Finished S1 of Discovery on Monday and watched the Short Treks on Tuesday.
I think my expectations were so low though that I still found myself enjoying the series after about 4 eps in or so. Some ups and downs, but overall, I enjoyed it in spite of myself and preconceived notions. Saru and Lorca grew on me a lot during the series. Stammets and Tilly have potential. Unfortunately, I don't care for or care about Burnham at all yet.
I'm still quite annoyed at the Kilngon redesign and other continuity issues. (My wife did get annoyed when I'd point them out.) I agree that it would have been better if they positioned this after Voyager/Nemesis and do whatever they want.
I am sad that they had to throw in just enough to get TV-MA and TV-14 ratings though. I remember my family huddled around the TV watching TNG when I was 9 or 10 years old. I'm annoyed that I won't be able to share this with my kids in the same fashion.
I'm still angry at the CBS All-Access model. Luckily I didn't pay for S1 since I had 2 months of free trial to go through. I'll probably watch S2E1, then not watch until S2 is done or they have enough content to warrant another sub.
I have a suspicion that they'll be spreading out Discovery, Georgiou's new show, and PIcard's new show throughout the year to try to get folks to subscribe year round for a weekly dose of Star Trek.
