Everything looks great; but I really dislike this new Kirk. And yeah, the “romance” between Kirk and Khan, ehhh.
First time I watched Discovery, my brother and I were trying to figure out what kind of aliens the Klingons were, until they said their race.So ****ing delightful! So nice to see Klingons that look like Klingons again! And holy crap is that current scene clearly Toronto. Hello Roots boutique.
Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman are pretty predictable. And Kurtzman has some kind of obsession with Khan. First introduce Khan's future relative, La'an, who just happens to be a high-ranking officer on the Enterprise, next have a romance between La'an and Kirk, then La'an needs to continue to feel very conflicted about who she is, and finally, introduce Khan before he is introduced in Space Seed.
Because reasons.
Don't get me wrong - I like SNW to a degree (Anson Mount is fantastic as Captain Pike), but Robert Meyer Burnett said it right when it he referred to SNW has the Las Vegas version of Star Trek - it's flashy, fun and nice to look at it, however, it's riddled with issues.

Freeze framing it on the Klingon shots, I really like how they are taking the same approach they did to the original TOS Enterprise to the Klingon costumes/makeup. The colours, textures, and sashes, are very reminiscent of the TOS designs, but re-imagined to fit into the higher budget, higher detail aesthetic established by the TOS films and TNG era shows.First time I watched Discovery, my brother and I were trying to figure out what kind of aliens the Klingons were, until they said their race.
