[Poll] Star Trek fans, are you going to subscribe to CBS All-Access?

Yes, I am.

The last time I saw the Enterprise episode, and its been a little while, I felt that there was still more to be reveled on that particular storyline via Disco.

Enterprise botched that storyline. So if there is any hope of salvaging it, I'm all for it. Maybe they can have a young Kor featured in it some how. He was in TOS and had no cranial ridges.

100 years or so later, on DS9, he grew them back.

Hehe, to be honest I’d have been fine with them not attempting to explain the makeup differences in-universe. The one line dismissal in DS9 was sufficent for me. I thought the Enterprise explanation to be “meh” and seemingly incomplete.

Yes, please don't mess with canon. Please. Pretty please. Especially not ST canon.

Discovery is a very good series so far and I thoroughly enjoyed the first season and eagerly await the second season.

I was skeptical of it at first and through probably half of the season until it was revealed what really is happening and then I understood. At that point I really fell in love with it.

It's probably one of my biggest TV surprises. I started watching after reading a decent number of reviews from my standard sources (and the first 9 EPs had aired in 2017), so I had some pre-existing notions going in, but after their universe got established, other plot elements were revealed, the actors got settled into their roles, yeah, I like it!

I apologize if I’ve asked this before.
I noticed several rates for CBS All Access. I’m wondering if you go with the cheaper rate, are you able view Season 1 of Star Trek Discovery? I presume Season 1 is complete.

Oh, is this show worth paying for?

I'm a big Sci-fi fan, I'll watch almost anything. But I found Discovery hard to like.

It has its upsides - some spectacular visuals (especially if watching in Dolby Vision); and I love how they've gone with a very different, diverse Klingon race and culture.

But I think the storyline for me just stomps over the Star Trek work/lore too much. The technology is just too powerful and the event that unfold too drastic. It seems everyone wants to do the 'alternate timeline, so we can change everything' path. I think there's always a problem too with sci-fi prequels - a more 'advanced' audience has more advanced expectations of future technology, but prequels demand less advanced technology.

Other than the main character (and/or actor Sonequa Martin Green) who I like, none of the other characters seemed strong enough for me. I love Michelle Yeoh as an actor, but for me she can't carry the role of a villain. Mary Wiseman's Sylvia Tilly character 'grounds' things for me (which I like) though her character does seem a bit out of place. Jason Isaacs has his moments..

It just doesn't do it for me at all. Plus, 95% of the entire show seems to be [something dramatic happens: cue shots of the bridge crew turning around looking surprised]

Thank you! Honestly most shows that I watch theses days, a small % impress me.

I just got used STOS on Blu-Ray (all the individual seasons) for $33 used.

Used or even new ST on disc is getting harder and harder to find. Decided to just buy it now even though I'm not crazy about every single show (I did grow up with it).

It is kinda cool as you can switch between the original broadcast and the updated versions on the fly...

Same with Stargate discs - they're not printing anymore as they want you to view it streaming online (I already have those BR's).

With that said, I'd be surprised if STISCO shows up anywhere else or on downloads/disc.

With Anson Mount cast as Captain Pike for season 2, I will definitely come back with some hope.

Though to be fair my hope is that Discovery crashes while saving Enterprise, taking all the crew with it. Then we could follow Enterprise on an actual journey of discovery.

Wasn't sure if this post should go here or another.... Is there another Star Trek Discovery thread? (Some folks who don't like the show or don't like having to pay for CBS All-Access call it STD instead of ST: D)

'Star Trek: Discovery' replaces its showrunners (again)

Berg and Harberts were regularly on After Trek and it was interesting to have their insight.

Berg and Harberts are out following claims of abuse and overspending, said THR.
...
CBS just replaced Fuller's replacements, Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. Executive producer and co-creator Alex Kurtzman, a Star Trek veteran of both films and TV shows, will take over the role.

There is this thread and there is a general Star Trek discussion thread:
