I'll wait for a few more eps to drop and then try that free week of CBS Access to binge.

Good idea. You're not really missing out by waiting.

For anyone who wants to watch some good, fun Trek - check out the 'In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter of Enterprise. Re-watched it yesterday on Prime. Great fun.

The third episode was better than the first two. 

Spoilers of the mild type....

Much darker than anything ever in Star Trek though.  Even more than when Riker and Picard blew up the guy with all the space bugs infesting him.

I didn't really expect to ever see much David Cronenberg style body horror and straight up mass gore and dismemberment in Star Trek.   The episode pretty much slid into a mix of Alien and Event Horizon. 

Nor did I expect to see a grotesque menagerie of nefarious scientific dismemberment on a Starfleet vessel. 

The USS Discovery is kind of a freakshow.  I'm betting it's not a coincidence that it's hull number is NCC-1031

Interesting, but not very Star Trekish.   A lot of cool TOS technological and biological callbacks though.

All good points. I liked Ep3 though I agree it doesn't feel Trek-ish. This would be a fine sci-fi show without the Star Trek moniker. Calling it Trek feels like a limitation rather than a selling point.

Jason Isaacs is a welcome edition. He'll keep the show watchable for me.

I'm enjoying this as well. Nice edge for a ST universe show.
Yeah a bunch of stuff is not canon and the ship design is dumb but I'm at least interested enough to see where they are going.

I get the feeling that you all take the shows too seriously. Just turn off yer brain and enjoy the ride..... the whole purpose of TV.

Hate to say it, but I'm starting to like this show.

Episode 4 was very good and felt a little more Trek like. The pieces are starting to come together.

Plus, I was drinking bourbon in my NCC-1701 glass while I watched. Seemed to help.
