I have just watched episodes 1, 2 & 3.. Don't mind it at all.

I see on the Wiki currently only 9 episodes. Is it still going or has it been canned?

Hey, you know what, I've seen episode 6 where
[spoiler]Burnham is going to save Sarek[/spoiler]
and episode 7 with
[spoiler]Mudd putting the Discovery in a timeloop[/spoiler]
and those episodes felt much more StarTrek-ey to me than any previous episode. There was a much bigger sense of various people cooperating against a common threat. There was actual problem solving. I liked these episodes much more than the others.

As for the swearing... I'm not noticing it... at all I mean. Have I been so desensitized to such thing that it's really no big deal anymore?

I think your 2nd spoiler was my favourite ep. I also like ones revolving around Lorca, the last ep was boss.

Finished 7, 8 & 9 and I like you enjoyed those episodes. I am looking forward to the next installment. I an giving top marks to the Discovery team.

The finale was interesting and I wonder where or perhaps when they traveled to...

:eek: Well I didn't know... A big thanks losCHUNK for the heads up.
I watched the first 9 episodes and thought that was that for season 1 so it is a nice surprise to find more..

Here's the Wiki link and I note the episode list... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Discovery

Was jus ep 10, was one of the best of the season :up:

RLM said it quite well where basically Orville has taken the Trek space, DSC has shifted towards the Star Wars 'space opera' and Star Wars have run off a cliff with a bag of money.

All 1st seasons are pretty dire for ST tho, this is possibly one of the best 1st seasons of any Trek.

DS9 is a tricky one, that's the point where ST realised they needed to do something different but didn't know what. It was good when it got into its stride but there was a lot I hated about it, mainly Jake and anything to do with the prophets. I actually think ENT was the better series now :ninja:

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want Trek to go back to its roots but the question is, did Star Trek need to change direction ?. After Voyager it did get burned out but today ?, I really dunno based on the success of Orville, but then everything in Orville is rehashed from Trek, which leads us back around to burn out, so I really dunno :cry:

You watch it all, with the dominion war ?. I'm guessing you liked the rest of them ?, If so you're one of those purest of pure trekkies :)
