I'll watch just because I'm a sci-fi fan but I have to admit that it's still utter garbage. It's a shame because there's a bit of a story in there but my lord the terrible sound effects.
Literally I heard the thunderclap sound from He - Man in there. I was half expecting Battle Cat to come charging onto the screen.
It's absolutely nowhere near the quality of Battlestar Galactica or The Expanse or any other sci-fi series you care to mention. There are too many thoroughly unlikeable characters in the show. They'd need to kill off quite a few more at this rate including the "hero".

Lol at the security officer, I know i'll shoot at it some more, after all it worked for the Klingons, right?...
i can muscle my way past the way the Klingons look, but i must admit the way they speak is starting to grate on the nerves a bit, hopefully some time in the future they'll do a Hunt for Red October mid episode & transition from Klingon to English other wise it's gonna get old real fast!.
Yer it's so unnecessary to keep up speaking other languages, just start off with non English and subs then after a few mins switch to English
The saucer spinning on the ship looked a little strange, the "pinky" monster is some kind of micro organism that somehow grew? I thought i recognised the image of it on the show and sure enough its a real thing.

Looks like the things you get on Channel 4 when they transition to the start of a programme

It's not quite Alien Covenant level of characters doing stupid things at every chance, but .... a lot of characters do very stupid things way too often.
Camera work is still absolutely absurd, I think the random quick cutting and the random angled shots and I think there was a spinning overhead shot on the bridge at one point.... I think it's more unnecessary and worse than an actual Abrams film. Story is dire, dialogue is dire. The chief science guy is retarded "I'm going to leave and take all this tech... built into the ship.... with me", what? It was like a pathetic tantrum from some CW show. I love how they integrated both pieces of technology... which requires you know, knowing how they work and what they do, but they also didn't know what the equipment in the chamber did... but put it in the chamber ready and it obviously doesn't use starfleet tech so they couldn't look in the software to see what it did or anything.
It makes sense if you nab some alien technology using different language and code that you don't know what it does, but taking tech from an identical starfleet ship and having no idea how to make it work makes zero sense. The entire concept of having this amazing tech on a single ship and sending the one amazing ship with this advantage into battle without sharing the data with starfleet so it would all be lost is insanely stupid.
Also the cap keeps banging on about how this isn't a science vessel any more and how he has a lot of leeway with starfleet to get anyone he wants, but he hasn't got a bridge crew who are ready for war?
Then you have tactical officer, every single thing she did was beyond retarded... yet that wasn't the most stupid thing in the show.
The most advanced warship in the known universe, with a damn cloaking device...... just sat ignored for 6 months when both sides knew exactly where it was the entire time... what in the hell. Starfleet left that ship crippled(we actually only saw the bridge get detached, but nothing hit the rest of the ship at all, but lets ignore that) with crew recovered from that battle but Starfleet never thought to go back and steal the cloaking tech or at the very least go back and destroy that ship? They left a ship with a cloaking device sit inside federation space for 6 months even though the enemy getting that tech would make it nearly impossible to fight the war.
Somehow they can scan something on the other side of a system and several systems away, but they couldn't scan that creatures claw from... 2 meters away, in some kind of science lab. Also after pushing some gas that you have absolutely no idea if it would work... immediately open the force field. Genuinely terrible writing in every episode so far.
The alice in wonderland speech was hilariously out of place in the previous episode.

I've also noticed how poor the video quality is. I've got a 4k TV and 4k Netflix but throughout the picture was grainy, possibly one of the worst experiences I've had on Netflix.

I didn't notice any issues on my 65" LG B6 in Dolby Vision.
Maybe it's some issue with Dolby Vision being converted to HDR?

Just a smidge of a Dune vib with that last episode.
That scene in BSG was immense. A jump into a planet's atmosphere done deliberately, waiting to see if your massive capital ship breaks up or hits the ground, having to jump back out because your engines are never going to get you back into space. The STD version is quite feeble by comparison. Jump into a star's vicinity, turn the ship around and drive back out with no problems.
One thing I just remembered which I thought it was a nice touch was when the captain mentioning past greats Elon Musk was among them
that did annoy me.
Then again i think they also mentioned edison, and he was basically just a thieving engineer.
Why did it annoy you may I ask?

Time will tell if Elon Musk goes down as one of the greats
If nothing else his Space X program has made getting satellites in to space much cheaper, and he's given the car industry a kick up the ass to move away from the internal combustion engine.
Thought 4 was a great episode and felt a lot more like an episode of Star Trek.
Like everyone else I really hate the Klingons. both the look and their really poor delivery of the Klingon language. It is really slow and disjointed. Just let them speak English when it is just them in scenes.

I do not look at it like that. He over promises because he is very ambitious. Landing huge rockets is not exactly a easy thing, so what if he is late. Just look at the accomplishment. People bang on about Steve Jobs for example, but I do not consider him nowhere near the level Elon personally.
It is like an average joe saying they will have a fully paid 5 bedroom house by age of 25 but they only manage to get a 3 bedroom house by 30. Would we say this individual is overrated for missing his target? The achievement is still better than what the majority would do.
Agreed.
If he manages to deliver the BFR and to do the things he wants even by 2030 it will be one of the biggest achievements ever in my opinion.
