If it does well enough for the season, maybe they'll put it on the air for season 2 and stream it for those that have the service. I think CBS has a long term plan to use it as a draw. They must know that putting it on stream only won't give them instantly millions of new subscribers so it must be a calculated risk. As such it can operate at a loss in the US while getting revenue from international sales (ie Netflix).

Agreed Panzer, good post. Probably also why there haven't been a whole lot of Clarke stories made into movies/TV shows. Philip K. Dick stories are usually more about the human condition, which is probably why a good number of his stories have been successfully adapted. There's a reason why only Starship Troopers, of all the Heinlein novels, has been made into films.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

I've personally never given a #%&*$# what actors do on their own time. I watch their movies/TV shows. If you get upset about their private agendas and doings you assign them an importance they do not have and it's something I frankly never understand why people get so upset over. In a sense, I do not either. As long as they are purely private about it, I could care less. But when they post stuff like that in public, they (the actors of STD, in this case) are attempting to leverage your interest in their show into de facto support for their cause de jour. They (the actors) make it very hard to separate their political beliefs from their show.

Watched the first two episodes on Netflix and am quite pleased. Will for sure watch the other episodes too.

So far so good! Definitely a different tone to the show, but I like it. I wish they would drop the whole season like Netflix, but no one else does either, so it's hard to complain much. With just 8 episodes this season, I hope they don't have a Walking Dead snails pace to it. I didn't care for the captain's stand up desk, seemed out of place, but maybe it lowers and magic's in a chair later on.

I wouldn't normally watch ST,especially a series but I'm staying with my bro and he put both episodes on last night.
It was ok but I found the Klingon scenes a little tiresome. But bonus points... NO Simon Pegg!!!

I find Klingons tiresome in general after TNG and DS9. The third episode is all Star Fleet perspective. I like the captain so far. More militant and aloof than the usual. Its a science ship being used for war and he's got to keep his crew on the new task. Their secret project is odd, I wonder how they will reconcile that with the usual timeline or if they're taking some liberty. Not as much as the JJ movies of course.

It already works, on a small scale, but yeah, there's got to be some kind of development issue later. They already lost he one ship. Also like when Riker's old ship had the cloak and could phase through solid objects. Maybe it wins the war somehow by being misused and at some huge cost.

The bit where the captain put the engineer guy in his place was pretty good. The engineer doesn't want Michael included in the away team so the captain asks the first officer that knows her his opinion of her. What's your opinion of her? She's the smartest officer I know. (to the engineer) See? And he knows YOU.
LOL

Liking the show more and more. The klingons are becoming more interesting as well. I espesially liked how they deal with their enemies - like eating the corpse of Captain Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh)

The show continues to deliver. It was odd having a couple of f-bombs, gotta say.

Although I liked the first episodes the last I do not. - Way to easy to escape from a Klingon ship, not!? - a crew member as a "navigator" for the spore drive was so foreseeable - when they send this spore creature to space through the lift, how they actually could see what happend to it outside of the ship? There where no windows or something else? Did I miss it?
