quote [ Before Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise there was Discovery. ]
Gotta say, I found this trailer quite compelling and encouraging. Production looks beautiful, but all I ask for is interesting characters and thoughtful, well-written stories.
Hopefully this works for those outside the US:

No doubt there will be other alternatives for watching it.

Or, first approach to an alien planet? Let's send an exploratory party, consisting of the captain and all senior officers. Ahh yess. Nostalgic colonialism.
But ignorance and stupidity have been plot vehicles for a while. For me, it's whether or not I'm willing to suspend disbelief for the duration. Character development, plot twists, and good dialogue make for good cover. As long as you view it in context.
