I’m enjoying weekly Trek again.

Yeah, it's fun. I held off getting CBS All Access because how many channels do I wish to pay for? But OK, they got me for the Trek.
I've resigned myself to the fact that modern Trek will have some aspects I don't like, such as Mission Impossible stunts and Jason Bourne fighting. Shrug, I won't nitpick, it is what is it, accept it and move along. As for the dark style, I can take it or leave it. Since I have it, I will take it. I do quite enjoy one of the main non-Trek things, that is making somebody besides the captain the person that the camera follows most. That is a refreshing change; it helps when crafting new stories.

I for one am enjoying weekly Trek again. Massively.
Yes, there are some things I haven't liked. Georgiou's early exit. Sec. chief acting stupidly. The absurdidity of leaving the two ships adrift for 6 months at the binary stars. Still, plot holes & characters acting rashly are not unknown in the Trek verse.
But it has been well acted. Is visually really cool. I like that the captain isn't the lead. I don't mind that it is a tad dark. It is war, after all.
First time on Trek board. Been surprised at some of the vitriol a lot of 'fans' have towards STD and various other Trek incarnations. There is no one type of Trek.

Me too as far as disappointment. It's not as good as past Trek.
I'm barely hanging on in there to make 7 episodes
Is this supposed to be funny? Or genuinely obnoxious?
22 posts and you're already regularly whining about "SJW", "safe places", "metrosexual" and so many more things. Try and make us believe you're not a troll if you want to stick around.
Comments to PM.

Why torture yourself if you find it so unentertaining? It's not going to magically change format this or next week.
As a kid I used to sit with my dad and my brother and watch new episodes of TNG. As a teen, my brother lost interest, but me and my father would still watch every episode of DS9 and Voyager together.
By Enterprise however, I was living on my own, and neither of us had the passion for it we used to, probably due to franchise fatigue and a general "meh" product.
But Discovery? We both subscribe to the app-- and after watching it with my own 13yr old son-- every monday at lunch I call my (now retired) father from work to discuss the previous night's episode.
TREK IS BACK, and as a son and a father, I couldn't be happier.

It happened on The Oralville. They went from excellent last week to stinker this week. Weekly episodes of any show are like boxes of chocolates...
Few reasons.. I'm a Star Trek devotee.. I got Netflix free for a month.. I live in hope
I’m enjoying the show, but man is it dark. Makes DS9 look like a garden party. A paranoid Starfleet, it’s ideals in question. A refelection of our times? TOS and TNG in more hopeful environment I guess. Interested to see if they run into Pike, or Decker, or even Kirk, how their characterizations would fit wth the likes of Lorca.
