Star Trek: Discovery 2017 Thread

Sweet we getting the show on netflix over here, saves the hassle of looking up streams :rofl:

Only on CBS All Access in the US.

Yeah, consider this DoA on arrival. Really sucks, too.
But then again, maybe it might be a blessing if the show really did suck.

Well… here’s the thing. Season 1 of all ST shows suck. Characters haven’t found their identity yet, writing is weird, episodes leading nowhere, etc. So i kinda expect it to suck for S1…

Yea even TNGs first season was meh at best.

That’s pretty much any sci-fi/fantasy show… You haven’t establish characters, set up the various factions and rules in order to get the audience to buy in.

Most of those shows don’t start getting good until mid-second/third season, when shit gets real.

more or less college papers have always been that way.

Uhura wasn’t a main character on the original show. Spock, Bones and Kirk were the only leads.
It’s like saying Zulu was a main character because he was allowed to dance like a gaylord and swing around a rapier in one episode.

It’s kinda hard to call Uhura a token though, because in that time, there were no tokens to satisfy diversity in tv-shows. On top of that she didn’t have a garbage job, she was equal to the other crew members.

Token black guys are used to satisfy political correctness, while she Zulu and Chekov were used to piss of nationalists/racists and to show sensible persons a future that does not suck.

watched orville…decent show…episode 3 got dark reallll fast.

Anywhere I can watch this live online for free? Or do I have to wait for download?

I just want to know if you are making a joke or have you gone your entire life thinking ‘Sulu’ was ‘Zulu’? :rofl:

The latter, lol.

give it an hour or sumtin and you can google couchtuner…not sure live though.

Ok, sounds good, thanks!

Yeah im in the same boat. Despite people bashing the show its a light-hearted version of Star trek. Its okay.

It’s a sci-fi show on Fox… It will be lucky to see a second season.

Yeah, it has more of a chance than others due to Fox’s obsession with McFarlane, but sci-fi and that network have a tumultuous history at best.

According to the internet the ST nerds are raging about Discovery: “it doesn’t feel like ST”.

I’ll probably watch it tomorrow.

nothing post new movie reboot is star trek enough. watching it now.

So I watched both episodes aaaaaaaaaaaaaand… I liked it. Now, I’m no Star Trek nerd, but I did grow up on the old series. Maybe that’s why I’m not questioning why the degree of the sun is not perpendicular to the inclination of the ship, like some of the more extreme cases I read about online.

Uniforms make no sense. I dunno… they kinda seem to be a followup from Enterprise.
How can Sarek do a 1000 light years away mind meld??? It was clearly explain he left some of his energy within her when she was a kid.
Klingons look different, wtf!!! Yeah… I don’t mind.
The crew is not memorable. No shit retard, they are temporary just like the ship. That alien dude might make a comeback.
The crew makes dumb decisions! Yeah, that’s been a staple of Star Trek since day one.

I really enjoyed it and the rest of the season looks really crazy. Although I’m surprised she’s not the captain… yet. I’m sure that alien guy will come back and she will be under his command or something to shake things up.

They could have made this after Voyager and the Klingons could have been a different race for a total win.

Discovery is not DS9 and I don’t think it will ever reach that level, but for what it is, I’m enjoying it.

i still think the klingons look like a star trek version of some 1920s racist caricature lol.
