| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

If that is their plan it will fail. I don't want to see it that badly. |

People of Earth cost me $20 just so I could let my daughter finish season 1. They dropped it from the website after she watched episode 6. I had already watched season 1 but I paid anyway. It is a great show so I paid up.

I found "Discovery" to be a bit of a bore. The unnecessary introduction in the desert did nothing to establish the characters' relationships, and even that was wasted when you see what happened to the captain. The whole Klingon thing was a hot mess, and the "if we don't shoot first" thing was a cheap plot point to get some CGI in. It was remarkably politically correct. Asian women, black women, albino Klingons. The only human males of any consequence were those in the court-martial - and they were menacingly back-lit. Very preachy as well. CGI was perhaps *too* CGI-ish. Two stars out of four. Will I watch it? Yeah, only if there's nothing better on, or if I have nothing more important to do (like rearranging my sock drawer). Edit to add: The opening titles are beautiful, and very non Trek-ey. But a full minute and a half of them in a show that is 42 minutes long? C'mon, man. Edited by George K, Sep 25 2017, 04:04 AM.

Where does someone learn to talk like this? That is really sick. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Yeah, the Klingons were the worst ever. We have had a view of them that has held since 1986. Discovery's Klingons were cartoonishly overdone. I'll watch it if it is free. If not it can go. Hated the science |
