"This is not Star Trek" – the first reactions to Star Trek Discovery are split right down the middle

For the first time since 2002, Star Trek is boldly going where it’s gone, uhh, several times before: TV. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Trek Discovery made its debut amid fanfare and l🧔ots and lots o🌟f Klingons, but what did the general public make of it?
It’s difficult to remember such a polarising set of opinions immediately following a beloved franchise’s return, but here we are – let’s set our phasers to stun(ned) and delve deep into the far reaches of a place no man has returned from un-scarred: the internet. If you want to check it out for yourself, download CBS All-Access (a paid service) in the US or๊ fire up Netflix in the UK.
Psst... while there's plenty of opinion𝔉s below, I've only included spoiler-free reactions. However, if you want to watch the premiere completely blind, I'd recommend coming back to this article after you'veꦆ seen it.
The good
already the best premier of ꩲany #StarTrek series & @SonequaMG is amazing @StarTrek @startrekcbs #StarTrekDiscovery
@StarTrek @startrekcbs I don't want this first episode to end!"The only word t෴o describe it is , wow!" @SonequaMG Makin' a great Number ✨One!
@StarTrek #StarTrek🤡Discovery watched first 2 episodes and my verdict is; YES I WANT MORE. #michelleyeoh is incredible

The bad
This is not Star Trek. Opening titles are god awful, the uဣniforms!? Roddenberry would be saddened.𒉰 #StarTrekDiscovery
♛Blimey charlie. Stopped Star Trek Discovery half-way through f🐼irst ep. Way too boring.
Uhh wtf did 𝄹I just watch? ..... This is not Star Trek. The ship,bridge, and whole setting is totally wrong. Star Trek Discovery is sh♍it.
And the ugly (Klingons)
Star Trek Discovery - first impressions. Story good, main character goo🍌d, dialogue okay.... look/design (especially of klingons) awful.
The Klingons from Star Trek Discovery look more like the aliens from Prometheus. Also: No moust𒆙aches? WTF?
Sonequa Martin-Green didn't r🅠ecognize a Klingon? No problem... neither꧃ did ANYONE who knows Trek. #StarTrekDiscovery
Oh, captain, my captain?
Michelle Yeoh as the Captain and @SonequaMG as the Commander are fantastic. T♛his scene gave me goosebumps. I'm hooked on @startrekcbs
And yes... I love Michelle Yeoh as Captain! She is FABULOUS 😍😍😍 #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrekDiscoveryPremiere pic.twitter.com/5cyDqjx62S
Sonequa Martin-Green leads the way
@SonequaMG killing it on #StarTrekDiscovery This s♏how is pheno𒅌menal.
As LCDR Michael Burnham, @SonequaMG is leading Star Trek to new heights! Fantastic opener #Discovery 🖖 pic.twitter.com/tjHc5F6GHX

Spock has a... what?
Spock, did you know you ha🐼d an adopted human siste🀅r named Michael?#StarTrekDiscovery pic.twitter.com/KahpAnnO27
The first ep of Discovery is good but "the adventures of Spock's adoptꦬed hu♉man sister" is surely the premise of one thousand fan fics right?
