CBS premiered its new Star Trek series "Discovery" on Sunday. The first episode was made available on OTA (over-the-air) CBS stations — but it and all subsequent episodes are available strictly on CBS's All Access streaming service. Cost is $6/month with ads, $10/month ad-free. (NOTE: The second episode was made available immediately after episode 1 aired. Episodes 3-7 will be released weekly, there will be a break, and then the remaining episodes will again be released weekly early in 2018.)

Ars Technica has a review that mostly praised the new show. (There were at least two technical inaccuracies in the review concerning the first episode.)

For those who may not yet have seen it, I kindly ask folks who comment on this story to make liberal use of the <spoiler>don't show this unless they click here</spoiler> tags.

What did you think? Was it entertaining? Did it hold closely [enough] to existing Star Trek canon? Was any 'ideology' change you saw sufficiently warranted?

    Wow, I almost want to copy this so I can show people and help them understand just how delusional many conservatives are. You live in a bubble apparently, one that is disconnected from the average reality across the US. The historical record is quite clear, and the GOP has demonstrated their priorities for over 40 years! It is too big of an argument, the best I can do hear is point out that you're delusional. As usual there is some bit of truth to the delusion, anecdotes that can make you believe it is true, but when you view the statistics of reality it is just wrong.
