I meant to post this nearly 2 weeks ago. CBS network is showing Star Trek Discovery each Thursday night at 10 OM Eastern, 9 PM Central. Good idea, since with TV production shut down for so long, a lot of regular TV shows are not ready yet. And it helps to promote Season 3
Already showed the first two episodes.
Here's a synopsis of each.
The Vulcan Hello: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Vulcan_Hello_(episode)
Battle of the Binary Stars: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_at_the_Binary_Stars_(episode)
So, those who didn't see it when it came out 3 years ago, due to not wanting to pay for CBS All Access, now you na see it if you want.
I know it sorta sucks missing the first two, though some creative people might solve that. And the llinks above will at least help.
But the thing is, the first two episodes did NOT involve the starship "Discovery" at all. The third episode, coming up Oct 8th, is where Michael Burnam (female) comes from where she is stuck at the end of episode 2, to become part of the Discovery crew.
Yeah, there's a few things that were unsettling when the show appeared. The show went too far with needlessly reinventing the Klingons. And on Discovery, it felt "this is not the Starfleet I know". But......try it. It gets a whole lot better (at least to me). And things make more sense later.
And without being too spoiler-ish, there are two episodes with Harvey Mudd, the character from the TOS episode "The Troubles with Tribbles" (Uh, corrections. I transposed TOS scoundrels. Cyrano Jones was the character in Tribbles. And Harry Mudd in "Mudd's women" and "I Mudd". I personally never cared much for the storyline in either, but the Mudd character was quite striking). In Discovery, Mudd is played by Rainn Wilson, from "The Office". He knocked it out of the park, and that second appearance was.... quite an entertaining episode.
There were a lot of surprises thru the last part of the season, and a lot of things were "fixed". And I really liked Season two, with Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), who could beat out Kirk and Picard for best ST Captain ever (well written and acted), TALOS-IV, and a younger Spock. We even find out why Spock never mentioned ......(spoiler)...... in TOS or the movies.
So, I post this for those who like ST but never saw Discovery because they refused to pay for it. I"m not posting this to see a bunch of haters who saw it in 2017 ranting against it again. THAT was done in the original thread 3 years ago.
