I thought I'd start a thread where we can discuss our overall impressions of the show without posting spoilers. This will help some of us who cannot watch until later but may want to hear what people think of the quality.

To kick things off I found a (early) spoiler free review here:

I GUESS IF, THIS LIFELONG TREKEE WATCHES ‘STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’ IF AT ALL … it will be when it comes out on BluRay or SEASON PASS on iTunes or AMAZON or the like …

I refuse to pay the unconscionable fees ($5.99 per month with commercials / $9.99 without commercials) that CBS ALL-ACCESS wants … especially the way they will split up the seasons.

In short, screw’m.

They think they’re reinventing the wheel here by we the people only doing this their way and not the way things have worked for the past 10-plus years with on-line purchase and download.

In short, screw'm.

CBS ALL-ACCESS will not tell me … let alone we the people … that in order to watch this shows 12 episode interrupted lineup — it must be (every single time) from their cloud and not my hard drive downloads.

In short, screw'm.

And pay more for ’no commercials’ —???

Ooohhhh No-oooo-! Despite my job being a commercial director — I don’t watch broadcast television. It largely sucks.

I could give two shits about their Fall line-up … ‘THE GOOD WIFE’ — zzzzz. ‘NCIS’ - (all 17 of them — zzzzz), etc.

NEWS FLASH CBS ALL-ACCESS … I pick and choose what I want to see. When I want to see.

I do not want my TV shows like say, ‘THE WALKING DEAD,’ to interrupt my communion with the story & characters every 8 bloody minutes to sell me some new fangled women’s hygiene device and/or the drugs d’jour poisoning / addicting us from Big Pharma, etc., etc.

It’s simple — CBS ALL-ACCESS can smell Sonic Klingon Doom Farts in a welded-shut Federation Airlock til the Uranus Cows come home —

— THEY AIN’T GETTING MY MOOLAH until I control the footage on my hard drive with the wi-fi on or off …

My computer. My content choices. Buh-Bye.

In short … SCREW’M
