Not Star Trek
Bridge officers don't attack one another under normal circumstances.
The look is too dark and bleak anyway. I'm out.
Did you see the first episode?

Seven years of serving together and then "Number One Michael" goes and death grips her Captain just because she thinks she is right? Talk about a stupid premise, nearly as bad as "The Quest to Convince Cersei" from GoT's Season 7.
shareExactly. It felt more like it was their first day serving together.
sharewhy do you think it was a death grip? That is a completely mythical Vulcan method. It looked like a simple nerve pinch to me. Still an assault on a superior officer, but not an attempt at murder.
shareI think Spock had used it a long time ago, it sorta stuck. No, it definitely wasn't a "death grip" just a funny name that has developed for it when a Vulcan puts someone to sleep, kinda funny.
share1) there is not "Vulcan Death Grip" and 2) "then "Number One Michael" goes and death grips her Captain just because she thinks she is right?" is not a premise. A premise is the idea for an entire show not just a scene.
By the way, she knew from speaking with Sarek how to get the Klingons from attacking and starting a huge war. The Captain was not having any of it so Michael had to make a call. Let a huge war start or commit insubordination.
She didn't do it "just because she thought she was right"
Oh don't get me wrong, definitely not a murder attempt, "death grip" was just the term we found ourselves using after Spock did it years ago, or something, no Michael certainly didn't have murderous intent to her Captain.
Ah here is the Memory Alpha article on it:

IRRC, and I could be wrong, you are referring to the Enterprise Incident. Spock used a fake technique to make the Romulan Captain think he had killed Captain Kirk. It was never a technique Spock used and I have never heard "death grip" used to describe the Vulcan neck pinch or grip.
shareI liked the first 2 episodes kept me on the edge of my seat the the entire time it kind of remind me of the video game Mass Effect the downside is paying for CBS All Access but it's worth it
shareReally? What else on all access do you plan to watch? Seems pretty slim.
This is the best CBS can do? Video game level?
It has gone full circle. Parts of Mass Effect was clearly inspired by earlier Treks and now the latest on is inspired by ME. Man, how I love the design, look and feel of Mass Effect.
shareYou are the only one I have seen so far who claims to be a fan of Star Trek and thinks this was good. I have been watching this since I was a kid, every episode of every series at least five times. This show is not worth of the title "Star Trek". I hope it dies a quick and painful death.
shareThe crew put a bomb on the corpse of fallen soldier to blow up the ship like a bunch of fucking terrorists. It was the most insulting thing imaginable. They may as well have scalped some klingons while they were at it.
shareYeah, maybe there's a big reveal soon that these are just pretend Starfleet officers; in reality they're Orion pirates in masquerade.
shareIt wasn't a bomb, I thought so at first too. It was a tracking device of some sort so they could follow it and kidnap the main bad guy. They didn't want to kill him because that would make him a martyr, but they did that anyway.
shareI might try to binge watch it on a free trial down the line. Not the most promising beginning, though.
