Star Trek: Discovery - Season Two [Blu-ray]

“Star Trek: Discovery” - season 2 brings back the same great level of acting, effects, & stories introduced in season 1. A little disappointed that the creators/ writers have decided to remake some of the episodes from the “Star Trek” Universe but these re-writes aren’t bad at all, as they give additional ‘fleshing out’ of established crew & situations in the “Star Trek” canon. My only real complaint is that the series is currently run on an exclusive steaming service. Good thing they decided to put the series on Blu-Ray. Anxiously awaiting the BR release of season 3. Well worth the watching!

I'm a long time Star Trek fan (I started by watching original broadcasts of TOS as a kid) and have enjoyed all the broadcast shows (TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, Enterprise). My biggest initial gripe was that CBS moved new shows from broadcast to streaming and made it expensive (for my tastes). My first opportunity to watch Discovery was buying BluRay sets (though Season 1 has been broadcast lately) but even those are more expensive than I like (and than the other shows). I bought/watched Season 1 last year and was disappointed (I wasn't impressed with things like using fungus for travel or the way Klingons were treated). Season 2, however, is much better. (There're still references to those S1 things, but the S2 focus is elsewhere.) In particular, the bad guy from S2 comes from (non-Kelvin-timeline) novels in the Trek-verse (with Dr. Bashir joining Section 31--to take it down from the inside--and discovering Control and working to defeat it). I enjoyed those books and like it when things get tied together nicely (unlike Disney totally trashing hundreds of novels to do their new story lines). Bonus Features for this set: some episodes have deleted scenes; one or two have commentary (though I've not listened); there are two Star Trek Short Treks (related to S2 episodes); and there are two or three hours of behind-the-scenes (technical) features.

Great season if the show. Cheaper than buying th service to watch.

My wife and I are both lifetime Star Trek fans - we grew up on the original series with Kirk and the crew and have eagerly consumed every iteration since. We love Discovery, now, too, but it definitely diverges from the "classic" Star Trek adventure we were expecting. That is thanks in part to it being pay-to-watch and not regular broadcast TV, which allows CBS to go a little darker and grittier than the traditional Trek of my childhood. That isn't a bad thing - we both love seeing the darker side of Star Trek - but if you're looking for the light tones most of the other series' carried in many episodes, it will catch you off guard. Go in with an open mind - something Star Trek has always been a proponent of - and you're in for a treat.

Loved the series. I know Michele Yeoh is just a Special Guest, but I wish she will always be in the Discovery series that should continue.

I really enjoy Star Trek Discovery. The season picks up right where season one left off. I have always been a fan of Star Trek but I never considered myself as hardcore as many others do out there. This show has been considered very divisive among the Star Trek fan community due to the change in tone and storytelling. I also feel that this show is a great jumping on point for people who have never really watched a lot of Star Trek before. I like the changes that have been made in this series. The special effects are near theatrical quality and the pacing is much faster than old Star Trek. If you enjoyed the JJ Abrams films than this is the series for you. Older fans might find this to just not quite be the Trek they are looking for. Either way I would recommend any fan of good science fiction to watch both seasons of this slick production. Highly recommended.

I am not that into Star Trek. I don’t watch the original because I think sometimes it is campy. But Star Trek Discovery is the bomb!!!

Different from other Star Trek series. With new and old Star Trek stars, great action. Story twists are so surprising, endings are not what you expected.
