Iain Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's pretty good for a start. Would have liked to have been able to see the Children of Mars prequel short though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 How come Data ages if he's an android? That’s not Data, though, it’s a figment of Picard’s imagination!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thought that was alright. Most of the stuff I’d seen on social media was very negative about it so It was a pleasant surprise in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I enjoyed it. The marketing team fucked up though. The final scene with the pan out of the Romulan Reclamation Centre being a Borg Cube would have been a wow ending but it was shown in the trailers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Loved it! I'm quite glad it's not available to binge watch aswell for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Liked it, but not really sure where it's gonna go or what the purpose of it will be tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Really enjoyed that. The opening shot of the Enterprise D was just lovely. I don't get the Discovery hate, I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It exceeded expectations - fantastic! Remember, Star Trek has a history of shows with dreadful pilots, slow starts and then gets better. The exception is Voyager, which was shite from the first minute to the last. Here we have a genuinely engaging pilot. Questions have been asked and I am looking forward to following this. Genuinely considering watching again before Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkneil Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I really enjoyed it, a fine selection of links back to TNG and a couple of interesting plot lines to explore with the origin of Dash and her sister, Picard's departure from Star Fleet and a potential jump back to the original antagonists taking that role on again with the Romulans. They've also made a great choice in picking up on the "The Measure of a Man" episode of TNG with Bruce Maddox being mentioned. I saw that a number of reviews have highlighted that those who are unfamiliar with TNG or the films involving that cast will not catch the nods back to that show and may not have been drawn into this show as others, like me, who are big fans. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I've not managed to find the Children of Mars short that covers the attack, hoping that it appears somewhere to watch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first series of shorts are on the Discovery page under "Trailers and more". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't reveal much more than what you already got in the first episode. The main focus is on high school bullying! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thought it was very good. A few of the complaints on Social media were just either completely wrong or "look at me" stuff or people who wanted to hate it/didn't like Discovery (which I quite enjoyed, especially Season 2 with Captain Pike). Like "Picard is too old" - for what? Or "It's in the Kelvin Timeline" - it's not, it cleverly continues from those films while still being 'Prime' Or "It's too left-wing with the refugee stuff" - as if Star Trek hasn't always been lefty and preachy and all the rest. Liked the way Picard was old (out of breath going up the stairs) but still had that heart of his, liked Daj (and was genuinely a bit shocked about her fate, but I didn't care much for the relevation that came later which seemed a bit of a cop out), liked the Romulan folk at the farm, liked the Easter Eggs in the vault at Starfleet, liked how the bit at the end left so many questions... in fact the only downsides were the lack of a memorable theme at the start (I quite like the Discovery one) and the aforementioned bit with Daj's sister 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I thought it was okay but need another couple of episodes before I decide on it. I think the final scene really saved what was an very average episode for me. I personally give it a 7/10. Absolutely loved Discovery fwiw. I did very much like No. 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Decent episode today. Plot is getting interesting. (Big reveal as well.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
