I deliberately avoided all reviews until watching, so I could enjoy it, and I'm glad I did. I feel like I've just been on a soulful and fulfilling pilgrimage. After so many flat attempts to follow up TNG, they finally made a Trek I can get behind!
Sure there's flaws: 2 dimensional baddies, space battles that look like PS3 cut-scenes etc, but the story kept me fully engaged (pardon the pun) until the very end. There were moments where this show just became sublime: The first Orchid reception, the "Activation" scenes, Picard and Data's conversations, Every scene with Alison Pill in it, etc.
By the end, I was in love with the new crew, and can't wait to see where they boldly go next.
