OK just got out of #StarTrekDiscovery and can't say much but… It's good. Really good. — Carli Velocci (@velocciraptor) September 20, 2017

#StarTrekDiscovery's first ep is so good, everyone. @SonequaMG kills it. Acknowledging the old while embracing the new. Can't wait for more. — michelle buchman (@michelledeidre) September 20, 2017
