Just saw last week's episode. All though it I was left wondering why they set this before TOS. They should have set it after Trek and, so far, there really hasn't been much that couldn't have been easily changed to make it post TNG.
Only complaint is that there are really only four characters they've bothered to give any personality. Most of the crew are set dressing. |

I had a long discussion about this with a friend at work yesterday. I've basically concluded that I'm an addict, Star Trek is my drug, and even though I'm being provided with shitty drugs, I'm still hooked. I should quit watching this canon-****ing mess, but I won't. Instead I'll just continue to bitch about it, which makes me an idiot. |

I'm a long time trek fan, but I just can't get excited about this show. It took me a few years to go back and watch ENT and VOY and it may be the same story with Discovery.
Right now, I'm slowly making my way through the DS9 Relaunch novels. Some of them are pretty decent. |

I'm on vacation in a couple of weeks and I'm debating whether it's worth the time to watch the series while I'm off. What say you - yea or nay?

Trek movies I-VI found some way to explain/kill off the technology advances, didn't they? Project Genesis was basically explained as, "It was a cool idea, but it didn't work and everything went to shit." Transwarp drive on the Excelsior went away because... Paris and Janeway turned into salamanders? I thought there was something explained in Undiscovered Country about why the transwarp drive wasn't possible.
In any case, Discovery has to do something about all the technology that ADVANCES plot. I don't give a shit about the futuristic-looking gizmos and gadgets that are out of place. As far as I'm concerned that's all presentation stuff which is superfluous to better story telling. The REAL problem is this spore shit. It has no place in this timeline. They're going to have to find some way to kill off this technology. I think they will. I HOPE they will. I'm absolutely with Frazod on this. God... this could be so interesting. It's decent, but it could be so much better if it weren't a goddamn prequel. |

One advantage to airing the show on All Access..
We get characters dropping F-bombs like normal people |
