This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yes, you need to subscribe to CBS All Access.  It's $6 per month with ads, or $10 per month without.

Meh. After AbramsTrek, I'm Trekked out. I'll let everyone else watch it for me, and jump on the wagon if it sounds decent.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I saw the long trailers and thought it looked like another attempt to turn Star Trek into action and explosions rather than exploration. Looked glossy like the new movies. I saw the first new movie and didn't care for the route they took. I don't know which universe this new show is set in but it looks like they made the same mistake as they did with Enterprise and set this in the past rather than moving forward with the Star Trek universe. There's no suspense there. We know what happens after they meet the Klingons. Eh, looked dumb to me. Not going to pay $ to find out. This should've been on CBS or something.

Unfortunately, after watching the premiere, the lead reminds me of Janeway.

SF Debris' Janeway.

Don't be a dick.

That's the pundits mouth you're talking with.

This isn't all wizbang and explosions at all. Certainly not so far.

What an asshole you are everywhere you post. Can't stand it when anyone disagrees with you? The new Star Trek looks like shit, sorry. I would have hoped for a good one as I actually like Star Trek when it is done well.

You're welcome to disagree, you just haven't actually watched the show in order to do so.

Tried to watch it. Fell asleep during the episode. That tells me that it isn't worth the CBS streaming service fee. I'll pass.

Star Trek was killed off by Voyager, let it remain dead.

When I want my science fiction fix, I've got The Expanse and Star Wars Rebels. I'm satisfied with science fiction that doesn't put me to sleep while stimulating my imagination.
"Meh."

When in the fuck did this become the common negative response from the intellectually challenged left on this site?
"Meh."

I really am hearing good things about this show from people whose opinions on these things I trust. But that paywall is kind of annoying. I may just wait for the first season to come out on DVD or Bluray, that way, I at least have something physical if I am putting down money to watch.

This is for everyone: no disruption, forum drama or political stuff here. If you guys want to talk about Star Trek and address points relevant to it fine. But no more having things leak out from the pundit forum into here. This is only time I am going to say this.
