I can't be the only Trekkie on here.

Anyone else started watching the new Star Trek series yet?

Watched the first episode earlier today and just about to watch the 2nd one.
I'm intrigued enough to keep going so far.

Enjoyed it, watched both episodes.

Bit odd that it's apparently set 10 years before the original show and yet looks as slick and technogically advanced as the JJ Abrams films, but I can't say I mind.

I'll give it a watch.

Did you see my thread about the Orville?

Have you watched it?

Someone else has asked me the same question today and I haven't yet.

I'm going to have a look at it though.

Litterally finished the first episode minuites ago. I'm going to give it a few more episodes (handy it ends on a cliff hanger).

As a TNG child there's a lot of details that grate a little; it's too dark (literally in luminosity), costumes are wrong, Klingons look weird, tech feels newer but the setting is older. However I think you've got to put that down to moving with the times.

What will keep me coming back is expanding the lore of the races and decent political drama on a galaxy wide level. So fingers crossed...

The original Klingons in TOS looked almost human, I'm thinking it was in the Tribble episode?

TNG was also the first series I really remember getting hooked into.
Voyager is my next favourite.
Currently working my way through Enterprise on Netflix because I've never really bothered with it before and decided recently to try it.

A very good first two episodes. Enjoyed them more than any other first two from t'other series'.

Got to be Tribbles in it or it can't be Star Trek.

Signed up for Netflix but noticed the Star Trek Captains doc was on their and the new for the love of Spock too. So started watching these

Just watched EP 1
Hmm 10 years before Kirk & Spock yet the ship has a Captains ready room, one reason I hate prequels.

Didn't like the mutiny from No 1 especially as they have worked together for so long, but may come clearer in EP2

Saw 2 episodes plus the 'after show'.
I can't tell you anything meaningful about any of the previous series because 'It's not real' but I do enjoy watching them.

This was okay and I look forward to watching some more.

I've just googled what 'TOS' stands for

I'm glad Discovery isn't anything like that was, some episodes made Doctor Who appealing back then.

It's merely Star Trek to us non spotters

Is Jar Jar Binks in this new series then?

EP 2 was much better.

Discovery actually appears next week and Jason Isaacs as Captain Gabriel Lorca

Hang on.....what no Shatner

You're thinking of BSG. Star Trek is the one where Picard got turned into a Cylon.

Ah yeah, with the Egyptians

hate the jj abrams style direction - wonky camera angles and lens glare.

don't like the design. ultra-tech orientated - completely out of sync with the main canon.

but i can see why they've gone that way. it was probably the only way they could get a network interested after the shambles that was 'enterprise'.

the war context is always good for story-lines and the first two eps made a decent prelude.

it has legs but i'd watch it anyway. if i was on mastermind a star trek category would probably be my specialised subject.

Episode 3 was interesting, but has yet again left me with more questions...

I'm going to keep going with this series, I need to know how it's going to end.

Soo... USS Equinox anyone?

New episode out today.

Taken an interesting turn...it's going to keep me interested for a while longer yet.

Looking forward to it

just dloading it now. i must admit it has grown on me.

and bare boobs on star trek? sacrebleu!

Klingon porn

Seen the first four episodes of The Orville, so far. Hilarious send up of Star Trek.
One to watch, for sure.

Seasons finished.

It's a bit of a mixed bag but overall quite watchable. Enjoy the next 8 or 9

I'm liking Orville, much better than I thought it would be.

Just seen today's episode, that took an unexpected turn.

not watched any yet ...but will ...methinks sean dyche models his team on the borg ....united..framework...connected and a strong borg chin!

Wow what an episode, short too at 38 minutes not that you would notice.

Yep. Best episode yet.

Cracking episode really enjoying this series

Very unexpected ending - can usually predict these things! Turned for the better imo.

Enjoyed today's episode.

I'm really intrigued to see where this Star Trek goes with it.

The Klingons have won!

I haven't watched the season finale yet but I'm seeing reports season 2 isn't out until 2020

Better hadn't be sidders!! Been really enjoying it. A few months to a year break I understand but 2 years! Mind you it isn't as bad as Sherlock!!

What a way to end the season!!!

Bastards

Where'd you see that?

Can't be right... surely??!

Kicking around on Twitter, either the cast's personal accounts or the show's official account, can't remember which.

Wowzers! I thought it was going to be something like that or another scenario but won't say anything in case others haven't seen it yet. Brilliant episode and may even watch it again tomorrow ha! Can't leave it hanging like that for 2 years surely ffs!

I'm going to watch it again, just to see if I've missed anything.

Jason Isaacs (Captain Lorca) stated the time scale on his Twitter.

Shooting begins in April
