Star Trek Discovery

[Eliot Rosewater]

Loved it, so far.

Like The Orville too

Now to watch the former I guess I have to reenlist CBS all access, which I dont want to do

Was hoping they would sell the episodes on Amazon.

1. Same here.

I don't watch any other CBS shows, so I really don't want to subscribe to CBS All Access.

I guess I could wait until all of the episodes are released and watch them over a month (and then cancel), but that seems odd.

2. Great first two episodes!

You get a free week, so you get ep. 3

Then wait for several episodes and buy a month.

3. I'm confused, does this mean the show will go only to pay access?

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Yes, it has been designed that way from day one.

They teased us with the pilot.

Now I want it.

14. You'd better enjoy it while it lasts, then

This pay-only format will likely kill it, except as a pirated program.

I can't see people opting to pay for a fifth or sixth or seventh streaming service, at least not in numbers sufficient to fund the magnificent Ms. Yeoh's paycheck.

5. I trying to keep an open mind

I haven't picked up all access yet so I haven't seen the next two episodes. I sort of wish they didn't put it in the prime Universe because there are already continuity issues. Yes I am one of those fans. I have watched every episode from all of the series many many times.

I found the pilot slow but I have read that the first three episodes are good in total.

6. I liked the Orville - got bored during Star Trek

You can watch episodes on CBS through the website. I watched Big Brother that way never paid for the all access.

My apologies for like extremely crap tv.

7. I liked the first episode, but it really, really sucks that I pay enought for cable already...

and now CBS wants me to subscribe to yet another service. There's already Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and godknowswhatelse charging, so who needs this crap?

Is this the wave of the future? Throw out a teaser and charge you up the ass if you want to see more?

And I do not want to watch a TV show on my goddam phone. I want to watch it on my 60" TV. I also don't want the wifi hotspots I find clogged with assholes watching TV so I can't check my email.

8. There's another way

If you have access to torrent sites. Kind of risky now so I don't recommend it unless you're already into torrenting.
LMK if you need more info.

9. Liked it a lot as well

It kept aspects of the Trek reboot movies that, while not my favorite, I can live with (visual aesthetics/faster pacing/etc), while fixing some of the more major issues (mainly writing) that I had with those incarnations.

10. I was torn about subscribing to all access, but.......

For $99.99 a year subscription you get ad free viewing of all CBS programming. That $8.33 per month, $1.66 per month saving over the $9.99 per month fee for ad free viewing. If you don't mind ads it's $5.99 per month.

11. I can watch Dark Matter and similar on Netflix until ST: Discovery is accessible.

I'd skip CBS "access" even if it was free.

One of the few things I liked about the reboot Star Trek movies was that Kevin still wasn't wearing any pants.

12. Lovin The Orville so far

especially since Seth MacFarlane is a solid Democrat. He helped finance The Cosmos reboot and as donated a lot money to Democratic candidates.

I have'nt seen STD.

13. I enjoyed the debut a great deal. n/t

[Orrex]

15. Haven't seen Discovery, but...

I've heard good things about it, and even if it only exists to piss off butt-hurt MRAs and Trump's chumps, it's a worthy venture.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. The Orville is slowly growing on me once I viewed it more as a drama with occasional comedy.

Because it was Seth MacFarlane, I was expecting a gag a minute production.

Instead, it's basically a nostalgic tribute to Star Trek (especially TNG) with an occasional one-line comedy bit thrown in every so often.

I was initially rather disappointed but the episodes that followed have improved.
