How are you going to watch Discovery?

With Discovery coming at the end of September we are almost at game time. We've all seen the fan response, good and bad, but I'm curious as to how everyone plans to watch.

I'm personally planning to wait for the DVD/Blu Ray sets, I have no desire to subscribe to CBS All Access to watch.

    Watch the premiere. If I'm hooked crazy-hard I'll subscribe for the season, if not I'll wait for the DVD.

    You left out "download it from one of many places I can get it for free instead of paying/waiting"

    I don't necessarily approve of this sort of action, but it is an option that many will choose to go with I'm sure.

    Possibly he left it out because discussing illegal acts is a violation of the forum rules. Hint hint.

      Netflix. I'm already back on track for my EPIC BINGE of all of Star Trek on it. I started with DS9, went through all of Voyager then back around to Enterprise, now I'm on TOS. I just finished the finely aged cheese that is "The Cage", good times!

      i wish there was a choice if the series can be syndicated that way it can be seen from other stations besides just CBS.

      or if you are in a different part of the world, wait for it on TV whcih usually follows half a year to a year behind the original run in the US.

      one wouldn't need to say they can pirate it when there is an option for "other" as well.

      JJTreck or not, Trek these days definitely has a major identity crisis, and this series being, for all intents and purposes a second or maybe even technically a third reboot has made it a confusing mess beyond recognition and out of hand, at least for me. Star Trek has died for me. Thank goodness Star Wars hasn't "quite" suffered this fate. However, all respect to those that do like it, but I've just been unable to stay on the Trek train as it's been going, but I hope you all like it and some good does come of it for you.

      I'll watch every episode they put on broadcast TV. So I guess it'll be a one and done for me until it comes out on Blu Ray. But I won't bother with the Blu Ray either unless both of these things happen.

      1. The show has a good buzz around it. So far, the only buzz I keep hearing are the flies circling the dung heap and I sadly don't see that changing. I'm hoping it does but I'm not betting any money on it.

      2. The show actually does well enough that they green-light a second season. Just because the people in charge are saying the show is already profitable doesn't mean it'll stay that way if it bombs. I won't invest time or money anymore in dead end projects. I'm tired of getting interested in a show and then having the plug pulled before there can be a proper ending. Also, they'll need to wrap up the story at the end of every season and not end on a cliffhanger. Unfortunately, studios don't seem to want to do this.

      Other than that, I'm not holding much hope for this series. I've wanted Star Trek back on TV for a long time, so when news of this first broke I was extremely happy. But as more information was released I grew less and less enthusiastic. I'll give it a chance to make me a fan, but they've got a huge hill to climb to do that.

      I think Netflix for me in Canada; plus I don't have cable. :'( Not sure if it'll be simul-released or delayed.

      I'm curious, are you even bothering to look for anything positive about the show or are you satisfied with just looking at negativity?

      There is just as many positive reviews and posts out there. You just have to look.

      Quite frankly all of the supposedly positive reviews I've read and watched sounded a little too positive. And most of what of they found positive was exactly what was negative for me.

      What really killed Discovery for me was the Las Vegas panel when they said: give us a chance. Let us be your kids' Star Trek... That was a slap in the face for me. I've watched Star Trek since the last 60's and supported it all my life. JJ Trek was a step in the wrong direction. And so is Discovery.

      Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying 'everyone' thinks it's TRIBBLE. I have seen positive reviews for it, of course. But a lot of what I've seen, I don't like. And I think that like many other folks out there, I tend to pay more attention to certain reviewers who have shown similar thoughts of other projects. Just because a movie is rated really high or low, that doesn't mean that *I* will think the same of the movie. Tastes differ. I mean, ask a group of Trek fans what their favorite Trek movie is and you'll have answers all over the place.

      I'm not making up my mind until I actually see what they give me. And since I'll only have the first episode to go by, I will have to rely on the people I trust in their thoughts of the show after that point. It might start out horrid and end up being the best Trek series ever, or vice versa.

      Hoping for the best, planning for the worst.

      Meh. Unless I start hearing really nice things, I'm probably not going to bother.

      If Discovery is too inconsistent with what 10 years before TOS should be, then I will just throw it into a parallel universe. Another possibility is to treat it as a sequel to Enterprise and not a prequel to TOS where any inconsistencies are due to Enterprise's Temporal Cold War. Enterprise is not a prequel to TOS since prequels explain the backstory behind the various characters or universe in the original show, movie, or novel.
