I can't be bothered with much TV that doesn't really please me. I watch a little stuff that I wouldn't otherwise in order to share time with my mate, who enjoys stuff that drives me a little nuts. But I got a few things yet to do, as my inevitable death draws nie.
 
Seeing the intro, the teasers and all the interviews with the actors, I am very hopeful. Sure, the effects and graphics are updated, but this looks like TOS at its finest. Episodic, hopeful and groundbreaking.

In the words of Christopher Pike, “Hit it.”
 
I expect to enjoy it. Hopefully it will be delightful. Then I expect to come here and find the usual suspects trying mightily to shit all over it, which is fine. There's plenty of room on my ignore list.
 
I suspect I will like it, because frankly if it has Star Trek in the title I usually enjoy it even if suffers from weak writing (I'm not one of the reactionary "this isn't Star Trek" types *eyeroll*). And I love Anson Mount as Pike so I'm excited about that. But in all honesty, I'm kind of "blah" on yet another TOS era prequel...I know I might be in the minority about that. I'm just not really a big TOS person and I know from some people who've seen the first five episodes, there is allegedly a strong TOS camp vibe to the show.
 
Looking through this thread, I wonder why some of you even post here. Some of you sound as if you don't even like Star Trek.

My expectations? I don't have any. I hope it'll be good. I hope I'll like it enough to stick with it, but there hasn't been a Kurtzman Trek show yet that's held my interest. Honestly the last show I watched start to finish as it aired was TNG. Although I did circle back and finally watch all of DS9, ENT and 80% of Voyager. Anson Mount was excellent in season 2 of DISCO. Not thrilled with a Khan relative on the ship, they push the Khan button way too hard on Star Trek.
