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?

    There aren't conservatives or liberals any more. Just regressives and authoritarians, or regressive-authoritarians, masquerading as the former two.

    Thanks for that crappy equivocation that tries to take hope away from everyone. Your comment is perhaps accurate regarding the politicos, but for the country as a whole it is ridiculously childish.

      Your comment is perhaps accurate regarding the politicos, but for the country as a whole it is ridiculously childish optimistic.
