Whoa! This new #StarTrekDiscovery TV show is rather un-Star-Trek-like. I dare say it's a wee bit #StarWars. It also seems to veer away from established uniforms & aliens. I'll reserve judgement, but there's no way it could possibly be as bad as #JJAbrams's interpretation.

@Carrie Yes, the desert scene definitely did it for me because I don't remember a desert scene in #StarTrek that 1.) wasn't filmed in a studio, or 2.) didn't have #Starfleet uniforms. It's a departure, for sure. It also seems darker.
A male or female captain doesn't bother me, it's their character & the acting that's more important. I'm hoping the series is successful, but I don't know how I'll watch it on the other side of the world #Taiwan isn't exactly big on #StarWars, let alone Star Trek.
@SlowRain The trend for television in general lately seems to be darker and "grittier" shows, sometimes to their detriment, I think. And slick filming isn't going to matter if it's not a good story. I'm not sure what you mean by no uniforms, they seemed to be wearing them in the trailer? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding.
Maybe there'll be a stream or two you can catch to see them.
