whitten's database - which was assembled before we started getting results back from GAIA's galaxy-mapping project - are both at least 10 ligthtyears distant: 55 and 57 Virginis. Due to the lack of GAIA data available to me, and my lack of ability to work the data, that doesn't rule out a dimmer system fitting the distance range from γ Hya as cited, mind you...
(If anyone's already covered this either in this thread or over at Trek Tech, could you please link me to that info?)

I think you're overthinking this a bit...
[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 12183166, member: 16845"I enjoyed the first episode. What was nice was that I didn't feel that I was watching Starfleet's finest. [/QUOTE]
I didn't feel I was watching Starfleet. Certainly no team I would hire to run a starship... or even a houseboat.

This may be giving too much credit. The "Feds to left, Klingons to right" thing was a feature of many early maps already, including Probert's fancy "Conspiracy" one. That's where the Star Charts picked it, too, but assorted Okudagrams kept the thing going independently in DS9 until Star Charts began to be a thing in Treklit, STO and finally the latest movies.
The "Feds to upper right" is a rather obvious dramatic convention that would probably have happened even had the Star Charts not taken Okuda's arrangement of Romulans up (coreward), Klingons down (rimward), Feds left (spinward) to heart. The good guys can't be striking from down below, after all!
And the curvature of the border is just curvature - it can't be a straight line or it doesn't look good... As we learned at the floor of the Romulan Senate.
All that said, the half a dozen onscreen maps from various movies and shows that do look like the Star Charts one are certainly not in conflict with the Star Charts or with each other, which is very, very nice. Better not study them too accurately, is all.

@Ricky Spanish, I was going by a report i'd read online. They projected 2-5 million viewers would watch it given the nature of the service.
Guess it's kinda like when the other spin-offs came out on SKY, just only a matter of time. I used to have subscription, but now rely on freeview.

You know, I just can’t get past the Klingons. Like come one. These species are just stupid in this show. I know it’s 10 years before Kirk but seriously a species can’t evolve that quick!
You can't take the science in this show seriously. Janeway turned into a salamander and back in one episode.
Lol. This is true.
Nah, it's taken them fifty-one years to look like that.
But did they?
It would have been so much easier to replace Janeway with a clone, than reverse her genetic damage.
Well, hell Picard basically ran a carpeted Hotel (with families aboard - so yeah, I get your point.
