As a 40+ year Star Trek fan all I can say is Fuck STD and everything to do with it.

So, which show will have the Trump figure become the President of the Federation that tries to make it Human-centric? I'm thinking the Picard one. The devestation brought on by the destruction of Romulus sees endless hordes of Romulan refugees into the Federation and the Trump-figure rises as a result. The show will never address that they could easily be settled onto open planets, or how replicators mean that they're no actual burden anyways. In the end, we'll learn how diversity is the Federation's strength and that bigotry has no place in the future.
There, I saved them from having to bother

you know, if they took the unexpected route and let evil Michelle Yeoh blow up Klingon world, i woulda forgiven every SJW jib jab they threw at me.
The way she talked about klingons just being cancer cells that kept on multiplying, brought me back to Chinatown and how the annoying blacks were "wilding" around, and Chinatown took care of the blacks themselves. (they just put extra Chinese police at the grand st station and caught even and every black that jumped the turnstile, cuz they don't pay for tolls)

Yeah she was fun, was disappointed we didn't get a glimpse of her in the 'this season on Discovery' sequence.

It was an enjoyable enough premiere. Lots more humor than in the past but not anything knee-slappingly over the top.
The main plot of Burnham and Spock's relationship is cringey if only because it seems vaguely incestuous at this point. The mystery of the red dots is intriguing as an overarching narrative for the season. Tig Notaro was great and hopefully becomes the new head of Engineering. Stamets's decision to leave seems very natural given everything he has been through but we all know he will end up staying since he's a series regular -- luckily we have a new science mystery to dig into.
White male science dumbass was predictably a redshirt despite wearing science blue. Women seem to be the only ones with good ideas on the show as epitomized by Burnham. Tilly, also, is a source of ideas as the Ensign seems to be the only person on the ship with a damn brain half the time.
No sign of the Klingon regulars or Emperor Georgiou but we know they will be part of the show even though they weren't in the main credits as they feature prominently in the 'this season' montage.
Overall I had fun with the episode although the extended Pod Racing scene in the second act was a bit superfluous.

Someone literally gets large amounts of green snot sneezed all over them. How is that not over the top?
The show is a fucking joke in more than one way now.

what?
how many times did we have a DRAMATIC PAUSE so that black Burnham could school the dumb white Captain?
Captain: Hurdur!!! i need answers
Burnham: i was getting to that SIR!!!!
=
Captain: We don't leave ppl behind
Burnham: i don't think anyone here WILL leave anyone behind!
Oh look, they're actually letting one eye girl speak more, and no feelings chick and roboman are getting some screen time n sheet,
It's like "oh ok, the action and suspense is move along..." HOLD THE FUCK UP!!!, it's 10mins and we have to inject our SJW Burnham quote.

$5 says Saru shits himself due to fear at some point in the season complete with disgusted looks from other members of the crew.

Why the FUCK is the captain going on a highly dangerous away mission? Yeah, I know, Kirk and sometimes Picard did this as well but not necessarily when the risk of death is highly probable. That shit was retarded.
Also, what the hell, does each ship have its own custom uniform design?
Show is very pretty but god damn it's dumb.

They did say "at least we got the new uniforms" as a throwaway line. Now why they didnt take this opportunity to shift Discovery into those new-style TOS uniforms is beyond me.

i think? Enterprise was on a 5year mission far far away, and got recalled cuz of the war, but even then, uniforms should be somewhat similar after a change, huh?

As someone mentioned above, the Enterprise uniforms were considered the "new" design?
