Well, it's too quiet around here.
What do my fellow Trekkies think about Discovery?
And, why is it called Discovery if that's not the name of the ship? Seems odd.

It’s clearly a different way of doing the show. Not happy about pay access to see it. I’ll take any Trek show over no Trek show but hoping to see good character development. I already don’t like the too nervous science officer and an actual looks like a robot on the bridge? That should be an interesting story! LLAP!

The ship's name is not Discovery, it's a Chinese name that I can't spell. Starts with S.
I like the characters but I am not crazy about long story arcs based on a war. I hope they do more with the story than that. I tired of the Borg and Xindi storylines long before the Trek writers did.
I'm also not crazy for CBS pay access, especially as everyone outside the US will have access on Netflix. I'm planning to join for just one month at the end of each season and then binge watching. (Cue: evil laugh)

Christina, you are thinking of ST: Voyager. Voyager was the name of the ship.

Ahhhhh, so we're not to the Discovery, yet.
I'm interested in the robotic officer since Data was the first legally declared sentient android and that is yet to come? Although I don't know how a being could be an officer without being sentient. (Cough, cough, yes, I know this is a great straight line for some of you vets.)
I did see an article that there were a couple of "easter eggs" in the Shenzou's Captain's ready room--namely, a bottle of wine from Chateau Picard and books on the adventures of . . . Kirk and Spock?
Disclosure: I only saw the part of the premier that aired on CBS. I haven't watched the latter part, which is streaming.

VERY interesting point on the robot. and this has to be while kirk is around time wise, does it not? based on undiscovered country, a movie i do love, before that movie has to be time frame for this show? at least that is what im thinking

I'm wondering if Discovery predates Kirk and Spock while Shenzou comes afterwards, even though we are introduced to the Shenzou first?

I saw episode 1 - really enjoyed it. I had no idea though that future episodes were a pay tv type thing - that is really annoying!

Oh, and Star Wars is space fantasy, while Star Trek is science fiction. So there.
