STAR TREK DISCOVERY Discussion Thread *Beware Spoilers*

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Even Georgiou is getting annoying and not making sense. Oh, you're the emperor of an evil mirror galaxy and disguised as a dead (and respected) Terran captain working for a super secret Star Fleet division? Don't worry, I know but I won't tell anyone. What?

And putting Ash in a black suit and giving him a job with the mysterious division doesn't change the fact he's about as menacing as a wet piece of lettuce. I swear, he has this constant look like a dog that didn't something bad and got caught. Gay Klingon Hipster.

And all of that spore 'science' and the storyline with having to find Tilly is classic Discovery. Interesting sets and visuals coupled with plotlines so stupid it breaks any immersion that may have existed.

Yeah, I'm over her and that whole Section 31 BS now. And for a super secret division, they sure do flash that special insignia badge around a lot and everyone seems to know what it means.

I honestly hope they never find Spock - the inevitable cock-up it will be.

They have an actor listed in the credits...

Yeah, from what I have read, they will find him within the next few episodes (I saw something like it was going to happen around episode 6 or 7).

Exactly, it's the future and there will always be 'future tech' so there will always be some way to solve a problem. That was very prominent starting with TOS and everything going forward. So that part I really don't have much issue with, same as you.

But yes, that whole thing with the mycilial network world and how to get Tilly back and how long it would take this super fungus to eat thru the ship's hull ("luckily tritanium isn't their most favorite food" Stamets or Burnham said, or something to that effect) was just asinine. Completely asinine. At least on TOS when dealing with 'unsolvable' problems, all of them, Spock, Scotty, McCoy, anyone involved would admit that they just don't know. These yahoos on Discovery apparently know everything however.

And then when they did find Jussie and they were running out of time and it was imperative that they got back so the ship could get out of the half and half condition, they were all just standing around and discussing things like there wasn't any urgency at all.

Find Jussie..

I heard it was going to be a spin off series and that's why Ash is in show purgatory right now. They want to gauge fan reaction. Great, another stupid 'pre-show' that will add absolutely nothing to the canon of Star Trek as we know it.

Yeah I've seen him with a beard and I predict a hipster Spock, with all sorts of conflicting EMOTIONS, and Burnham of course is the only one who can fix him.

ewww

Another thing we learn on Discovery....no one really dies, they come back in some way shape or form

I read somewhere that the Section 31 show is already green lit.

That explanation by Stamets when Tilly was in that spore pod thing. Basically, there's no trace of her at all so she must be alive somewhere else!

We've never seen this form of life before but I completely understand how they work! If someone is swallowed, they go to the Mycilial plane of existence and we can communicate with them!

Fuck off Tilly was digested. Face facts

And Klingon Moms can at any time during pregnancy move the embryo to another Klingon female to continue the gestation, no problemo

Remember that review I posted from somewhere a ways back about how Discovery is filled with 'hard science'?

Michelle Yeoh played a badass bad guy on the show Strike Back (pure action and gun porn series) for a season. She did a good job.

On this show she's wooden and barely gets her lines said without me cringing. Bad acting on a bad show I guess.

That's where me and you differ a little in opinion. I'm not expecting realism because of the nature of Star Trek shows in general, but when the science becomes so left field I laugh...it's time to stop.

Yeah those positive reviewers live in a different world when they make claims like that Hard science to them is getting a wifi signal outside of a coffee shop. They've never experienced anything of real life.

And that perpetual smirk she has on her face all the time now. And then a couple of episodes ago Burnham and her are walking thru the corridors and Burnham calls he a snake and she hisses back at Burnham?

[Hal-9000]

I remember the hiss I should be taking notes because as I watched that scene I thought - Lance is probably watching this and cringing in the same way.
