The credits, I forgot to mention, I was totally underwhelmed by both the tune and the graphics, entirely forgettable. At least it’s not a stupid pop song like “Enterprise” had (instead of the lovely instrumental theme they instead used on the closing credits)

I’ve watched ep 2 now. *SPOILER ALERT* there were some lens flares.

After watching the 2nd ep, the Klingons are just wrong, not just the cult members but all of them. They don’t act like the Klingons of every other incarnation, they are missing personality, swagger, there are all just dour stuck up weirdly dressed ugly depressive whiners.

As to your complaint about the lack of a cameo from a past actor, I hear you but who could they have gotten? Scott Bakula made up like an ancient old man? T’pol? Who would care about that? They ain’t Nimoy or Kelley. They did have a cameo by an established character (though not actor) in Sarek, and while I like the actor they got, it just feels unnecessary, Humans raised by aliens and aliens raised by humans (Worf) has been done.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

Not sure why Brown sugar (I can’t get over her name, I don’t like her last name either, she sounds like she should be a baseball pitcher with a handlebar mustache) would confess to mutiny, where is the “logic” in that? With Yeoh dead, there was no evidence save hearsay (unless they security cameras or something). And I’m shocked they would give her LIFE. In later set Star Trek works the Federation prisons look like country clubs, they are all about rehabilitation in lib land.

This looks like it will be entirely about war with the Klingons. Star Trek was never about war. I was skeptical at first but I really liked the DS9 Dominion war act. But that was already established characters being thrust into a war. This starts with a war and looks very very dark, I’m not sure there will be any “discovering” or Trek humor which is a vital element.

If they are doing war I wish it would have been the Earth-Romulan War and then the founding of the Federation, which Enterprise was gonna tackle if hadn’t been cancelled cause they waited till season 4 before getting good (seasons 1 and 2 were lousy) TNG survived a crap first season and Voyager survived despite never being near as good as it could have been. If Enterprise had started out doing the interesting stuff instead of just meandering in space, they would have lasted.

Issacs looks like he might interesting, when they finally get around to him.

CBS A-A sucks btw, I signed up for a free trial and never cancelled it cause I’m an idiot, despite paying there are still commercials (you have to pay extra for no ads).
and I went there to catch up on “Big Bang Theory” eps from last season that I missed, and they aren’t available, only the season 11 premiere, if I’m paying they should have every damn episode on there.

I say if you want you want to see it, pirate it.
