Not to anger Ian-S even more, but 3 of my Netflix owning friends are watching and enjoying Star Trek: Discovery now despite never watching an episode of Star Trek before in their lives...
grrrr, can't even come here and lament F1 now without having that abomination shoved in my face, at least that makes 4 fans of STD, don't think you're gonna save it even though you're the target audience, so yeah they will love it, Disco is not made for people who have watched Trek before, just like Captain Marvel isn't made for me according to the main star, so I won't be watching that either.
Having said that, the last episode wasn't bad, but unfortunately it doesn't make up for the canon breaking previous episode that introduced the comm badge a century too early.
My irk with STD is the time period it is set in and the Mary Sue main star, if it was set after Nemesis or Voyager, it would be easier to watch and accept, Doug Jones and Anton Mount are the only decent thing about it.
This is exactly what I didn't want to happen...

If they keep his segment with a different presenter then I'm fine with it. Ted was a fuckwit. He was good when he was actually talking about the technicalities of the sport and what happened to so and so, but outside of that I found him to be cringe worthy and a complete moron.
Ted was actually OK in the ITV/BBC era, it was just like being cherry picked for Sky meant it went to his head and he became an insufferable ego monster from the on
Almost as if Sky had a meeting with him before they started and said "we're gonna pay you more and let you show more of your personality" without realising how much of a bad Idea that'd be...
