The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry

You people make me feel ashamed, quickly dismissing this show because of the silliest of reasons. Give this show a chance. Remember how everyone wanted Enterprise to be cancelled... well by the time it was being cancelled WE ALL BEGGED FOR IT TO CONTINUE! Remember TNG's beginning and how average it was? Can you imagine if they pulled the plug before season 3???

The silliness in "This isn't Gene Roddenberry vision" is just plain stupid. But you're right, he definitely wouldn't like this show, but you know what else he didn't like? The wrath of khan, probably wouldn't of liked Deep Space Nine.

I respect if you legitimately don't like the show, if it's not your cup of earl grey. But the amount of 1 star reviews for silly bullshit just sickens me.

Anyway I thought this episode, just like episode 3 is feeling more and more trek-like. The crew interactions are warming up, and Michael's getting better. I can't wait to see whats next.

Once again, all this whining about TOL, STNG, and Voyager and so on. It's a new series. Quit living in the past. This has intriguing characters who are just developing their roles. There has been considerable action and an intriguing plot. No, Picard is not there. No, Kirk is not there. No, Scott Bakula is not there. And on and on. So, there is some Star Trek trademark. Perhaps someone should sue. Oh, and the it's too dark. And it's too light. And people are stupid. It has great special effects, lots of cool technology, Klingons being Klingons, and much more. I would suggest that one stop watching and quit throwing tantrums.

Honestly, I almost gave up after the first episode. I've never been a Klingon fan and so it was a chore to sit through all that screen time...

The good things: highly polished visuals and opening production. Casting is also good, with some interesting twists and back stories. Love the theme music!

After episode four, i'm in for the long haul. This is Trek universe with new elements and some from the past.

Watch at least the first 2 or 3 episodes before you cast this one aside. In my mind, It's one of the top 3 productions for TV this fall.

I liked this episode just as the previous one. Nice acting, the IHMO solid production, the incredible CGI, the weird Klingons that actually speak Klingon, the nice idea of the organic spores. Sci-Fi with all the wonderful nonsense. I hope that all the negativity around STD does not harm the continuity of the series. I am not going to see this episode five times to give a line by line of my liking or not liking. I plop down in my easy chair and turn on Channel 2, I mean Netflix and enjoy the show. Better than all this zombie stuff around. If you do not like STD then stay away from it, no problem. I just hope that Silvia Tilly is going to be a bit less silly..

I am a huge fan of Jason Isaacs and of his character. It was a saving factor IMO for this show ( in my memory from my first watching). Now this is more like Star Trek. While I still am not a huge fan of the lead the show in general has improved over these first 4 episodes.
