Wash: "Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction."

Zoe: "We live in a spaceship, dear."

Hey, who Fireflied up my Trek thread?

[Nic Robinson]

When do you get it, Joe?

 

[Joe P]

Nic,

I don't have cable TV service -- I use the TV as a DVD/Blu-Ray monitor -- so I've invited myself to someone's house to watch the debut this Sunday night.

In the US, people can watch the new series on CBS All Access, in Canada on Space and Crave TV, and elsewhere on Netflix.

[Yomanze]

Looks more encouraging than "Enterprise".

 

[Joe P]

Yomanze,

I sure hope so, but nothing since the original series has been able to top this.

It's a tough act to follow: "Ohhhhhhh, look at that. You got another jack. How lucky you are. How wonderful for you!"

[Nic Robinson]

The campest words that ever came out of the Shat's mouth.

 

[Nic Robinson]

OK...Turnabout Intruder, Miss Congeniality....but apart from those....

 

[Joe P]

My nerdy 1960s worlds have collided...

Bones popping up is awesome.

Joe

 

[Nic Robinson]

Oh...my...God Bones. Did you see that?

 

[Nic Robinson]

So, the day is here. All our hopes.

 

[Joe P]

Aye, that she is.

It does all seem familiar. Like the TNG hype.

Of course, there is the theory of the mobius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop...

That's enough, Mister Worf.

I thought episode one was very good! The excellent CG and overall high production values reminded me of The Expanse.

 

[david ellwood]

Loving the first scene! And the theme!

 

[Spike]

Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode.

 

[Jonathan Ribee]

I liked the retro bridge noises, including the door swish. And the positive female role models.

Pity about the plot, acting, weird desire to have an emotional character history right at the beginning, uniforms, baroque Klingons, lens flare...

Hopefully they just went a bit mad at the beginning and it will knuckle down into something worth watching. TNG was very ropey at the beginning.

It's still better than Enterprise.

(And they will have to go into the future to have the cross over episode with TOS, and have another wonderful excuse why the Klingons are different)

 

[david ellwood]

The lens flare was a bit much.

When to introduce Spock as Burnham's brother?

 

[vuk]

The lens flare was a bit much.

OK, now i have to watch this.
