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?

Yes, youtube has a whopping shit-ton of content. Unfortunately it's almost all boring as shit. Unless I need to know how to change the coils on a 2001 Toyota Echo, I'm not going to watch a video on how to do it. Mostly, I just watch a funny cat video once in a while and use it as "hey, I haven't heard <song> in a long time. *click click click*".
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
