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?

All the "future" series are lame.
They have humans flying spacesuits, really? A Human being in the future is driving a spacesuit?
Why? Or a spaceship? Hell we have self driving CARS...the future doesn't even have that!
Also, whats with sending humans out to look at something outside the ship, did they ever hear of robots?
Honestly, ships fighting each other with humans ABOARD?? are you crazy? Even today we have killer drones.
Give me a break
Lame.
