I couldn't watch SFA beyond the first few minutes of the first episode. This wan't Star Trek for me. Star Trek for me needs to be a show about a utopia.

If you want to have a dystopic show, just don't call it Star Trek and I will watch the shit out of it.

    Couldn't read your comment beyond the first few letters, 0/10.

    Ok, so does the series get better after start of the pilot? Because it seemed so far of that I thought there was no recovering from that.

    You'll never know if you don't watch it.

    Sure but how much time am I willing to invest into something that looks to me like it is bad?

    Encounter at Farpoint was terrible too. If you got thru that, you can stomach 90210 in space as well.

    Savor the Trek that is available for I fear there will be significantly less new stuff in the future.

    Maybe it is because I already know TNG to be great, but I don't think encounter at farpoint was really bad. (Was not the best either.)

    I don't just want to watch Star Trek because of that name slapped onto it.

    My favourite Star Trek? TNG followed by Lower Decks followed by TOS and Enterprise (first two seasons).

    Since a bunch of people said that the Pilot isn't really representative, I'll give SFA another shot.

    The first episode is not a good sample of the rest of the show and genuinely feels like an entirely different writing team. The rest of the show feels more like finding and fighting for a utopia, where the first episode feels a lot more pessimistic at the idea that a utopia is even possible. I genuinely recommend skipping through the first episode as much as you want just to get the setting and characters out of it, then start actually watching from the second episode on.
