Lorca said all kinds of manipulative poo poo to the Discovery crew to get them to do what he wants. Maybe space jingoism is just step one of his 900 step plan to realpolitick his way into creating a liberal utopia where you don't constantly get stabbed in the kidneys all the the time. Like, maybe he's personally all in favour of emancipating the Kelpiens, but that poo poo doesn't play in Space Kentucky so he's gotta dogwhistle his way into the whitehouse before he can effect real change. (Obviously, none of this is right.)

Other highlights were L'Rell's swank empress get up in her last scene and the Fu Manchu proto-TOS Klingon. Otherwise my feelings can be summarised as "this episode was certainly a sequence of events." Snackmar posted:I guess Sybok has been banished from Vulcan as a terrorist by this point? I wasn't expecting her to say something about how "the four of us never get together" (amanda, sarek, spock, michael), excluding Sybok Who more likely to lead the life of an anti-logic terrorist than the childhood victim of a logic terrorist? Michael is Sybok.

lol but seriously I posted:calling that the red angel is tilly 1) Red hair/red angel foreshadowing 2) Goofy nerd turning out to be the mysterious godlike time traveller is enough against type that it comes across as an unexpected twist 3) Body shape roughly matches the silhouette 4) Tilly being a time traveller lets them use a popular character in The Picard Show synergy

at first i found the reveal that the big trauma between burnham & spock was that she was mean to him that one time when they were kids somewhat underwhelming but then you have to recalibrate for the fact they are on and of vulcan. an open display of hostile emotion like that was like making GBS threads down his throat

on the one hand, miriam receiving any kind of characterisation at all before today would have been good but on the other hand it does make for a good stand alone episode. also, was ray sabotaging the spore drive a thing before this week i do not recall it being?

The plot of this one was a rickety tower of contrivances and the dialog has reverted to being so weirdo & unnaturalistic that it takes me out of the show. Shut-up Tilly, God Empress Georgiou and the very last scene were the high points of a very bad episode. Actually I also kinda liked robo-leland it was creepy. They really needed to do more to establish why they could not just blow up the sphere data I was NOT IMMERSED.

If you write it all out like that it kind of seems like there's a bunch of weird stuff happening all the time but in practice it's just not treated as weird or interesting in any way. Everyone's just like "mushroom kingdom makes the ship teleport? Cool. Go plug yourself into the thing, Stamets." and that's it. This show isn't Legion or Maniac or even Legends of Tomorrow. It's not weird, it's just dumb. And not in a fun way. tilly's parasite ghost and wild adventure in the spore-verse were trippy as hell. i actually hated the latter episode because the dialog bugged me but i appreciated the

counterfeitsaint posted:The Defiant is a pretty ship and does a great job of taking Federation design philosophy and tweaking it for war. Compact with minimal armored surface area for maximum volume, but not taking it to such a boring extreme of turning it into a literal cube or sphere. Spindly little nacelle connectors and necks connecting two hulls are weak points. Now if you'll excuse me I'll continue completely ignoring Klingon design philosophy because I don't even know what the gently caress. The Romulans are right out. Didn't the klingons just buy the Bird of Prey off of the Romulans? The sensible used hatchback of space war.
