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?

For cultural reasons. They wore clothing like that before there was even Islam. It's adaptation to the elements and not your God. It has nothing to do with it. But this wasn't even that. It was literally being outside, in a desert, with a sandstorm approaching. They didn't go out there to have a good pray to Allah.
When they run around Tatooine in Star Wars they also wear similar outfits, they are not space-muslims in a galaxy far far away.
