Star Trek: Discovery

[SpookyFrank]

It's like rotating the shield frequency to buy extra time during a battle, no-one seems to think of this till things get desperate, you'd think by now StarFleet Command would have issued a memo making it standard practice.

Or diverting power from the engines to the shields. You'd think, if the ship is getting shot at but not going anywhere, the computer would be able to figure this out by itself. My laptop has automatic power management ffs.

What about life support? What would the computer say?

Star Trek computers are all namby-pamby liberal do-gooders just like the humans. Oherwise they'd realise that of a crew of hundreds, only about six ever do anything and all the rest are just using up resources and could be airlocked with no hindrance to the mission.

So...you mean the plot of Discovery so far then.

Has just come to my attention that season 1 is airing on e4. Not sure how many episodes in. I assume it’s on their catch up service but could be assuming wrong. So everyone should be able to catch up a bit now as e4 is free to air channel.

New season lands on Netflix on 16 October.

I’ve been saying here and telling people IRL it started today because I swear I read so somewhere. But now I see the UK release is indeed tomorrow Friday- which tends to be the case with Netflix anyway. Apologies to anyone I’ve misled and subsequently disappointed, though I’m sure we’ll all survive

Doesn’t sound like you will!

 

[moochedit]

Do they release it all in one go or is it weekly episodes? I binged the first 2 series earlier this year during lockdown so i don't know how the normally release it.

 

[moochedit]

Actually picard was weekly so i guess this is the same.

 

[danny la rouge]

It’s been weekly up until now, so I guess it will again. I’ll watch it weekly right through, leave a gap, then binge it in massive blocks.

 

[ruffneck23]

Yes , its def weekly

Spoiler

I enjoyed it

 

[danny la rouge]

Does it drop just after midnight?

I say this as a bit of a saddo.

 

[danny la rouge]

I watched it this morning. I enjoyed it. I’d heard rumours it was no good. On the strength of the first episode, I’m happy to disregard them now.

 

[ruffneck23]

Yeah I thought it was really good, saw some people moaning on rotten tomatoes yesterday and I really dont get the hate.

Looking forward to next week

Oooh I didn't know it was a new season, I only just finished the first and though it was rather good.

 

[Ax^]

you need to watch s2 before s3 or things wont make sense

 

[danny la rouge]

As a latecomer to BSG, I have to say I much prefer DISCO.

 

[T & P]

For those of us with shit memories, is there a decent (or any kind of) recap of previous seasons at the beginning, or should I watch the last episode of S2 to refresh my memory?

Spoiler: spoiler

having not watched it but seeming as the general exit from season 2 was that they wreaked control and took the sphere data into the 31 century

and left spock and the enterprise behind
