Second episode is a lot better. This is the one they should've shown on TV.
That was Data's great aunt.
I liked Frain on Gotham, but I'm not feeling his Sarek. Not a pinch on Mark Lenard.
Nothing special, but it was still pretty good. Klingons are boring, weirdo science officer I didn't like. Oh look, let's out talk a computer just like Kirk did! But wait, don't you see, he's white on one side and black on the other?
I'll give it a few more episodes to stretch it's legs better, and I need to see Discovery before I start thinking about if CBSAA is worth it.

Remember on Enterprise when T'Pol was always the one urging Captain Archer to shoot the Klingons down every time they met them in an episode? Now we know why.
It would've made Unexpected and Sleeping Dogs much more interesting episodes.
Now excuse me, I'm going to immediately pay for and watch the second episode to this series I apparently hate.

I don't remember the initial response to Broken Bow being overexaggerated complaints about meaningless crap, which is what 90℅ of this negativity amounts to.
Just because you like it doesn't mean people can't have complaints. The first episode was 90% crap. That's not being negative, that's calling it like I see it. The 2nd episode is much better. Much more engaging, and not a bore-fest.
Timey wimey weebly wobbly. I don't know the answer, but I really got the impression that this would become Pike's Number One.
I remember thinking, 'how can Scott Bakula be so awesome and charismatic as Sam Beckett and so dull and irritating as Jonathan Archer?'
^ Having complaints generally requires there to be something to complain about, and, for the most part, there was very little in this episode that was worthy of criticism.
The one guy talking to Burnham like an airline pilot was at least an attempt to break through that a bit. I don't mind Star Trek language, it helps sell the quasi-military environment and that they're working as professionals.
No kidding, right? Such a disappointment.
Broken Bow was the greatest first episode of a Star Trek series ever. The first season of Enterprise was not-so-great, but it's first episode was amazing, timey-wimeyness and dull Archer included.
Here's hoping that the first season of Discovery reverses that prospect.
That might be the problem--unfair or not. Lenard was one of those guys who owned every frame he was ever in. Balance of Terror would not have been the same without him.
But then just look at how important Sarek has become to the franchise, even though, if you added all the time up (including his TNG appearances) it doesn't amount to a whole lot. But he made his mark because Lenard made it so.
And I think his presence was really important to the character. In a lot of ways, he was torn between the two worlds--and trying to make them work together--more than Spock was because his job literally depended on it. And yet Sarek came across as a guy who demanded attention and respect whenever he entered the room, no matter what people were saying behind his back.
That was all on Lenard. And I just don't get it from Frain.
Yup. I gave Bow much higher marks. Honestly, I can't think of a weaker Star Trek pilot. I mean there were only five (Six if you include Cage.) And they're all better than this was.
This is why I'm not getting cable back just to see Discovery on Space.
Damn was that good. Hands down best star trek pilot ever. Nice play with the title as well.
Blame American football, if Space hadn’t simulcasted with CTV it wouldn’t have happened.
"Where No Man Has Gone Before", "Emmissary" & "Caretaker" were all better television.
