Didn't comment on this because I just didn't want to pop anyone's balloon. But if you must ask...
I really didn't like the opening episode, and would have to subscribe to watch anymore. Static scenes with people just standing awkwardly around making lame or melodramatic conversation. The bits of action made no sense to me (that storm's arrival was calculated down to the second, but then suddenly oh my it's arrived far sooner than they thought; and then the fucking starship enters the atmosphere to rescue them, and no, just bloody no!). The Klingons, like you mentioned, were overly made up. And even those founts of action just stood around brooding, having a frown contest and also a contest to see who could talk the absolute slowest. Have to get all that Klingon pronunciation just right, you know, for the ten fans who know Klingon. Jesus fucking Christ.
No characterization at all. Everyone just looked entirely wooden. Maybe over a few episodes they'd loosen up, but-- What a horrible pilot. Everything about it irked me. Michelle Khan really needed to punch someone in the nose. She needs to do that once per episode. At least. And kick a tribble. They should keep tribbles aboard just for her to kick.
Well, now you know the depths of my depraved jadedness.... Sorry.
