A lot of hardcore Trek fans may have given up on the show for not being what they envisioned, but Discovery is proving to be the show i always hoped Trek could be!
This preview looks fantastic!

There was a comment I heard on Youtube about Old Trek, The Orville and Disco and I think it pretty much summons it up very well.
The Orville and Old Trek shows a future you want to live in, Disco does the opposite.

To be honest, even though it doesn’t fit in with canon, I am really starting to enjoy Discovery. If I pretend it isn’t a prequel to TOS, it’s good.

Also, not surprised about the importance as this will be the mid-season finale.

I am quite enjoying Discovery even if it is Old Trek jazzed up for simple minded folks, I’m just thinking I hope they don’t loose sight of what made Trek good whilst trying to appeal to so many others in the process! Also asides from Harry Mudd, the event that it’s all supposedly set upon that was mentioned in TOS what exactly is that meant to be???? The Klingon vs federation war is it or something?

Although I liked STD so far, this one was the worst.
A reviewer for this episode best portrayed my feelings:
I don't understand what happened in this episode. It looked like Stargate and I don't get what it was all about. I watched the entire thing and if feels like I've missed crucial scenes. I literally have no idea what the plot was supposed to be about.
Science fiction is based in science, but so far all I've watched is magic, fantasy and aggression in STD, and so my pop science brain can't really join the dots from scene to scene.
I'm starting to truly believe that STD has no science advisers in the writer's room. You can't be a sci-fi show without science. Bottom line is that STD isn't sci-fi, it's fantasy fiction with no grounding in science whatsoever. Nothing. Zero science. Maybe the writers think that Sci-Fi is something completely different? Like, you write and spin a story and then add some science-sounding dialogue to make it sound like it's science for idiots?
Uh? Hello? Anyone there? You realise this is a franchise that kids watched and grew up to launch rockets in to orbit and send robots to Mars, right? Is star trek something completely different to you money grabbing buffoons? Is it just a trademark to be exploited with bombastic action sequences? I can not understand how or why you think this garbage would pass as Star Trek to all but the most uninformed and hapless viewers.
They just make stuff up from one episode to another. There's no episodic payoff, just one long and incredibly boring narrative that drifts from topic to topic and we're all supposed to thank you for the privilege?
It's made for stupid people who think they are watching Star Trek, having only watched the cancelled reboot movies, and are in fact watching Lord Of The Rings. These idiots are apparently that target audience in abundance and really keen to sign up to CBS AA, or so they claim.
Can we please go back to science fiction because I really hate that Trek has turned in to Avatar. It's not what Trek has been about, and no amount of ramming VFX down my cake hole is going to provide what the franchise is actually about.
--How dare you turn an intellectual masterpiece in to a vfx action romp--
Did you really think this is the way to move the franchise forward CBS? Are you out of your vulcan minds?
Perhaps the plan is to completely rewrite Star Trek under the false pretension of "modernizing" it. If that's the case I'd rather stick with 80's and 90's Trek because this is too much a radical departure, and really an insult to the intelligence and suspension of disbelief if STD thinks that this is what Trekkies hoped to watch.
You have to ask yourself why STD announced mid season that there will be a 2nd season in 2019. Isn't that what the PR people do to try and bring more viewers when the viewing figures are flat lining, because it's so good that it's been renewed already so you better hurry up and watch the first season? Come to think of it, there's absolutely nothing on Netflix that has ever, EVER given the green light 6 episodes in to the first season.
Remember the week that Star Trek Beyond opened and Paramount told everyone that the script for the 4th movie was being written. Beyond bombed and cost paramount over $50m in losses. I can see a pattern here.

That review just seems to be a lot of hot air with nothing of substance really. Whoever wrote it offers no examples of things they dislike, they don't even mention a single episode, character or plot element as back up for their opinion. In fact that sort of blurb could easily have been written by someone who had never even seen a single episode of STD.
Trek being and intellectual masterpiece...pft. Do they realise how daft that line sounds. Sure ST has had good episodes that explore humanity and some interesting moral ideas, but i'd hardly call the whole IP a masterpiece. There have been some absolute stinkers in every series, and some films are down right terrible too.
And ST has already and its fair share of mystical magical nonsense and still claimed to be Sc-fi. I mean literally every time they introduced a non-corporeal space being they were verging into fantasy, there's no basis of science going on there.
I feel as if some people are still stuck on the mere fact that STD even exists, and cannot see past their own opinions.

It is not magic behind Discovery getting a 2nd Season Netflix paid a billion to get the rights and with that Season 1 was done.
