I've now seen the first four episodes of Stark Trek Discovery, and it is a brilliant piece of work. It would have gotten at least an 8, maybe 9 out of 10 if it wasn't for the fact that it was called Star Trek. It just doesn't have the liberal core that would make it a proper Star Trek, but then again maybe it does - Michael shows promise.
The show that I saw looks to have had its roots in Star Wars (a space war), Alien/Jaws (no spoilers but kind of obvious), and Lord Of the rings (The Klingons do look and sound like the Orcs from Jackson's film). There are also a whole lot of other things that link to other films. So not entirely original, but its all been wonderfully put together to make a classic.
Will I be watching episode 5 - yes!
