61. Yes, star trek discovery.

Mon Jan 8, 2018, 12:49 PM

Jan 2018

I only watched the first episode. I haven't bothered to sign up for CBS all access. They changed the look of the Klingons and it really bugged the hell out of me. The reviews have been mixed. Some say it's great and others say it isn't really very "star trek". I had that feeling about the first two Abrams movies. I liked them but they didn't feel star trek to me. The last one definitely was though in my opinion.

Still I will give discovery a shot. I have been waiting for a new star trek show for years. I just don't have much time with my practice and my daughter.
