Is discovery worth it?

Neflix has a lot of other shows other than Discovery.

Neflix has a lot of other shows other than Discovery.

And? That still doesn't make it free.

Well, nothing is free. I pay a BBC licence fee, I can watch commercial TV channels which require me to watch advertising, I can subscribe to a satellite or cable service (and still watch yet more adverts), or I can sign up to an an ad-free subscription service like Netflix and get access to archive programmes and new content.

I watched the whole episode and was thoroughly unimpressed with pretty much all of it, though the "sand planet" was pretty idiotic--not to mention a blatant violation of the Prime Directive.

Weren't they there to fix a mining accident the natives did not create?

I love it when people don't pay attention and then scream "horrid writing".

He should've taken notes.

If you like TNG, VOY, DS9 and the way the episodes were made, you will probably not like Discovery.

I think this is too general to be true. I agree that if you're a dyed-in-the -wool TNG or VOY fan and can quote Picard's greatest speeches and Janeway's most effective lectures to 7of9...yeah, this is likely to not appeal.

But, I think it's very much in the mold of TOS, ENT and DS9 in therms of character relationships, tone, action/adventure, arcs, etc.
