For those who's seen it

For me, I'd say 8.5/10. Very good, but not quite excellent. Eagerly awaiting the next episode.

But that's kind of like saying TWoK isn't a sequel to TMP because the director, producers, SFX, makeup, etc. are all new crew, the gap in time notwithstanding.

Agreed. About the only episode I actually care to watch nowadays is "The Inner Light." Coincidentally, Sir Patrick is looking a lot like his Kamin character. Rather good predictive aging there.

It can be both............they don't mean the same thing. It was the debut of Picard.

debut

perform or appear in public, or to be shown or introduced to the public, for the first time:

A+ Best Star Trek premiere for me

 

[11Alive]

debut

perform or appear in public, or to be shown or introduced to the public, for the first time:

By that definition, every episode of every show when it's first broadcast is a debut.

You are correct.....episode 2 will debut Thursday. It is also a continuation of Picard's story more so than a sequel to TNG. That has been started over and over since it was announced.

Wow a rare posting from someone with one of the best avatars on the board. I haven't seen it yet but your endorsement is encouraging and that TOS feline with the penetrating stare is still way cool.



Glad it lived up to your expectations. I like history and want to see Star Trek use its history while telling new stories and also bringing in a new generation of characters. This show is going to do that.

I know it is just one episode but did recently rewatching TNG add to your enjoyment of this pilot? Did it bring home the enormity of revisiting (after almost twenty years) a character with a big history in the franchise? Did Seven appear yet and if so did she seem more human and adjusted to her post Borg life? Seems to me that she should.

Actually nevermind about Seven it must be too soon for her to appear.

I loved at the end they used the music from the TOS Ep. "Balance of Terror."

A. Loved it!

 

[Underfunded]

A. Great episode. This episode and the two seasons of Discovery show that Kurtzman Trek is superior to Berman Trek.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

A. Best Trek pilot ep.

 

[Reanok]

A good episode 8/10

 

[Quinton]

A- and/or 9/10; take your pick. A seriously strong premiere and one which fills me with even greater hope for the show than I had going into it.
