I'm finding I have more "patience", these days, with regard to viewing and reading stuff [1]. I may just wait until the season's done, then add the CBS thing to my Amazon Prime/Video -- I see tiles for the CBS stuff, so I assume I can -- for a month and binge watch. Is doing so now worth it for "Discovery"? Some other comments on this thread make me think, perhaps not. Even if the new... "Stewart vehicle" is not TNG, let's hope it is of equal quality. Make it so. The last season of Wallander (the Swedish production, not the Branagh thing) became rather interesting, exploring the experience of later life and perhaps the meaning of life as found in and through that context. The new Star Trek show probably won't emphasize this, but it would be an interesting perspective. -- 1) For example, I bought season 2 of "The Expanse". But, now that Amazon has picked up production, I'm just waiting for season 3 to be added to the Prime offering; I just don't find myself in that much of a hurry/need, even though I found the show quite good.

I, too, just have Vudu, Netflix and Prime for my video entertainment. The TV's in our house mostly sit dark anymore - my wife and I can each watch a movie or episode on one computer screen while we play a game on the other. I have a third screen that shows the security cam feeds and live weather radar. "The Expanse" was the best Sci-Fi series I've seen in a long time. Another that I've started that seems good is "Killjoys".

  "Babylon 5" was added to Prime, about a month ago. I've been enjoying rewatching it. Yes, the graphics and sets are a bit budget compared to the big studios. (Although, not in all ways.) But the story itself -- a continuous plot encompassing five seasons -- along with the acting, make it first rate, for me. Also, fundamentally, it's in the "humanist" vein -- something that really appealed to me when it reached its peak in "The Next Generation".

Personally I liked discovery but you need to be aware of a couple things: - they turned up the drama something fierce. The first two episodes are the worst. - The technobable is horrible. Something about an intergalactic fungus. Other than the above two I really enjoyed the first season.
