I have seen the first episode. Parts are a bit clunky and parts are good. Star Trek shows have a long history of having shaky pilots so I am going give this show some rope.
The music is not so good and I am not what to make of the ship, also the uniforms kind of suck.
I haven’t watched any Star Trek shows in is entirety since STNG, so I have no idea what “The Burn” is, I suspect that will either not matter or will get explained later.
So far the character set ups have been good. There is some good seeds planted there.
I do have to tip my Holly Hunter. She looks great.
The burn: At some point all the refined dilithium in the galaxy was ignited at once, so all the warp capable ships were destroyed. No one could travel between worlds for a good stretch.
Or that’s how I remember it, good enough for you to have some background :)
Yet somehow everyone still got everywhere needed for the plot. And I don’t mean the mushroom-drive from Discovery, I mean the couriers or Orion pirates.
Plot drives!
All the dilithium exploded because a guy got sad.
The crew made up for it by having group hug time at the end of each episode
I prefer this recap to what I remember from disco. I’m going to start remembering it like this now too.
Thank you.
