Felt like a Trek episode though. I didnāt mind that it was slow moving. Itās the constant fast moving shit that does my tits in, so the fact that they essentially took a week off to cope with shit was welcome.
Bit of confusion over what the Trill were, I thought. Theyāre not the symbiotes, theyāre the mould lined humanoids a la Jadzia. Joined Trill is them plus the symbiote.
Also, I like Michael Burnham but she has to be the most inconsistent character in the show. I feel I know Georgiu better than her. Both versons.
I wasnt thinking of marrying her so personality wasnt at the forefrontā¦
But. Others have noted that in the show & on blogs. A year alone with Book? They didnāt? She is still the same?
We saw āsomethingā of that with the Trill guards.
Think there are some story arcs to drop in as we move along.
And whatās with āanotherā secret invisible friend. Gotta be something in that as well
Another strong Trek episode.
Another strong serialisation chapter.
Trek? Problem/mission. Fly somewhere, encounter problem, science the shit out of it.
Serial story?
Moves forwards, answers old asks new questions.
Another big like, another step in the intellectual growth of Saru.
Great stuff
Note: thank fook I started rewatching The Blacklist. Otherwise Iād have spent the whole episode wondering where I saw Oded Fehr before.
(Recurring Mossad Agent in Blacklist)
Yeah.
No spoilers , no lead characters murder endangered species babies/eggs. Good stuff
I would like to express my pride in what has been accomplished here. After two whole seasons of @Cobham-Saint moaning about people not āspoilingā him with Star Trek that had been out for several days, we, like Discovery, are reaching a new phase.
CobFam is watching Discovery as it is released
This breeds exciting forum discussion possibilities, like Cobs weighing in before I do, and me having the chance to vehemently disagree
Allow me to do just that
The Discovery visits Federation HQ. People are dying from some unknown phage. The Discovery offers to find the source of a cure, because only they can do it in time.
Cue much validation from the future Starfleet characters after they see the exploits of their near 1000-year younger counterparts.
This is the first episode of this season that has annoyed me, and it is mostly the seed ship that annoys me. Having one ship carrying all of the Federationās known seeds seems like a particularly precarious way of going about recording the whole of Federation seed history.
Itās bollocks. You store that shit someplace else. Youād make offcuts and copies. This is a long running Federation ship that seems to have an alien and asymmetric design for its storage containers. Who designs a fucking interface like that?
Honestly, this is precisely the sort of shit that destroyed Discovery last time. It doesnāt make sense even with the sci-fi weighed in.
