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.

    It’s garbage. Star Trek: 90210, highschool, melodramatic trash. They continue their streak of refusing to write any actual science fiction in their science fiction shows, spending the entire time on character drama and scene after scene of intense emotional exposition making the pacing an absolute drain. Half the tech looks like it’s from Star wars FFS.

      Yeah now that I have seen E2 your assessment is spot on. I told myself to give this thing some rope, but I am done with it.

      My problem is that I think I am a Star Trek fan, and since I haven’t really loved anything Trek for 30 years ,First Contact , i need to give it up.
