Star trek discovery discovery: Episode 1 the vulcan hello

I don't know why they decided to make this, I am watching it anyway and here is an overview of the story and reviewing it.


The episode starts with this klingon giving a speech to other klingon speaking ofcourse in klingon. He is giving a rallying speech to go to war against the humans. We switch to 2 female humans a captain and someone who is aspiring to be a captain with permission of the captain herself on this desert planet where they restore the water table for a natice species that is animal level intelligence level of animals and go back to their ship

Once there, they are on a mission to repair a commonication relay of the federation and the ship cannot focus on the object they assume broke the communication and they have to send a manned spacewalk to the object. Number one does this and she arrives on the object which turns out to be of klingon origin.

She meets a klingon whom attacks her and she has to kill him in order to survive, now floating we cut to this guy's funeral. I suspect that klingons are facist. Number one goes outside sickness bay and goes to the captain and she doesn't get believed that she has seen a klingon after a while she has convinced the captain and go on red alert and now they have to go in attack mode.

The object reveals itself to be a complete Klingon vessal and they are in a state of who shoots first. The klingons reveal that they are not yet completly unified and they're only a fringe faction inside the klingon.

The klingon are searching for a new torchbearer and his none of his natural successors don't want it, so a white klingon this is not the usual colour and the leader sees this as a benefit and the others as a flaw of nature.

Oh there is one guy that is neither vulcan nor human who is from a species that was bred like cattle and he is afraid of everything and especially Klingons there are apperently still racial devides between humans now that there is all kinds of species running around the place?
One would think this would have been dissappeared if society has come this far.

Number one calls a vulcan to talk about the situation and apperently the vulcan's alway first against Klingon's and now there is this moral fight between number one and the captain, and it ends with this emotional play and she subdues the captain. And ofcourse the captain wakes up and prevents number one from firing. The klingon succesfully called for reinforcements and they warp in at the very end of the episode making this what is called a cliffhanger,

I do not know what to think about this, I did not grow up during the stark trek glory days and I've never actually been a huge fan of older video things like a movies from the fifties as I think tha cgi and other things like acting are bad. So I've never seen the original material and I've never read any possible comics of Star trek. But the thing is that in this piece of Startrek thing is quite good, the only thing is that it moves slower than lets say a movie even tough with the 2 episode structure of this series the run time is as long as a movie. I've yet to see the second part but I think it will be worth it to watch.

I give this episode 7,5/10 klingons as this isn't also your average star trek thing where the old crew comes in and takes over, ruining the day and then saving it and all of creation which they brought in to danger in the first place.
I am also giving the rest of the Star trek universe a maybe instead of a no. Which I think is better but I am still doubting.
Oh and by the way this netflix releases one episode each week!
