I had this problem. Log out of Netflix in the app and log back in again.

Each to their own.

For me, Discovery is definitely missing it's Jadzia Dax, Seven of Nine, Tasha Yar, Janice Rand, T'Pol type character.

Im watching it because I love TOS, TNG and DS9. Im giving the first season a chance and hoping for it to find its feet, but so far garbage.

Also I don't see the need to substantiate my opinion, we all have different opinions, im not going to spoil it for the people enjoying it by picking holes in it, if you enjoy it good. I love the trek multiverse so I will continue to give it my time.

I had exactly the same issue with the last episode. A log off and on fixed it for me

I think its worth the time. Certainly there are holes but then all the other version of ST have massive ones too and you could write war and peace on them. The difference here is that its attempting to make a continuous evolving story line rather than stand alone episodes which is something traditional Trekkies are not used to.

"It's garbage" is a pointless comment. Doesn't explain why you don't like it, why you think it's not just boring or uninteresting but actual rubbish. Doesn't give us any context to understand what you actually expected from the show (for all we know you're a big fan of musicals). Doesn't tell us why your comment has any value (are you a sci-fi nerd, a sixty year old veteran screen writer, a teenager who wants lots of explosions...).

It almost leaves us knowing less than before you wrote the comment.

So, no you don't have to justify yourself, but it would help us to understand what the **** you're talking about.

Definitely worth everyone who is apparently predicting the storyline so well to write the next 5 episodes plot development on here for the record to show how predicable it is so that when it happens over the next month it can be proven...
You only have to do a basic bit of reading on say Reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/75gdgp/... for the Voq story line for example

It wasn't a dig at the show, it is enjoyable but if you're a bit of a trek nerd it does add up quite easily.

But then I have also read in other places various other 'predictions' that have turned out to be nonsense. Lets face it with millions of people posting online about it some of them will get it right.

My point was not that I cannot google peoples guesses at the storyline of course anyone can do that - its that people saying on the thread its a predictable storyline which makes for a not very watchable series, well I think its a good test to see people post up their predictions on here specifically and see who gets it right :-)

You can’t cast such overtly sexualised characters nowadays, the feminazis don’t like it. You have to be more subtle in the twenty-teens.

On another note, I wonder if Harry Mudd is a good guy in this universe?

I am given to believe that there are numerous sites which cater for your "special interests" on the Internet.

The rest of us adults can get on with watching "mainstream" entertainments that do not have to feature nekkid or semi nekkid ladies in order to stimulate our Cerebral Corteces.

I'm not sure, perhaps you can tell me, which right wing nut job gobshiight you are plagiarising?

"Feminnazi"

FFS,etc.
