I read a lot of complaints about it not being on time, due to football. I don't understand how people can still be so dumb. I add an extra hour of recording time to anything on Sundays on channels that has Sunday afternoon football. Some people just get their knickers in a bunch over nothing.
There were a lot of thing I did not care for in this Star Trek. I watched it without reading up on the background, setting, time frame. It seemed bent on taking huge risks, but at the same time repeating cliche failed strategies from earth's past.
I think I need the spoiler thingy hereSpoiler for Hidden:
I was riveted. I did look forward to some explanations. I really wanted it to end as a hologram examination testing Michael's fitness to be a Starfleet captain.
And won't help CBS in their con game.(https://68.media.tumblr.com/53879bcbf1c30439b4231b212825d882/tumblr_oazbvej5qf1vbe7guo1_400.png)
It won't air again on US Broadcast stations.
Star Trek: Discovery is only on CBS: All Access going forward. Last Sunday was a preview of the series.
The ship doesn't look remotely Klingon, and we've seen Federation ships like this before.Sorry I disagree, the real ship has yet to be shown. However, there are videos on YouTube that shows what the ship will look like.
Frankly, it looks better than most Federation ships... Enterprises included.
According to SyFy's Facebook page, STD (heh) has been pirated "a lot" since going to CBS All Access.
We saw the real ship (the Discovery) on screen Sunday, and before that, we'd seen it in pictures. It's basically just a weird take on the style of the Enterprise.
The Shenzhou looked more like ships like the Reliant.
It's based on a Ralph McQuarrie concept for what was Star Trek Phase II, I believe.

I watched last night's episode. I did not know the Federation had holodeck abilities pre-TOS. I thought that was a TNG innovation. And, to my horror, the Klingons took an Admiral hostage. So much canon out the window.
While I understand we have better tech now then in 1966, its the one reason I really don't want to watch this.It's not just you. There is sooooo much that is wrong with this series. Starting from the very first episode to the last.
So much of it is much more advanced then even TNG or DS9 and they were set 100 years after this show.
Let alone the tech they have that's way better then TOS only 10 years in the future.
So to me it just cant fit into the timeline like it should. And hate they changed the Klingons again just because they could. Makes no sense.

Episode 15 finished, and AV Club hit it right on the nose (https://www.avclub.com/star-trek-discovery-ends-its-first-season-with-a-promi-1822911143). If you're going to write a TV show backwards (you know the conclusion and make everything else fit that), you have a lot more homework to do than if you wrote it sequentially.
There's no conversation about the series on here, so I'll leave it alone. For those who don't like the series and stopped watching, the end of season reveal will just irritate further, and there's plenty of websites to read about it on.
There is not one reason for them to have holodecks in this timeframe.
Enterprise introduced the earlier holodecks. So blame that. Klingons were using the Xyrillian designs on their cruisers in the 22nd century.
I can accept us just not seeing their use for practical reasons -- ships being more utilitarian.
Except for the fact that in "Encounter at Farpoint" it was made clear this was brand new technology.The holodeck was called the recreation room on the NCC 1701. https://youtu.be/9eYZRNRqzjg?t=3m28s (https://youtu.be/9eYZRNRqzjg?t=3m28s) The TNG version may be a 'new' tech, but not a new idea.
Of course the Klingons did get it back in the days of Enterprise.
Now why Starfleet didn't make use of it back then, who knows?
Probably the same geniuses who signed a treaty that every space faring power can use a cloaking device except Starfleet.

As often as the holo-deck suffered a glitch that put the whole ship, or essential crew members, in jeopardy, or the holograms escaped and tried to take over the ship... They tech was obviously flawed and should have been abandoned. It was stupid to keep using it.LOL, quite true!
:D :D :D

But then they might have had to think of actual plots that involved exploring new planets and new civilizations. You know, like it said in the opening every week.Ooooh, that stings! :o
But then people complain about "alien of the week" stories.
And then every other one of those stories is something about Prime Directive this or that. Blech.
Personally, I wanted more Moriarty.
