I am enjoying it immensely. No complaints whatsoever.

Given the number of times of had to avoid Battlestar Galactica threads because I always binge watched at the end of the series via iTunes, I think 24 hours after being available is fine.

Me too. It's Trek Jim, but not as we know it.

Yep. Call it something else and it's a perfectly good middling TV SF.
Apart from plasticine face, the leads are pretty unlikable or unlikely or un-engaging.

They still seem to be rushing. The plot, dialogue, many faceted backstories... ...and now it looks like audience testing with the hard of thinking focus group in deepest Iowa has led then to introduce a new fresh faced chap hero type to allow identification with. I'm imagining feedback cards with "don't be letting the girls drive the spaceships in these parts, y'hear!" - in crayon with some of the letters backwards.

My bet is that the "fresh faced chap hero" is a Klingon plant.

There is no honour in that!
Today is a good day to {sneak a spy into Star Fleet to expose the secret of the new ship and stack the odds in our favour so that in battle there is no real chance that we will} die!

It is not as if we have not seen Klingons being sneaky in the past, erm, future.

No mention of the classic Trek character thrown in for no apparent reason?
Why not just have a McGuffin from other popular show each week?
Derek "Del Boy" Trotter walks onto the bridge and pilfers a tricorder. Where are they by the way?

How long? Enterprise had ropey first episodes, but Archer was a cracker. As was —I can't remember her name—and the Doctor. In Discovery all are faceless pretty-people with no engaging personalities I can discern.
Looks good though. Not enough for me.

Spock is with Pike and Number 1.

Here's the thing that bugs me about last night's episode — even if Captain Kirk had been double-crossed or sold out by Harcourt Fenton Mudd, he would not have left him behind in the Klingon prison ship. The Federation is at war, but as Bones pointed out in Day of the Dove you don't keep hacking at a man after he's down.
I expect better from the Federation and especially of a Starfleet captain.
I assume we're not supposed to like Lorca. OK, but that's shaky ground because the captain in any of the series has been likable if not downright admirable. I can't help but think that Gene wouldn't be pleased.
