As a person who never seen Star Trek before, everything felt fresh and new. I didn’t even know Easter eggs were in the first ep.

I thought after watching, this comes across as a great show for someone new to the Star Trek genre.

It feels more movie-like in its shots and production comepared to all other series I watched.

Cliffhanger of EP1 had me like I had to rewatch the final minute a couple times!

Didn't think I would like another pre Kirk series, but this is okay. Plus the serialization aspect is great so you don't have 9 or 10 filler EPs per season. And it's only telling one story. I will stick with it. And for first episodes of a star trek series this was probably the best. Miles better than the next generation first episode. That was a snooze fest

Indeed!

Tried watching it but got really, REALLY bored during the first episode.

This feels like Nolan-ized Star Trek. No thanks.

Nothing about this comment makes sense.

Saying it's Nolan-ized Star Trek implies you've seen the other Star Trek shows but before that you called it boring when the first two eps. contain more action then some seasons of other Star Trek shows.

Also the show has nothing even remotely resembling Nolan's work.

Also. Happen to like Nolan's work. Dark knight was one of the greatest superhero sci if movies ever.
That's like watching gangster film and saying I didn't like it, it was a little too Scorsese.
Man steel >>>> any other super man movie. Reeves was too Adam west campy to me.

I compared it to Nolan in the sense that it's a grounded, less silly, less whimsical approach to the material. It's more cinematic, more visceral, more intense. This is 'gritty' Trek more in the vein of the Abrams movies, not the old shows.

In other words it's more important that these klingons look and sound like an actual alien species as opposed to just a gluing a turtle shell on an actor's forehead and calling it a day. That would be too silly for this.

You sold me, definitely watching it now. Sounds like an improvement. I remember the creator of Star Trek saying studio pressure forced him to have the sillier episodes(the one with the furbie aliens in the original series) they wanted him to be campy like lost in space but his vision was more like what you described.

Hope u enjoy it, different strokes for different folks.

For me personally it just didn’t feel like Star Trek.

You don't know what you are talking about. Kilgons have been speaking in there language.

This is basically a JJ Abrams version of the Star Trek series. Alot of action, dead bodies, and an unrelenting alien foe.

Not many people know the brutality of the Klingon vs. Federation war. I wonder how many seasons they can run with this.
