I think... the trek is back.... with an "aliens" twist.
And we sure know that captain whatshisname-badass isn't going to succeed in his endeavor.
The ship's feel seems very reminiscent of ST-Ent, which fits well in the timeline.
But the one thing that broke it for me was the holograms. Not even in ST-TNG were communications between vessels done with holograms. Here, they're everywhere. Screens? we don't need screens! Sure it may reflect our current 2017 view of what "screens" may be in the 23rd century, but it breaks in-show canon. To make matters worse, as is often the case with Hollywood hologram communication, the other parties are always represented by a single person, while the folk where action takes place can participate at will in that holographic conversation.
The 3rd episode felt a bit more like proper Trek... too bad that guy with the foreign name wasn't wearing a red shirt... He should have had some red on him. Redshirtowvsky? was that his name?
Anyway, some sciency thing goes wrong and they go there to investigate. Standard Trek, right?... then they go Weyland-Yutani on us and beam that beast aboard... Don't they know the movie Aliens in the future?
Can't wait to see the episode when that things escapes containment... :yawn:
