Television has changed a lot since the last time a Star Trek show was on the air.

"Star Trek: Enterprise" aired its last episode in May 2005, and "Star Trek: Discovery," which premiered Sunday night on CBS (the rest of the season will be on CBS All Access), has proven that the franchise can handle a 2017 upgrade.

Most critics already agree that "Discovery" is a solid return with an excellent cast, an intriguing storyline, and excellent effects that can successfully recruit a new generation of Trekkies, while keeping the spirit that audiences fell in love with over the past few decades.

But, as always, not everyone agrees. Some critics, and users, found the show dull. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show has an 86% critic score, and a 53% audience score.
