With two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery in the books, social media was bursting with commentary on the franchise’s newest series’ debut on Sunday night on CBS and CBS All Access.
Well, that’s two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery down and in the books after premiere night on Sunday, September 24th. Our Twitter timeline on @redshirtsdieFS was absolutely bursting forth with commentary on the franchise’s newest entry, before, during and after the episodes.
We put out a call to you, the viewers and readers (and out social media followers) to learn just what you think of the new show, and as expected you came through.
We’ll share many of the responses we got, but we want to know what you think too. Leave your comments below tell us your thoughts, whether they be good or bad.
Here goes:
The hits just don't stop on this show. If these things had happened to 7th season Capt. Picard, I would have been in shambles for weeks.

Fantastic. Great dialogue, high minded/idealistic characters, science, and compelling characters/storytelling. Also, BEAUTIFUL.

Loved the action and special effects. It’s funny how as Trek goes back in time things continue to look more advanced. Yay for Klingons!!

Looks great! But I think the writers took some liberties... and sounds like too much to some I'm seeing in tweet world...

Writing, acting, visuals are great. Klingon makeup has some poor choices. I love the well worn dynamics of the Shenzhou bridge crew.

Definitely actioned packed and full of star trek essence but I want more stories in the future. Worth the sub!
