Star Trek: Discovery

[agricola]

Spoiler: ep 7

Much better episode that - the Burnham / Spock bits far more than the shuttle scenes though

 

[T & P]

Now that’s more like it! Best of S2 imo.

I had seen still promo images of

Spoiler

Spock on the web before, but i’m not fully sold yet on his looks here. Looks like a Vulcan hipster.[/quote]

 

[Wilf]

By the by, am I alone in thinking they've amped up Bad Captain Georgiou's evil look a bit too far?

 

[DexterTCN]

So Michael and Spock are off to Talos IV then.

Is this the end for Pike?

 

[Dandred]

Looks like Michelle Yeoh did loads of porn. Fair play.

 

[DexterTCN]

TALOS IV!!!

 

[danny la rouge]

Is this the end for Pike?

It’s an interesting one, isn’t it?

Spoiler

I’m wondering if something has happened to the timeline, (maybe because of the anomaly that Pike and Tyler went through; or if Spock has been doing something to the timeline; or if Stamets is going to do something with the mycelial network; or if Dr Hugh did something when he was trapped there)?

Because Pike and Spock first find Talos IV onboard the Enterprise when they receive the fake distress signal. And they were unaware of the planet’s history before: yet this appears to be prior to those events, because Pike is captain of the Discovery at present, and those events don’t yet appear to have taken place.

So are we currently before or after the Columbia has gone missing, and Vena is found by the Telesians? Or are we after that, but before Pike and the Enterprise receive the distress call?

[For those wanting background,
you should watch the Menagerie now (S1: Ep 11 & 12 of TOS).]

Additionally:

Spoiler: “Talos IV”

I was never convinced by the “last death penalty on the books” device. I know it was the make Talos IV somewhere Fédération Ships wouldn’t visit. But it’s a bit heavy handed. Even considering the telepathic powers of the Talesians.

I know what you’re thinking.

[mwgdrwg]

They wouldn't create a new timeline where Pike isn't crippled. Would they?

BTW, my other half reckons this series/whole Red Angel thing might be a Borg origin story... presume he's not the first to suggest.

Interesting idea. Not sure how that’s work though.

Spoiler: “Red Angel”

I’d be very surprised if it isn’t future Michael

 

[T & P]

As an aside, has anyone had any luck finding where/how to watch the short spinoff episodes since I asked a few months ago?

 

[Ax^]

do you have Netflix?

if so in the trailer section


or if not dailymotion

Spoiler: Red Angel Reveal

It's going to be Wesley Crusher

In all seriousness, one has to assume the short treks will link to to the rest of the season in some form, as we already have seen the kelpian one get expanded, while it wasn't required viewing it led into the episode nicely. Unless they are story arcs left open for future seasons.

So that leaves perhaps a visit to Xahean on the cards, another Harry Mudd episode (I guess he'll be Discovery's Q, showing up at least once a season,) and perhaps the most plausible due to us knowing the tech is from the future, having something to do with how the Discovery ends up adrift for a thousand years and develops it's own computer AI. Zora. Although You'd think that one would probably get left for the actual series finale whenever that may be.

"Shut up, Wesley!"

 

[DotCommunist]

bit disappointing with section 31 tbf. The Culture's Special Circumstances weren't simply banally shit evil. I know voq's 'you weren't there man!' guilt trips and some knowing looks are meant to invest us with the sense of the ambiguous nature of this necessary evil, but its just a bit ham. The other section 31 bloke is a bald unshaven man dressed in black like a medieval torturer from a poor historical TV drama.

 

[danny la rouge]

anyone else spotted that those small short episodes that were released before season 2 have pop up in the trailer section on netflix

How do I find the trailer section? I have random things that autoplay, but I can't see a special section...

 

[Ax^]

if you are on Netflix and search discovery it will come up with more options when you scroll down.

instead of making you explore new shows

I'm being dim, I think. I can't find anything.

 

[Ax^]

what device are you using...

I don't used the app so not sure how you find it

if you use a proper computer to look up shows you get a few options when looking up shows
like series and overview..
