4 things I HATE about STAR TREK: DISCOVERY

1.). The first episode aired on CBS, but the rest of the season is only available on CBS ALL ACCESS.  Guess I'll never know what happens next, but do I care? 

2). Another prequel series to the original series and another case of getting the Klingons WRONG!  Though they were a slight improvement over the Freddy Krueger Klingons in the abysmal STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS

3). I've swallowed a lot of STAR TREK nonsense over the years, but I don't buy for a moment that a full-blooded human would be allowed to attend Vulcan Academy, especially before Spock!  This plot twist spits in the half-Vulcan/half-human face of the classic fan favorite! 

4).  Frakin' subtitles are offensive to my half-blind eyes!  Yes, the visually impaired community needs a spokesperson to ignite frenzied  online outrage about how often we are taken for granted!!! ;)

Anyhoo...that's it for now.  Thank you for reading my half-blind nonsense.  If you are visually impaired, I hope you have a tablet with the ability to turn my typed words into a droning unemotional audio-post.  Ain't being half-blind swell? 

Freak Out, 
JLH

P.S.  
Dear TV People,
Forget Will & Grace and Roseanne, and bring back these series instead...

    1. Thank you, Pete! I think the subtitles caused me the most frustration.

  2. Hmmm... Nice summation of your issues with the new series! I've been wondering if this was worth the hype. I don't subscribe to CBS All-Access, either - this strategy seems like a big gamble to me. I think they would have been better off making a deal with Netflix or Amazon, but that's why I don't make the big bucks.

    1. Thank you, Barry!
      I've been told that the new series is or will be available on Netflix.
      It seems to me that if a studio wants viewers, they should make their series more widely available.
