This chapter in the Trek saga is fantastic. Great characters and character development. Visually stunning, (I have no problem with the ship being fancier than those chronologically coming later ) It is grittier than any trek before. This plays fine and adds to the drama, but very disappointed in season1 episode 5 that "went where no trek had gone before." No need for vulgarity of an R nature. After all generations have watched together for decades. All in all a great effort. I've enjoyed it greatly. You have a treat ahead of you.
