Still loving it!
Not sure how the "spore drive" Discovery employs fits in with the canon. I don't recall ever hearing about it before. Interesting to see if it can be tied successfully into the Trek verse we know. Perhaps it will be a discarded form of propulsion, too damaging to lifeforms maybe?
Still, Its not hard to imagine a different timeline.

I read where the producers ( after the first episode aired ) felt a need to release a few spoilers. Apparently people are confused while watching the show in an unintended way. Therefore, producers are releasing spoilers explaining what is going to happen in the upcoming episodes. To explain were the show is headed instead of letting the show unfold in the usual timeline. As the episodes air.

That has to be a sign of a well written show.

I haven't seen it I have to admit. I have followed the press on the show since it's inception though. Until I see it, ( a long way off ), my opinion is that the wrong people are behind this latest star trek project.

If you haven't seen it then how can you have a valid opinion?
I consider myself a discerning sci-fi aficionado and my opinion after having watched the show is that its the best sci-fi on TV for a while now.
Its little wonder the good shows get cancelled when people give negative reviews / opinions without even watching it. Does that make sense to you?

No offense, but I like how you sort of validated your opinion by saying in your opinion you're an aficionado. "In my opinion my opinions are really good opinions". Just sounds funny.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And to be fair it was qualified with explaining how much information it was based on. That allows the reader to determine how much weight to give the opinion.
I also haven't watched the show but everything I've read about it makes me think it's garbage. Sure they might be polishing that garbage really well, but if the base is garbage I know that personally I won't like it. I don't care how well the actors portray their characters or how well each episode is formed. If the base plot the story revolves around is, in my opinion, stupid then I'm never going to accept anything else built on top of it.

Go back to my first post where I said nothing about this appeals to me. The casting nor the story line as presented in the trailers. The hype around this has been extensive and everything they presented as teasers or to promote the show turned me off. What is it about that that you don't understand?

I seriously love the show and don't understand all the negative crap i'm reading.
I don't have any issues with continuity or canon and if I find any I can easily overlook and watch it as a stand alone (it is just a TV show..)
The special effects are brilliant. The acting is outstanding with clever intelligent dialogue. This alone makes me worry for its future.. the good shows never really stand a chance.
Overtly portraying Trump voters ( many of which had been blue collar Dems ) Klingons and mocking their political views ... not gonna go over well w/ the gen public.
What's the point of even having a franchise series if things aren't held as canon at all ? Adding to the established story is one thing, but changing it up ,imo, is just ripping off the work of others and using it for your own.
( Peter Jackson with Elves fighting at Helm's Deep , for example )
I've not seen it. I don't Roku and have no interest in signing up and watching another series online, so I doubt I'll ever see it.
Firefly can't get but 1 season and 1 movie, but slap Star Trek or Star Wars on damn near anything, and it's off to production, spare no expense.
