It's just the preview that was shown after episode 9. It's nothing new.

Is there a free version of CBS Access? I'm in the US, want to catch Discovery, but don't want to sign up for CBS Access. I don't think I can wait until the end of the month to catch Discovery on Netflix back home.
Can you not use a pay-per-month DNS to access British Netflix?
I could, but I might just hold out and watch it when I'm back home. I just really want to know where they ended up.

That service offers a 14-day free trial, which is enough time to catch up with the series, and then some. No credit card details needed, just a valid email.
I'm glad a number of people pushed me to continue watching. Episodes 4 through 7 were much more like the Trek I'm used to. Saru and Stamets are providing a great amount of levity (Saru unintentionally, of course), Ash was a great addition to the crew (though, if he's a mole, that will be very disappointing), Lorca isn't angry all the time, and Burnham is growing on me. Plus, I was very satisfied with Rainn Wilson's rendition as Mudd, and the temporal loop episode was classic Trek (for me).
If only we didn't have characters dropping f-bombs and breaking Klingon necks. ::smh:: Two more episodes to go!

It's getting there, yeah. I hope that the first episodes were just used to bring new people into the franchise or hold on to fans who like the new movies and then they transitions into more traditional Trek, although there's a lot of things I like that Discovery is introducing too.
Let's just see where this goes.
I agree with most of your points - especially that Ash being a mole would be a bummer, he's too much at the heart of the crew already for the twist not to be 'oh for fuck sake' - but I really don't have any issue with the (very) occasional swearing and violence. Star Trek isn't a kids show, and really, if parents want to be weird about their kids hearing certain words, that's their problem in 2017.
This airs a week from today and there has been no promotion for this of any kind. No interviews, trailers, etc. If it wasn't for the fact that is already got renewed for a season two, I would just assume the show was already dead. I bet a lot of people forget this will be airing next week due to the lack of a single mention anywhere.
I'm holding off on the entire thing until it's all up for streaming. Then I'll watch.
Netflix UK 4K > CBS All Access 1080p
I would love to do that, but I don't think I can hold off on finding out where they ended up lol
If you haven't yet seen it, you can fill the time with the Expanse. It's not Trek, but it's good.
Fantastic recommendation, Sir, but unfortunately I've seen it and read the books. lol
Since Discovery went on a break I've gone through TNG and Voyager too lol
the break was a really bad idea
but i'm looking forward to more eps. i didn't know exactly when it was back until you said a week from today though.
Yeah, I couldn't remember what date Disco was coming back. I knew it was January but not when. They might have dropped the ball with their promotion.
Its not in 4k on UK netflix is it?
There are certainly absolutly no 4k rips, which there certainly would have been were it in 4k.
and the image quality is so bad it looks sub 720 except on the opening sequence.
So who's ready for Sunday my guys
Where did you get this shirt from?!
The official site. Overpriced and took forever. So why am I so happy?
Yeah, I looked at the prices. So expensive!
Surprisingly, I looked at Amazon Canada and they had a "Licensed" DISCO shirt as well... https://www.amazon.ca/Licensed-Star-Trek-Disco-Mens/dp/B078J13GCZ
Guess we will

Seven episodes in and I don't know how to feel about this show.
I like how it's turning a lot of conventions on their head, and addressing issues not commonly discussed in Star Trek, but I can't get over the canon disrupting tech. (Spore drive, panel-less displays, time crystals, a damn holodeck, etc.)
I wish my inner Trekkie would shut up so I can enjoy the show more.

It bothers me too. Hopefully they will explain why this tech never made it to the rest of the fleet.
They have new gear at their store https://shop.startrek.com/product/Z...zip-lightweight-pullover?cp=67928_82896_97994
Kinda pricey but I like it

I wonder if I just stand outside the soundstage long enough if they will give me a shirt.
Jonathan directed the Charlize Theron episode... the one I recall the first time people felt the show lost some people ironically
why remember the date when it just shows up as a 'resume watching' on Netflix anyway? ... :'D
Was the trailer just a tease then? I haven't started watching the show since it's not all up, but the trailer streams on UK Netflix in 4K.
Why would they master a trailer in 4K if the show isn't? :(
I know with CBS All Access they do and did email reminders. They even emailed about the season renewal, when the return date would be, etc. I don't and didn't expect advertising on TV or anything. They only started up twitter advertising more earlier this week. Figure they might ramp things up a bit more as we get closer to Sunday.
That said all the advertising over the past few weeks from the CBS twitter and on web ads I've seen have had this. "Episodes 1-9 of Star Trek: Discovery are now streaming on CBS All Access. Season 1 continues January 7, 2018." So they have been putting out the date and if you're watching already and did enjoy the show they figure you'll still be looking for the date since they did say January when the mid-season finale aired.

I know their social media has been promoting the show, since this is streaming only I don't think they'd show normal TV ads.
Maybe they were afraid of people just abusing their holodeck privileges. Too much vidya gaems & pr0n. :p
Anyways, it could just be down to wanting really really long term research studies to make sure they're safe. We kinda take it for granted because of TNG-era fiction, but the tech does have scary implications. Even Janeway was hesitant about introducing replicators and holodeck stuff to various folks in the Delta Quadrant (IIRC... it's been a while). idk, I don't think it needs to be a really complex explanation. Voyager saw their fair share of holodeck problems.
Before the space-tardigrade, the spore drive didn't have good accuracy or range, so it probably just wasn't deemed fit for spreading to the rest of the fleet, and then they could minimize the risk of having it fall into enemy hands, and accidentally levelling the playing field. The Klingons probably would not have any qualms about enslaving another race or forcing people to operate the device vs Starfleet.
Maybe Starfleet just never find a solution to using it safely and ethically.
