More star trek than the music for enterprise!

Was not a fan of that either.

Watched ep.6 last night.

Jury still out on this. Just feels like the show is missing something or hasn't really got going yet.

Perhaps it'll all be fine once Saru grows a beard!

I didn't like the Episode either. I thought it was very strange that a person(Burnham) so good at Vulcan martial arts would suddenly become so useless at fighting. I could possibly believe that Saru is much stronger than he appears, but, if that's the case, why did it take 3 or 4 blows to break the connection to the transmitter? It has lots of little things like this that break the whole show for me. For example, Saru's ability to sense death and danger, yet died 50+ times in the previous episode and didn't feel anything, he even recommended bringing that space whale onboard.

Sensing death is a stupid thing - the guy who came up with that idea should be shot. It adds nothing to the show and it's impossible to utilize because then you'll never get any shock reveals ever again, he'd always see danger coming.

The theme tune is completely fine. The hate makes no sense to me.

Sari will be killed off or something to make way for Michael to be 1st officer in future episodes.

I'd desperately want to see episodes follow other bridge officer. It might make me care a little bit more.

I think it's a pair he needs to grow.

If people want to attack a theme tune - Enterprise "it's been a long time......". God awful.

I remember sitting there slack jawed when I first heard that, it did set the tone for the whole series though.

Enterprise theme tune was good imo

doodah · 9 Nov 2017 at 14:02

You know where the door is!

Any one remember the evil version

?

That was good and the episodes were not too shabby either.

Yeah that 2 or 3 parter (as with a lot of TV shows) was a decent watch. Hoshi - the little rascal!

This!

Look at TNG - how much storyline there was - Picard, Riker, Worf, Data, Troi, La Forge, Beverley Crusher, Tasha, Wesley Crusher and other minors like O'Brien and Guinan - anyone who has watched the show will know some backstory or at least storylines/events that happened and would be a big deal if one of them died. SHUT UP WESLEY

Still early doors but no affinity with Discovery characters yet & I find Michael an uninteresting main character.

Time will tell, although they seem to be milking the darkness of some characters so it could really go either way and be something totally different to the previous offerings or just a cringe-fest.

So far the Captain is the most interesting, perhaps the focus will shift to him next series.

TallPaul1878 · 9 Nov 2017 at 16:59

I'm pretty much done with the show. In fact I've been so disappointed with the garbage that is being churned out on Netflix that I have considered cancelling my subscription.

Right now the only reason to keep it is that the kids like watching some shows on it and I've gotten into Mind Hunters

Trig · 9 Nov 2017 at 18:53

I'm 5/6 episodes into Mind Hunters, that's getting more of my attention than STD or Orville tbh..

JediFragger · 10 Nov 2017 at 00:36

I'm gonna dump this too, not worth spending the time watching imo when I could be watching something much better.

Efour · 10 Nov 2017 at 06:14

Haha well I can afford to watch something for 45 mins a week so I won't stop watching, besides if you don't watch you can't bitch about it.

The thing that blows my mind is the praise that some people post "how good it is" it actually seems like fake Facebook accounts.
It isn't good. It isn't bad. It's incredibly average but I'm sure it will grow. 1st series has a lot of character building to do. Hopefully that will start properly soon too

MooMoo444 · 10 Nov 2017 at 10:26

Yeah it's not fantastic, but it's something to watch. Keeps me more interested than walking dead did.
