    Wow, the CGI budget is through the roof good. Does the quality remain the same through the series?

    Ep. 1 down. It's PC ridden - but there's no escaping that.

    I am grabbed enough to keep watching.

    I guess there was absolutely no new music made in between the 20th and 23rd centuries

    Spock invented that. And yet another slam against him in absentia.

    I can barely remember the episode...on purpose.

    Do we chat about the planet sharing its feelings, Tilly's parasite...or how about the drill bit right into the head without pain killers?

    Any of those are a good place to start....or a myriad of any other stupid things that happened during the episode


    I will say, after thinking what she did in the first episode was pretty stupid and unbelievable (a non-doctor keeping all the wounded alive), I kinda like Reno in this episode for some of the quips she made towards Stamets and all his ideas/beliefs

    Is that her name? Yeah she was a much needed breath of fresh air and can't help but think it was written that way so people could say - Oh, it's just like old school Star Trek!

    She lived correct? I don't know what I was doing to forget so much of an episode I just saw a few days ago el Blanco

    Yeah, she was the engineer on the Hiawatha that was on that super dense asteroid that they took those Star Wars reject pods down to investigate.

    And I'm sure you're right, she's on there to try and placate people like you and me that see everything wrong with everything

    Funny he couldn't use the fungi soul sucker to get it off Tilly again. Must only work once.

    Can I just say that Reno is the most blatantly dykey character on a show since Lena on Ray Donovan?

    So why do you think they based a Star Trek engineer character on a guy who studies mushrooms?

    The real Stamets must have some connection to the show. Hell they used his first name too

    Maybe he's famous in the world of mushrooms? Or I bet one of the writers or directors or someone associated with the show is friends with him. I mean, it's not like the average viewer would know the character is named after a real person.
