Star Trek: Discovery

I hope we get a montage of him training up now and becoming hench. 'I feel my power'.
I also think next week or at least this season is where we will see the mycellial network drive put out of use for good. It has to go soonish surely.

That would be great - it would also be great if he finds out the predator species on his world are those Kelpien who went through what he did.
 
anyone else spotted that those small short episodes that were released before season 2 have pop up in the trailer section on netflix

:hmm:

they are pretty good one being a nice little extra bit of story building for this weeks episode

:)
 
I've tried hard to like this but he's waving a sword around in the latest eposide, FFS. It's like a crappy Star Wars plot.
 
episode 4 was boring.

Do find this Burnham and Spock story line amusing. She did something so terrible to push him away that he never mentions her ever again in any other movies ever again. Did she catch him masturbating to Klingon porn or something and threatened to tell his parents?

Burnham is the worst in this isn't she, acting-wise. Constantly staring into space or looking perturbed. I actually laughed when she cried.

Tilly though, I love her.

Anyway, this episode was obviously the best one yet as they spoke a bit of Welsh :D

I'm on series one and she is the real weak spot of the whole thing (that and stupid Klingon conversations). I don't remember any other main character so weak in Star Trek. The acting is bad but also what's her character meant to be? In the writing she should represent the tension between human emotion and Vulcan logic. Instead she just goes around doing crazy things, being depressed and starting uninspiring friendships with other boring people. What's the point? I have almost given up and I think her character is the main problem.

Up until the last fifteen minutes I'd have agreed with you, but everything from the bit where Pike told them to hurry the f up and so they had a brainstorming session as to how to save Hugh was just stupid. Come to think of it, how does someone rubbing himself with bark pose an existential threat to an entire ecosystem anyway? In fact, how in a world that is continually remade by the spores does toxic bark even evolve?

toxic bark didn't evolve, it was normal mycellium bark that had come into contact with Hugh. He was an alien body that damaged the ecosystem, everything he touched was infected and spread
 
I thought it was lorca coming back for a minute. He did get kicked into the mushroom void after all. Enjoyable tractor beam action here also
 
Because it not trek they did not science the shit of his improbable return and even hinted that picky swears will save the day, but hey it trying to be different. did not offend me, As much the liaison to the ship that ended the war having Tyler posted to it

very sneaky section 31 :rolleyes:

Every episode is turning into: "we got to find spock we got to find spock. what is this red angel? But wait, lets deal with this matter first".

On a side note, this resurrection thing, I reckon this will eventually turn into the genesis project that brings spock back to life on voyage home.

Just finished a first season binge over a few days. Way better than Enterprise, which I gave up on after the odd series. Looks great, some good performances even if the Klingons are a bit one dimensional. They are either utterly venal or full of honour. That's the deal they get in all the series I think, but usually at least one of the Klingons is a bit more 'human' and nuanced. I like the fact that there aren't any truly annoying/absurd characters on the ship e.g. Neelix. Maybe Michael's roommate is a bit annoying, but gets there in the end. I think it does as good a job as could be done in fitting into the timelines of the previous series, though having to do that is always a plus and a minus. Maybe they are overdoing it a bit using previous stories or scenarios (Harry Mudd, good/evil parallel universe, timeloop etc.), but still very good. Darkest star trek ever?

Best thing since TNG and so far doesn't have as many truly dreadful, quirky episodes as tng. As good as the current films, certainly.
 
hopefully the find Spock soon

more introspection on Micheal and Vog,

i'd say would get old but its surely going to be a plot of an upcoming episode

I think the most crazy thing I’m waiting for is when the series finishes. What bad thing does discovery do that it never gets mentioned ever again for 80 years onwards. The spore drive alone clearly gets wiped from all knowledge banks or like the tech in discovery are we going to be expected to just accept its one of those things and get over it. This is the problem of doing shows based before the original and countless movies and spin offs.

At least with enterprise they at least tried to fit in with existing canon and tech. Discovery must be a nightmare for writers of wikia and encylopedias of Trek tech.

Actually, scratch that. 2 episodes into 2nd series and she's getting right on my wick.

if you are referring to Tilly, then yeah, I agreeage. Her whole persona just oozes fake. aint nobody in the world ever like that.
 
It's still very watchable, but plot-wise the whole show is an absolute mess. There's too much going on in each episode and nothing is ever really dealt with properly.

It reminds me of Heroes, which always felt as if it was about to settle down in a good show but never quite managed it.
