Something is amiss on the U.S.S. Discovery. Michael Burnham finally catches up with the Starfleet ship in a new teaser for CBS's Star Trek Discovery, and if it lives up to this trailer, the first season could change the game for Star Trek fans.

We catch up with Burnham aboard the Discovery, where she meets the dubious Captain Lorca (Jason Isaacs) and his crew -- all of whom have preconceived notions about her as a legendary mutineer. Burnham can't stop thinking about the events that led her here, about the Shenzou and its crew. There's plenty of fighting -- blunt hand-to-hand violence juxtaposed with the cinematic space battles we've come to expect of Trek, all with the tingling undercurrent that no one can be trusted.

Star Trek Discovery streams on CBS All Access.
