1) CBS said from the start that they wanted multiple Trek shows out at the same time on All-Access...they're also planning an animated series. It's total BS to say they made the new Picard show because of Discovery.

2) Netflix knew exactly what they were getting into and they did pay for the entire first season.

3) this is 2018...not the 90s...toys and models should be purchased online. Moreover, Discovery is NOT a kids show.

4) dude says the fans 'rejected' Discovery? It's given All-Access the highest ratings it's ever seen...Discovery is doing exactly what it's supposed to.

meh, I'll catch season 2 when it comes out.

The Les Mooves despising sci-fi is accurate along with the rights issues between CBS and Paramount. You can’t just dismiss that out of hand. I tried the first season but it just never hooked me. I don’t know what story they are trying to tell.

It's true about Mooves but hey, not everyone likes SciFi and yes the rights issue is a thing but that's why using CBS All-Access solves a lot of problems. It can be done under Paramounts license, paid for by Netflix, and can grow CBS' newest platform without taking any risk. That's smart business and it brings Trek back.

I like that they have moved the focus from just Michael Burnham in Season 1 to Capt Pike, Spock, AND Burnham in Season 2. I really like Anson Mount as Pike.



she wasn't strong enough to carry the show on her own even with the help of Jason Isaacs and Michelle Yeoh IMHO.
