Star Trek Discovery, your thoughts?

I would dearly love it if those people responsible for the Star Trek universe would all get together, decide what the fuck Klingons are supposed to look like, and stick with it.

Make up and prosthetics continue to advance. I'd be pretty disappointed if the show still looked like it was 1990. Or 1963.

I'm a big fan of TOS, and also TNG. I also enjoyed both Voyager and DS9. I never got into Enterprise, I didn't even really try.

I try not to get lost in nostalgia, however, or let it too strongly color new imaginings of old things. I am not a big fan of the new universe, many of the criticisms leveled at it are just. That being said, many more are deeply bias, and I don't dislike it for it being different alone. Some things are actually very good and quite enjoyable.

So I found time to watch the first part of the first episode on Netflix. I rather liked it, though I'm not utterly hooked. After the initial, wtf moment of seeing the new Klingons passed, I thought they were actually better. I mean, culturally we are seeing more complex Klingons, not just " die with honor" 2 dimensional enemies with vague motives. I enjoyed their deeper culture in TNG and in The Undiscovered Country, this looks to be delving even deeper. So I have no complaints there.

I'll have to watch a few more episodes to fully judge it, but I enjoyed it as it is so far.
