Idgaf what the producers say, the Klingons look more like Into Darkness Klingons, so this shit is Kelvin.
I haven't watched this yet. Are you fucking for real? They put an android in Starfleet that predates Data? How does that make any fucking sense? One of my favorite TNG episodes is Measure of A Man. How the fuck does that episode happen in a universe that already had an android officer? God damn, I am already salty and I haven't even downloaded this yet.
He looks android'ish, but no one ever spoke to or about him and so we know nothing about him. So it's possible he's just some weird alien. Reminded me of a Breen slightly.

Second ep was p trash. I'll give it one more.
Practically a tradition that season one of a Star Trek show has to be near-unwatchable.
I personally like the direction so far. Burnham's story arc is going to be the exact opposite of Riker's and Paris's redemption. Fraught with fates much worse than those two suffered. It's got a sorta BSG feel to it, and of course, its the first two episodes of a new star trek series. It'll be stiff and a bit off. It was at least as good as Encounter at Far Point, better than "The Cage" or "The Menagerie (AKA the TOS pilot remake)" Definitely around the same stiffness of the DS9 and VOY openers.
not being able to either stream it on one of the reasonable platforms (Netflix/Hulu/Amazon) or catch it on broadcast tv... I'll probably just wait a year or so and hope it hits netflix. If not it's pirate time. I'd love to have a new trek show to watch, but I'd rather do another full watch-thru of DS9 or TNG than pay cbs a subscription fee for ONE SHOW. I already do that with HBO for GOT... at least HBO has other quality content that I should be watching even if im not.
Don't remember the code syntax but RLM have weighed in. Not going to watch myself since I've yet to find time to catch these episodes yet but here yah go.
Someone can fix the link till I get hime if they want

Totally forgot to mention that aswell. Rarely have I seen something that felt this forced.
Yeah I'm done with this.
Star Trek isn't about war. There's plenty of shows out there for it. There's no adventure or whimsy. It's just hard scifi. Really shitty hard scifi.
Ignoring the bad acting, or all the glaring continuity errors, I think just the dark depressing nature of everything so far is the worst part.
Even the gloomier episodes of DS9 (which is mostly the darkest Star Trek up to now) still maintained a sense of humor or lighter side stories. So heavily putting the focus on one single character and all her mopey bullshit is just... bleh
In previous shows characters had some character trait that made them stand out, for some it was only accent, for others it was constant grumpiness like doctor McCoy. It made hem charming. In this show it feels like all the characters have their unique way to annoy you instead.
