This was exactly what I thought. This episode actually felt like Star Trek. I love a good episode with a cracking antagonist who they have to battle with their wits. Stamets is coming into his own, which is nice. Tilly remains amazing. I hope the cast expands a little more to take on the others on the bridge—we keep seeing close-ups of their faces showing "emotions" but we've no reasons to give a shit what they're feeling atm. This Michael/Ash thing is both interesting and annoying because 1) I don't trust him and that's interesting; and 2) I'm sick of love stories being used as a lazy/quick way to inject storytelling.

So many particulars. So many questions.
strong episode, I always like a time loopy story and it was done well. The fate of the space whale goes unmentioned. Wassernames internal blog bits were a bit ffs 'I'm among people but I'm not with them' at the start. Thats the basic human fucking condition you twat. And then at the end about 'what you didn't see was there all along' oh spare me.
good episode though, I see they have progressed from the Ten Forward style of a middle class new york wine bar serving synthahol into a slightly more modern iteration of actually drunk americans listening to crap music in generic yank paaaaarty scene style. Woo, open a keg . twats
despite this I still think its the best episode yet because it had strong plot.

Yep. Best one yet.

Bit far fetched EXCEPT

Mudd is Q
Bit far fetched EXCEPT
at one point Mudd used the phrase "Mon Capitan"

now I'm just laughing because of the time Q gave Riker Q powers and Riker, well what can you say? turned out to be a massive dick. This is why you will always be number one, number one.
but I don't think your theory is correct. A nod maybe, but of no significance to plot. We shall see.

Every episode of Orville and friends seems to be a rip off of something.

That is Rainn Wilson under the beard as Harry Mudd right?

Great bit of casting, he brought some much needed old-school Star Trek camp to an otherwise overly sombre show.

Really good episode again. Even the Klingon bits were good.
seems like the really good episodes seem to lack much involvement of Lukar. At least so far.
crystaline entity? Although wouldn’t explain picard’s crew not having a clue what it was? Find out next week I guess. Maybe

Also enjoyed this week's episode. Was left on a decent cliffhanger.
I still think Ash is a wrong'un btw...

I am more convinced than ever of the batshit theory that
Ash Tyler is Voq. L'Rell was trying to use the Admiral to get onto the Discovery so she could be with him for their nefarious plans. I just hope it's not a case of "inter-species love will stop the war" because ugh. It would be thematically consistent though, with the opening of the series and Voq's overarching drive to unite the houses.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Mudd has been in ST before.
FFS How can Star Trek fans not know who Harry Mudd is?!?!

Really enjoyed it so far, but the last episode was the worst one yet. The klingon stuff is an absolute mess.

Yeah I can't follow the Klingon storyline at all and frankly I can't be arsed anyway.
Idaho
blah blah blah
Yeah I was pretty sure this was the case. It ties sweetly into how the original series klingons look, the next generation look, and worf's refusal to talk about it in the trouble with tribbles crossover.
Also does the discovery captain have a tribble in his ready room in episode 2? Certainly sounds like one.

Yipchaa!
I've had a quick look into that batshit theory, and can see how the evidence is plausible. But I haven't found any clear explanation of how it would have happened, in-story. As in, literally the mechanics for that situation to come about; how does that work, how'd it happen?

I thought the smooth head/craggy head thing was explained in more depth in Enterprise. thats what i'd read

I'd be disappointed if Tyler is Voq, if only because it's been telegraphed so blatantly that I can't believe they'd go for something so obvious.I've had a quick look into that batshit theory, and can see how the evidence is plausible.

Surely it would show up in the transporter.
But yeah, seems a likeable character, would be a shame. We already had a Klingon Security Chief in NextGen.
