I finally started Discovery this week and I’m nine episodes into the first season. I’ve got to say, I don’t get what all the hand-wringing is about. Sure, it’s got some tone issues, but show me the Trek other than TOS that wasn’t kind of wonky this early in its run (I’ve seen exactly none of Voyager or Enterprise, so if either of those are spectacular from the jump, I’m not aware). In any event, I am much more interested in continuing to follow this than I was at episode 9 of TNG, which is more than enough for me to continue to give it the benefit of the doubt for now. I’m really looking forward to catching up and seeing Pike’s Enterprise.
