In truth, I wasn't impressed. It felt... shallow and empty. Whilst I retained a curiosity as to what would happen next, I felt no stake in the outcome beyond that mild curiosity.Even the action scenes felt like they were from another franchise, more like Star Wars or even the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It sounds like you have a very particular idea of what a Trek show is & this one didn’t match your template.
It's a very good 'Space Opera' show with good actors and some good ideas. It could be argued, however that it is a Star Trek show in name only.
It is not a show about exploration and the destiny of humanity amongst the stars, which is what Trek is supposed to be about. It is a poorly-thrown-together low-ideas 'World of Warcraft in Space'. Star One, I don't want to get into an argument with you, nor do I want a long-term feud with a fellow forumite over a TV show of all things. I have no problem with the fact that you like ST-Discovery; please respect the fact that I and others don't like it and don't try to present not liking it as some irrational quirk or moral fault on our part.

If I watch an episode and didn't like it, I'll say so here because it's an ST-D discussion thread. By a curious coincidence, I'll also likely say so here if I liked it.

Please bear with me; 'Hate' is a word that gets thrown around with too much abandon these days. We've lost the true context of the word. Applying hate to something when 'dislike' would be descriptive enough seems a bit hyperbolic to me. The true context of hate is something intense and corrosive, probably even tragic. In my opinion, hate belongs to the context of war, jealousy, violence and bigotry......Having said that; I still ha- er, dislike oysters and slasher/torture films...
