Generally if someone is happy, they won't say anything, they will just keep on keepin' on.
If they are angry or upset, that will motivate them to make a statement.
Poll How positive are you about Discovery now?

Weird, I thought the comic-con panel implied otherwise.
I'd be happy to be wrong. This is where I got the idea: http://trekmovie.com/2017/07/23/sdc...nberry-space-mushrooms-and-a-reimagined-mudd/
I mostly got a bunch of press release hopefulness and the standard "we're doing things right this time" type of stuff I'd expect from the advanced publicity machine. "Tribbles are confirmed" was the only thing that actually caught my eye as something new. Unless I missed that from some other press release.
My vote went to "Somewhat positive but hesitant", but I'm really somewhere in between that and "Positive".
I think the aesthetics of the show look freaking gorgeous. I kind of wanted a Kelvinverse-style makeover of The Cage/Where No Man Has Gone Before uniforms, but the more I'm exposed to the DSC uniforms, the more I like them.
I'm glad they're taking a cinematic and serialized approach. Some of my current favorite shows are serialized, and I think if they truly are striving to adhere the narrative canon, it would be a little easier to do inside a serialized format.
I'm concerned that the show might be a little too dark. I love Game of Thrones, but I'm not sure that tone belongs in Star Trek. But of course, I only have two trailers to based that assumption on. It just might be the funniest, lighthearted thing Star Trek has ever done.
And I'm also concerned that people wont pay to see it. Yeah, on this board there seems to be an openness to trying out on CBS All Access, but when you check out the comments sections on social media, holy crap! It's almost 90-95% negative.
In conclusion to my ramblings that nobody will probably read
, I've pretty much committed myself to at least through the midseason break. I think eight episodes will be enough to judge.

This is where I stand with the added caveat that I find the look of it underwhelming from a design point of view. (This isn't about production value, that's certainly there.)
On the whole, I'm feeling positive. I'd be more positive if I had a better sense of what stories they want to tell and what advantage they think setting it in the vicinity of TOS gives them, but there's certainly virtue in being surprised, too.
I like the aesthetic of the show so far, and I don't mind it being a stealth reboot in that way; I'd like to see a new Star Trek that changes minds and draws in viewers who've never been drawn to the property before, and visual freshness is necessarily a part of that.
My hope for this show is that it will bring a little prestige to the property the way TNG did. By the end of ENT's run (at which point I thought the show was quite good), it was seen as just another maxtension of the brandchise. There's potential to change that and make a show that is part of the high-end drama conversation.
As network drama is dominated by procedurals, so is cable drama dominated by bleak shows about f----d-up people doing f----d-up things to each other. A Star Trek show with a hopeful view of humanity's future could be genuinely refreshing in the current climate.

Very positive, I can not wait.
I'm generally positive. I'm not thrilled with everything I've seen. I've said from day one that I don't want "again with the Klingons" and a complex "GOT in space," politics, and intergalactic intrigue series, which seems to be what we are getting.
That said, the look of the show is great, the cast and staff they've assembled is extremely talented, and they have certainly all said the right things.
I'm already a CBSAA subscriber, and I'm a lifelong Trek fan, so there's absolutely no reason for me not to be excited and supportive at this point and really hope for the best. It's a great time to be a fan.

Haven't been this excited since Voyager was announced!
...hopefully it turns out a little differently.

Positive and relaxed about it.
And I'm happy to put it aside if it doesn't work out with me. But I think it should be good.

I'm looking forward to it. It's new Star Trek for a new era. That's what is exciting me the most.
In what may come as a shock, I voted negative
what about their design (art direction?) do you find underwhelming? things like lighting or creature designs or
Exactly what I DO want.
The planet of the week 'Boldly Going' exploration thing got old during TNG. Then came Voyager and Enterprise .
Thankfully, DS9 was different...
You know, I get what you mean. Planet of the week, Alien of the week, Phenomenon of the week..... It gave us some good stuff, but also some very bad stuff. DS9, B5, BSG, shows with a developing plot spread over season(s), I love that stuff.
