Well absolutely, look at val's earlier attempt to try and prove me wrong about the reaction to Discovery, by thinking (or pretending to think) that I was only refering to the reaction at the comicon itself, rather than all the reactions across the various platforms... I haven't seen someone clutching at straws so desperately in quite some time, but hey, I got a laugh out of it I think it's case that folks don't want to see it, because that would be against the narrative

I want Discovery to succeed. It has great potential, and if the writers, directors, and producers can be bothered to read some actual science fiction, there is hope they can include some in their TV drama.
I am ambivalent about Star Trek: Discovery. Succeed or fail, I don't care. The show will be shown on a private service that I have no interest in obtaining. Best case scenario is that I will purchase a one month access and binge watch the first season. However, that will be long after CBS decides whether or not to make a second season (though they probably will since Netflix paid for the majority of the first season).
What is strange is the announcement of a new Trek series that sounds like it will be on a more accessible media. I will check it out (if it gets produced) simply because of the fact it is more accessible.
What I find absolutely hilarious about that is the fact that the clusterfrell that was early TNG was 100% Roddenberry trying to produce the series he'd wanted TOS to be, and yet I constantly see people (not necessarily people in this thread, understand) criticizing DSC as "not what Roddenberry intended".
Yep. Funny how history repeats itself.
Dunno, I enjoyed "where no one has gone before", "home soil", "the big good bye", "we'll always have paris", "where silence has lease", "time squared", "contagion", and so on. o.o
A very nice theme, nice mixes of TOS, TMP, KT, and even VGR in there. Despite VGR being mostly 'meh' it's theme was always my favourite. Star Trek needs a nice sweeping orchestral theme and VGR and the KT films did that better than any other parts of the franchise for me but DSC may be up there once I hear the full thing.
Edit: What am I saying!??! KT influences?!!?! DSC IS JJ TREK CONFIRMED!!???! MAIN THEME CONFIRMS!!!one!! LYING CBS!!11!!.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Nice to see they learned a lesson from ENT and went back to classical. That's a really nice theme song.

with every new trailer i fear, this will be like StarGate Universe
And if that turns out to be what happens, it will be a complete tragedy. SGU had such a great premise. It's unfortunate the writing was abysmally way, way, way, way too dark for the IP.
I would love to have seen where they were going with the signal the ancients found in the CMB.
For anyone who hasn't, listen all the way to the end. Remember when someone said the show was, over time, going to start trending toward what we saw in TOS? The musical themes are an intriguing indication...

I don't think SG:U was badly written at all. It was just not written like a Stargate show, and thus often incompatible with the build-in audience, and the title itself excluded a lot of the potential audience.
I watched Stargate, but I was not a big fan, it was light entertainment, SG:U was "heavier" and thus hit me perfectly.
A real shame. The idea sounded so cool. Admittedly, the resolution would probably never be as cool as the idea itself is, but the way to it would probably be.

Heh, the story as presented was never going to be wrapped up. To do so would basically mean they'd solved the greatest mysteries of the universe. Though I was looking forward to what they were gonna do next. the existence of a race that can build solar systems was an intriguing teaser. No it wasn't the blueberry aliens.

The aliens were IMO also pretty well done. They felt a lot more alien then common for Star Trek and Stargate, for example.

Yes, that's what I thought, too.
I kinda think the ending doesn't work so well as a musical ending, but if it's symbolic for the story/thematic ending...
