Basically, if you live in the U.S. and want to legally watch the show, you have to suck it up and get a CBS All Access subscription. Well, either that, or get a friend to do it and host some viewing parties for new episodes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think, in the US, you can watch the premier on the CBS broadcast network and then after that it's all on the CBS pay service. But yeah, we're all in that situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayiana Sevo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Meh. I'll just wait for it to be on Amazon/Netflix, then binge watch the season. I may have to hide under a rock to avoid spoilers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Trellis Vondaryan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 What will Discovery really be about? Well, two ships, that's for sure. And the first human to attend the Vulcan Science Academy: http://ew.com/tv/2017/06/26/star-trek-discovery-storyline/ This could very well be a new, exciting take on the franchise. What I'd love to see, though, is Trek from a different point of view altogether. Maybe a whole episode/series/season from a Klingon perspective, or Romulan. How awesome would that be, to explore the familiar Federation from an outsider perspective? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Rune Jolara Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 At the very least I must see the premiere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Oswald Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Looks exciting and it's going to be on Netflix (for the whole world except North America), which is even better - for us Non-Americans anyway! They're really not doing themselves any favours by restricting their American audience. Edited July 23, 2017 by Jon Oswald 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Trellis Vondaryan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm oddly more excited about The Orville, Seth Macfarlane's new sci-fi show, than Discovery. The former has more of a Trek feel to me, while the new one feels much like the JJ-verse movies. And my biggest complaint about those was that they felt like action films that happened to be set in space and were coincidentally named Star Trek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Sera zh' Aella Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I quite liked the first JJ-verse film but they were definitely action films and I'm hoping for something with a little more substance for Star Trek Discovery. Shows like the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica and Expanse have shown that you can have smart space shows, that deal with a range of issues and that also exciting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and am hoping that its a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Falcon Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I had REALLY hoped that the Klingons I thought I saw in the earlier photos weren't actually Klingons... The armor is was too... insectoid looking. Not to mention the fact that they have reintroduced the Klingon Forehead Problem after Enterprise season 4 managed to fix it. The trailer does make the show look exciting, I'll give it that. I'm curious how well it does, and I'll watch it when I can. (Part of the American audience, and I have no interest in buying another streaming service for one show.) But I'm kinda with Trellis in that this looks a bit too much like the Abrams-verse movies. I can accept those movies as pretty decent sci-fi action, but this series does not look to be the return to the Prime Universe I was hoping for. All that being said, I'll keep up hopes that the show is, at the very least, entertaining. I can maintain my Trek fix with everything on Netflix.
