Star Trek: Discovery

[danny la rouge]

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?

There’s a very brief but probably sufficient recap. Plus the dialogue returns to the circumstances enough for you to get your barings.

 

[ruffneck23]

Ive not watched them though

 

[agricola]

Thought that was very decent, and I especially liked how most of the episode was focused on two characters rather than some of ensemble stuff its been guilty of in the past. The ending was also really moving, far more than I was expecting it to be. However my main takeaway from that episode, and I appreciate its unlikely and probably was just a coincidence but....

MORN LIVES

Anyone else think that...

Book might be a younger incarnation of Shepherd Book from Firefly

The s3 trailer on netflix shows the other crew members so they obviously get through the wormhole eventually. My guess is in next episode.

Maybe but the crew must have survived the ship being destroyed somehow unless time travel is involved. That could get complicated as she sent that timesuit thingy back into the wormhole.

 

[fucthest8]

YES

Thought the first two series were very average, but really enjoyed this. It feels great to finally be in the future times again after the prequel nonsense up to now. Wasn't expecting series 3 to be a federation reunification story, but if that's the way it's going, I am here for it!

 

[sim667]

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

Wait, what?

is discovery not the same as Picard?

 

[strung out]

Wait, what?

Different shows.

Discovery has two seasons on Netflix, the third has just started. Picard has one season on Amazon Prime. There's also Lower Decks, an animated show that isn't available in the UK yet except via torrent.

 

[danny la rouge]

is discovery not the same as Picard?

No. The former is Discovery, the latter is Picard.

 

[agricola]

no - Discovery had its ups and downs but Picard was garbage. I hope it never returns.

 

[fucthest8]

Yeah, I stuck all the way through S1 of Picard. It was utter fucking shite. I kept waiting ... but no, shite. Shan't be watching S2


I thought this ep of Discovery was fucking ace. Proper

 

[mwgdrwg]

The Michael Burnham show is still absolute shite.

 

[ruffneck23]

ah gutted youre not enjoying it

 

[donkyboy]

good god the opening episode of season 3 was so shit. i had to turn it off after burnham was swallowed by that creature. couldn't take the boredom anymore.

and as per the usual hollywood cliche, one party doesn't want to explain while the other doesn't want to know.

 

[Ax^]

so the people who dislike the opening episode of the three season, quick question have you like any of disco since the beginning?

 

[SpookyFrank]

I hope there's no more time travel involved. That one geezer did say that all time travel tech had been got rid of, which felt like the writers drawing a line under it like they (hopefully) have with the teleport-the-ship-anywhere-instantly machine.

Yeah. I enjoyed season 1 and 2.

She’s tremendous. I’ve watched the opening episode of S3 twice now, and thoroughly enjoyed it both times.

 

[sleaterkinney]

I enjoyed it, shades of voyager and being far from home but there could be plenty to build a new series on.

Rebuilding the Federation.

 

[mwgdrwg]

When she went to cry and composed herself I was laughing my head off at how bad it was. Truly horrible overacting.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Watched this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Thought it set things up nicely for the rest of the series

 

[donkyboy]

I'm tired of burnham constantly looking on the verge of tears. enough with the crying.
And the teleport chase scene was unintentionally comical, LOL
