[AllaN01Bear]

anyone else watching it? that is all.

[Diraven]

1. Season 1 is great

So many plot twists

[Volaris]

16. Yep I liked it.

Season 2 is a lot of nonsense to get you to season 3, which is EXCELLENT.

Best part of 2 is Pike.

[TexasTowelie]

2. Keep going. Season 2 is even stronger and the lead character becomes more likable.

It also reconciles some of the items where the show varied from canon (e.g., why we never heard of the spore drive).

[AllaN01Bear]

3. need to finish season one first . :)

[Bettie]

15. I like that she's not all sunshine and rainbows

she really feels like a person who is what her life experiences made her.

[mcar]

4. Love Discovery

It's a great Trek series.

[Crunchy Frog]

5. I need to check it out.

[Make7]

6. You can get a 30 day free trial for Paramount+ streaming service right now.

Maybe you can squeeze viewing all three seasons in before the free trial is up - then cancel.

[Rosco T.]

7. Season 1, episode 15 and Season 2, episode 1...

Will absolutely blow your mind. And such a lovely setup for "Strange New Worlds" this Fall

[JohnQFunk]

18. Oh hell yeah! "Hit it."

First season was unexpected and very satisfying.
Second season was utterly brilliant - parts of it brought back memories of me at age eight watching the first run of TOS season 3.
Third season? Even better than the first two.
And I cannot wait for STSNW, hopefully this fall. Hit it!!

[Rosco T.]

20. You have to marvel

When an actor can come on for what was really a minor part and STICK THE Landing with it so damn well that not only does he take the part and elevate the chsrscyer honestly to where it should be but at the same time unite 95% of Fandom being the chsrscyer and performance... And then get a freaking show created for them just because he is that damn good.

Hit it! Indeed

[Rosco T.]

21. I can't type

It's 2am tiny phone in the dark.

[MissB]

8. Yup

Absolutely love it

[Rosco T.]

9. One of the best lines that won't make any sense till you get there....

... and then it's perfectly obvious...

"Do not covet thy neighbor's starship, commander. Besides, we've got the new uniforms."

10. Why Star Trek Discovery is Garbage

[Volaris]

[whttevrr]

[BootinUp]

12. Seen it 2 1/2 times, lol.

I really enjoyed season 1 despite the less than stellar reviews.

[Bettie]

13. I have enjoyed all that they have out so far

I know some of the fanboys are very, very angry about some of it, but I liked it.

Solid storytelling with strong female characters.

[Rosco T.]

23. And a Queen!

She's a Queen I tell you!

I have a t-shirt of Book carrying her with the "holding a Grudge" tag line

[Bettie]

26. I also enjoy seeing character development

watching as each character changes and grows over time.

And yes, she is a Queen.

[JCMach1]

19. It's really good... Haters can pound sand

[FreepFryer]

22. Religious life long Trek fan, I've seen every series, episode and film...

...and I found Discovery to have a few good moments - but far fewer good moments per screen minute (and per production dollar) than any other series with one recent exception. Discovery’s writing is inconsistent and the quality is scattershot, the firings in the writing room resulting in some real plot problems.

But even still, I’d much rather watch Discovery than Picard. That series is the real disappointment, imho.

[Earth-shine]

24. Been a Star Trek fan all my life.

Kirk and Spock are my boyhood heroes.

Picard is my young adult hero -- a roll model for any man.

My four-foot-long blueprints of the Enterprise proudly hang on my wall.

I say, "Star Treks Picard and Discovery are fabulous. Outstanding! At times rivoting. Always detailed and interesting."

Just so you think I'm not a blinded, total-Trekkie fan boy, I thought DS9 started out good and then devolved into an atrocious, unwatchable soap opera. At times, painfully bad.

I thought Enterprise started out weak and then in 3rd and 4th seasons, became the best Trek ever.

[Rosco T.]

28. It appears Archer is going to make a return

Probably in Strange New Worlds. Then a full spinoff after that is being considered

[AllaN01Bear]

29. janeway too also in a animated feature.

[uponit7771]

25. K&R, discovery is the best of the series and the writing GETS BETTER in season 3

[Tarc]

27. Sorry, but season 1 is god-awful slop

Phlegm-slurping Klingons who look nothing like those we've ever seen before, the spy/mole story that was telegraphed from a mile away, etc...

The good news is that it gets quite a bit better in 2 and 3, except when they dip back into Mirror Universe shenanigans. But that was a rough start.
