I came into this, with very low expectations. The previous star-treks are a tough act to follow. Yet, this first episode surprised me. It set the stage for some great storytelling. Opening up a whole new chapter in star trek's already diverse universe.
This episode was rightly titled Remembrance, it set the stage for what I hope to be some exciting and amazing stories. It showed some really cool tech, some really cool places. If the show can keep going with this and even greater enthusiasm, we are in for one hell of an amazing show.
The one worry I have is Patrick Stewart, he is an amazing actor that's driving these stories. The whole existence of the show revolves around him, and consequently his health. The question I find myself asking is, does he have it in him? He is one hell of an amazing actor. Yet, the show is missing chemistry - desperately trying to leverage past relationships to build relevance. Time will tell if this works, I suspect there is hidden potential yet to be realized in some of the new actors. They're just "no name" actors standing in stark contrast to a legend, Patrick Stewart.
I'm definitely going to be following this show. There is definitely some potential here. So, I'm going to sit back - and try not to be too harsh and critical. I want to take it in for what it is.

Enjoy it - while it lasts. Lets hope 5+ seasons.
