I'm not sure if I would watch if I had to pay, but up here it's on the Space channel which is included in our channels.

I understand your frustration, since I shared it. I finally decided I would either have to stop watching or watch it as a stand-alone series. If they mention other Treks, like they did Archer, I smile and then carry on. Since I've watched every Trek since the original the first time it aired, I would hate to give up on this one.
It's all "war, war, war, how can we kill more efficiently?" If it at least made an effort to try and fit or even care, I'd forgive a lot more.
Apparently it's already been renewed for season 2.

What's next, holodecks?"
And now there's holodecks.

Hmmm. On that 'after-Trek' show on Space channel they said the original script had the creature a proper member of the crew, with a fancy station altered for it's use and everything. Pity they didn't keep that angle. As you say, it's very 'un-Starfleet'.

Did his... inheritors ever remember that what Leto was really doing was breeding humans who produce spice in their own bodies?

& the war storyline just isn't grabbing me at all.

It is a difference we've not really had that much of before. Heavy concentration on a radical branch of Klingons, a dying house. The Klingons so factionalized they can't work together for even one day...

Saw 4 today. Yeah, full-on replicators. And lots of violence and war stuff.

Now watching episode 4. "We will not be alone. We will not have backup." Hah. I see.

Episode three- This spore travel thing strikes me as string theory. String theory mashed together with microscopic biology? Perfectly within Star Trek's usual modus operandi to base such babble on the edges of modern research, but the demonstration seemed to be more like 1960's psychic spy research, specifically the so-called 'distant viewing' psychic power.

I'm not impressed either. I get it that this is pre neutral zone, and we're likely going to get the story of how they arrived at the neutral zone treaty, but meh. Starfleet ethics? Well, they're explaining why Kirk played fast and loose with the rules at times, but a yahoo wrote their rules.
