Star Trek Discovery (2017)

January 17.

I liked the second Short Trek. But wow, it certainly sets up an interesting future for the USS Discovery.

I am so pissed at Netflix they did not license Short Treks for us international fans. I am missing a bunch of story that seems to link the seasons :-/

Do I need to be a subscriber to view the Short Treks?

Also, who is your favorite character? I think my only favorite “young” character is Tilly.

I got an email from CBS All Access. They’re offering a free month, use the promo code WINTER by 12/26/18.

I’m thinking that sounds like a good idea. I’ll catch up on the Short Treks that are out, and keep going with the Original Series rewatch that we’re doing.

Thanks for the tip!

I watched the Harry Mudd Short Trek tonight. Very nice. They know how to tell a complete story in 16 minutes. I’ll try to watch the other 3 Short Treks tomorrow night, in anticipation of the new season coming on Thursday.

Unfortunately, I think my free month will run out right before the 2nd episode of the season airs next week.

I watched the other three Short Treks tonight. God, these are so good! I wouldn’t mind a season of just Short Treks. Who needs a 44 minute show when they can write these excellent 15 minute stories and make them so good?

Season 2 premieres tomorrow. I’m pretty pumped now after watching all these excellent Short Treks.

I’m considering not watching the new season. I liked the first season plot, but I was not impressed by a lot of the performances. The ship is too blue inside, too.

I would >:(

(They’re not available in the UK)

Merry Christmas, non-American people!

Oh nice, will have to have a look later.

The Short Treks are great, recommended. I liked them more than the season 2 premiere.

Didn’t care for the Tilly one. Felt like a corny TNG story.

Awesome start to the new season. Its been a long time, decades even since ive enjoyed TV like this.

I liked the Short Treks and the first episode is a great start. The new captain brings much needed levity in the tone to discovery and I hope the bridge crew introduction scene means we finally get them a bit more involved. It’s still the Burnham show though. In a time where I am used to binge watching the waiting for a new episode works to get me actually more excited.

and Jet Reno needs to be a permanent fixture as the Discovery engie is constantly spaced out and missing the dynamism and fire of all the good ST engineers.

While I like Stamets they seem to keep the door open to that possibility.

That (and the short treks) were much better than most of last season IMO). The casting for Pike is just right & I’m loving more of the Tilly show.

Anson Mount is a fantastic actor, (see Hell on Wheels) and I am super excited to see him in Season 2.
