Really? Ok maybe I will take a second look one day this winter and give it a second chance.

Same here. I could understand the creators of the show wanting to use more detailed makup, but a radical change wasn't really necessary to me.

I love Science Fiction and I'm all for bending and twisting sci and sci-fi concepts into an inverse Tesseract widget Thinamajig to make it work for a story, but... Spores?

I guess I didn't watch that far into the series to see it, but meh, it doesn't bother me. In The Orville, There's a gay married couple with a baby, and the captain is bisexual, and they weave this into the episodes perfectly. Hopefully Trek does this too.

Hopefully not. Good story and compelling characters are more important in my opinion, especially when it comes to Star Trek.

Agreed.

Ouch! Let it go... Love and let love, etc. 2 dudes making out is better than 2 dudes killing each other.

Me too.... in Star Trek 2009. It fit the scene, it was fun, it was a holy-shit "Rock Music in Star Trek" Moment. It was perfect. But to me, the same song, this time used to kill aliens in ST Beyond was just painful. So bad..so bad.

Agreed. Imagine a really, really good story. A nice slow-burn throughout that ends with an incredible, satisfying revelation. Wow. Arrival comes to mind.
Cheers!
