Rate and Discuss Discovery Episode 1x01 'To Boldly Go' (Spoilers)

I didn't realize that happened so early in the show, I thought it was towards the end after Ron Howard left.

The question is: Did the series get significantly worse after that episode?

 

[Paradise City]

I didn't think I would. But I enjoyed the space hippie captain based on the thought provoking TOS episode "The Way to Eden" who always has his ukulele on hand to sooth tensions in tight diplomatic fixes, giving the pilot a touch of the musical about it. I particularly liked it when at one point the Klingon commander Sporf (presumably a descendant of our very own Worf), "broke his cool" grabbed the ukulele and shattered it off the bulkhead, ensuring Captain Swampy won that particular battle of brinkmanship.

Charlie Sheen was pretty good as the Admiral

It's just a shame the writers pandered to him as much as they did. We did not need him talking about "Winning!" five times in the episode.

Jon Cryer was good as the Admiral's unsuccessful brother though.

Who'd be dumb enough to face them in CQB!!?

I thought the episode did a poor job of celebrating Star Trek's 50th Anniversary.

I understand that R4-M9 appears as an Easter egg.

 

[Seven of Five]

I was happy to see the main credit sequence that showed every shuttle crash sequence in history as an homage. The fact that it took up the whole of the episode just made it more awesome.

It does? I'll have to be more attentive next time!
