TAGGED AS: CBS All Access, Sci-Fi, science fiction
There’s a barrier to entry in watching Star Trek: Discovery, new episodes of which are available only through paid streaming service CBS All Access. Distribution complaints aside, the series has excelled with fans who’ve taken the streaming-only plunge.
The series’ third episode, “Context Is for Kings,” offered a new captain in Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs), an introduction to several other new characters — Rekha Sharma as Commander Landry, Anthony Rapp as Lt. Stamets, and Mary Wiseman as Cadet Sylvia Tilly — and series lead Michael Burnham’s (Sonequa Martin-Green) transition from remorseful prisoner to reluctant crew member on a brand-new starship.
The episode has an 83% Tomatometer score on 12 reviews (updated). Here’s what fans with access to the series had to say.

Long captain's speech and esoteric techno-babble. This is Star Trek as it's supposed to be. #StarTrekDiscovery

Ep3 of #StarTrekDiscovery was even better than Eps 1/2. Feeling like there’s a real show here. pic.twitter.com/WFDe2Zzr49

Tonights episode of #StarTrekDiscovery was the true pilot. New crew is on point – great dynamics & a surprisingly emotional callback.

#StarTrekDiscovery is certainly different than any ST I've known and loved, but so damn good! I'm on board. Good Sci-Fi is just good Sci-Fi!

This Klingon doesn't want me to say how good the first real episode of #StarTrekDiscovery is. I won't tell, but it rhymes with "gnaw some". pic.twitter.com/tEy5KeesJI

Me too…but this guy who plays Lorca is pretty cool. Hve seen him in other things and he is great.

Maybe they will reveal more to Lorca. But right now, he's looking shady AF!
