    Shouldn't have too much sci-fi TV competition, as 'The Orville' has gotten some pretty terrible reviews so far.

    That's, how weird it may sound, pretty good news for "Star Trek: Discovery" then:-). The new Fox Series was basically bullying "Star Trek" in their promo-campaign. Quite sad....

    Well, the theme music is even a blatant copy of past Star Trek themes @Creasy47 :

    Been avoiding spoilers and any further information on Discovery for the last several weeks, I am just going to watch it when it airs and hopefully it will surprise me.

    Here's a nice movie about the work that "Star Trek: Discovery" composer Jeff Russo ("Fargo") did. You see him conducting the main title theme of "Discovery" as well :-):



    It starts with a few cues of Alexander Courage's theme, but then....then you hear something more new, fresh and Original that will be only heard for "Star Trek: Discovery". And? I. Love. It!

    Also, a new videoclip (now clips are being released instead of trailers), showing the arrival of the USS Shenzhou:

    “I don’t mean to sound irreverent when I say I don’t care about the die-hard Trek fans. I only ‘don’t care’ about them in the sense that I know they’re all going to watch anyway. I look forward to having the fun of them being outraged, so they can sit up all night and talk about it with each other.”

    The column also added the following, but without any attribution: “Isaacs, 54, said the new show will throw away the legacy of William Shatner and Patrick Stewart.”

    Not sure how I missed this, well I have been won over (sarcasm)

    Me too ;-). Sometimes you have to slam all these radical Trekkies very hard in their faces. Like this quote, which makes sense:
    “some fans are so passionate about it that they become fearful of change.”

    Good article by the way....

    Heard something today which has made me think Discovery maybe not what it seems in a good way
    Mirror Universe
    not sure how true this is I am theorising this could have a impact on the show as a whole.

    The first spoiler-free reviews are in from the red carpet premiere of "Star Trek: Discovery". The reviews are based on the first two episodes/parts of the series, "The Vulcan Hello" and "Battle At The Binary Stars":

    Positive reviews that's good, one thing I am looking forward to is watching Discovery in 4K.

    I just can't WAIT @Fire_and_Ice_Returns . I'm not sure what to do:

    A) Collect the first 8 episodes of "Discovery" until mid November, and then organize a binge watch event with my best friends?, or
    B) Watch the first two pilot episodes upcoming Monday

    I am not sure how the episodes are being aired on UK Netflix, I heard several months ago we may get half a season initially which happens with some select shows on Netflix. If it's good I'll probably binge watch all the available episodes

    You first get to see the first two episodes this Monday.....and then all following 7 Mondays the remainder of season 1.1 (first 8 episodes) until the first week of November :-).

    Really in the UK? I guess it will be like watching the previous shows think a episode over for a week, in 2017 it's easy to get used to having a full series drop at once

    Edited: Just checked Netflix first episode is aired 25th September

    Enjoy the two pilot episodes tonight buddy ;-)! Hope you like it. I'm going to wait until all first 8 episodes of season 1.1 are available, then binge watching like hell. Episode 1 is 60 mins, episode 2 55 mins. So that's a whole movie you're going to watch :-P

    I just finished watching episode 1 and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately since I don't have CBS All access that's all I'll be able to see until the DVD set comes out. It's a real shame too. CBS should have used All Access to let people see the series a week early then let people who don't pay for streaming services to see it later.

    Pain In The Ass. I had to navigate from CBS regular to CBS Access to watch this and if I could go back in time I'd tell myself to just watch Omega Glory on Blu Ray & wait for Discovery on the same format. 'All Access' is STUPID access. Cancelling now.

    I loved it! It really looks amazing considering it's CBS. The All Access thing sucks though. I really don't want this becoming normal. But the first 2 episodes were really something I want to keep watching so we'll see. I hope no matter how it does in the ratings, the show continues to produce quality episodes and continues strong

    This is the future of TV. Like newspapers with paywalls.

    You'd think CBS would avoid that since we evolve past the use of money in the Star Trek universe. ;)

    As much as I'd like to keep watching Discovery, I'm happy I have The Orville to fall back on. It's episodes are getting better each week. Their morality play episode was really well done and really reminded me of TNG. :-bd
