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).

Well I certainly watched it on Netflix on Monday.

It was ok, special effects were quite good on the whole I enjoyed it, but felt uneasy over the conflict between the captain and first officer

I enjoyed it thoroughly. I have zero interest is streaming it or subscribing to some service to watch it. So, I will do without.

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.

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.

How they reconcile it is easy, the research will fail. Just like the transwarp drive tested in Star Trek III.

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.

2 things....

A line I never expected on any trek...

And a new classification of captain..... (kirk = adventurer, Picard = diplomat, Sisko = solider, Jane way = lost...... This new one? #%&*$#.))


I'm liking this show a lot....

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?
