Tragic, but Not Untimely: Star Trek: Discovery Reveals How Important Character Deaths Should Be Handled on TV
Star Trek: Discovery has launched to a breathtaking debut — and all signs are that it's been a huge success for CBS.

Of course, heavy spoilers follow for the first two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery.
