...and seems to mimic the style of the JJ Abrams movies, with lens flares and all ...

This is what's bothering the nerds (me included).

Quite an enjoyable pilot! But then again, I'm a Star Trek fan.

badtrip naman kinuha pala nila si sasha from TWD. sobrang tuwa ko nung pinatay na nila 'yung babae eh, tapos maga-appear lang pala dito. sana patayin nila agad sa star trek.

Episode 3 is the real Pilot of the show--taking place 6 months later after the 2-hour prequel, it introduces the USS Discovery and her crew, and the actual premise of the TV series, which is a bit different than all the other Star Trek shows that came before it.

My main problem is the timeline--setting this TV series 10 years before the Original Series can be a bit of a stretch, since the technology seen and used here seems to be way more advanced than Kirk's era. Ah well, still good though.

She's human, after all.

- A female non-captain main protagonist. (still cant connect with the character as of yet though)
- A Captain with a seemingly devious agenda (rest of the crew does not appeal to me so far, although i feel that not all have been revealed)
- An appropriately named ship which seems to hold so much mysteries.
- Klingons that look like the stuff your nightmares are made of.

As a 25 year fan of the series, I'd say that this is exactly what this series needs.
So far, it is BOLDLY GOING WHERE THE SERIES HAS NEVER GONE BEFORE.

The USS Discovery has the shadow of Section 31 all over it.

What's your opinion on the spore travel technology? Did she actually travel to those places or were those just real-time visions of those places?

Too soon to make assumptions, but we can be certain that the plot is baked in for this season at least.

I am witholding my verdict until the series is done.

anybody noticed na ang taas ng contrast ratio ng episodes? to the extent na andaming artifacts sa face ng characters that sometimes it looks pixelated na? or thats how the director wanted us to see it? dolby vision kasi e..

there are times parang VCD quality na sya..

It looks more like film grain, to me. Not unusual with high-contrast scenes, even when shot on digital. I have a weak internet connection pero 90% of the time the stream is in 720p and I can see the grain.

Verbl Kint · « **Reply #43 on:** Oct 13, 2017 at 06:26 AM »

Is anyone watching this on 4K atm? Because I am also seeing artifacts (I am on the regular HD plan) and my internet speed is 100Mbps.

Bakit ba laging nega itong si sasha? Kakabanas na e.

Jun_P · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 21, 2018 at 02:10 PM »

So, is anyone still watching this? New plot twists in Chapter 2..

xgh0st12x · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 21, 2018 at 03:05 PM »

I am. the last episode (Episode 15) was Meh...
Until the literal last minute of the episode.
Which gave me goosebumps all the way to the ending credits.

I thought Season 1 was okay, and I kept watching because the series was something different in a Trek show--Tyler's reveal as Voq was obvious, but Lorca's reveal as a villain and Mirror Georgiou's turn as Captain was something that I didn't expect.

Even the last minute of the season finale was a complete but welcome surprise, all the way to the ending credits

Looking forward to Season 2

I agree. Last 3 episodes to go.

Gusto ko manood nito and the upcoming new series with Picard. Kaya lang medyo overwhelming yung backstory with the original series, TNG and the various spinoffs that I missed.

Will I understand the franchise if I start with Discovery?

Dan · « **Reply #58 on:** Aug 09, 2018 at 08:49 AM »

Filbar's is selling these. There's badges for Command, Ops, Medical, Sciences, Ensign, and Section 31.

I think ok lang naman. I don't consider myself a Trekkie, but I can say that I have appreciated the movies and some shows I've watched. You'll probably just miss some of the easter eggs occasionally thrown in by the shows.
