In "The Vulcan Hello" we meet a new cast of Star Fleet characters out on patrol when they run across a broken relay and a cloaked Klingon ship.
In the age of prestige television, I was a little bit worried about the atmosphere and vibe of a new Star Trek series. Through one episode, my qualms seem validated. This thing is so self-serious I couldn't believe it. Don't get me wrong. I love a seriously acted sci-fi show as much as anyone else, but Star Trek has always incorporated a sense of campiness and comedy in its shows. Not here though. This has all the high-strungness of a WWII miniseries. Hopefully this show course-corrects as it goes along...
