How come nobody is talking about the best part of the episode: "Did that Klingon just shush you?" He totally decided the humans weren't as bad, and walked out of his hiding place, not attacking. Would have been interesting to see Klingonbro fight alongside them for a couple minutes.

I thought that the reason they ate Michelle Yeoh was because they didn't have any food, and that she was basically some meat sitting around. They mentioned a few times that they were starving, and they were close to cannibalism. That's why the other captain was able to get the whole crew to defect by laying out a banquet. Granted, that would mean they left her for a long time, and she probably spoiled by then.

Lorca isn't out of place in Star Trek. We've had militaristic captains around before, and the Federation is in a state of war. He's important because he exists on the opposing side from Stamets and Saru and Burnham. I'm hoping that they don't make him bad in the end. He'll be more interesting as a good captain trying to protect the Federation while being a little more loose with ethics rules. It's too cliched to make him bad. I hate the new Klingon ships, though. I want to see D-7s flying around!

I thought these were two different ships: the D7 that captured them, and the "prison ship" that they escaped. To me, this looks like the bottom of the nose of the D7. I know I'm stretching because I want D7s in this show, but I do see it. It looks like it bulges out a bit like the front of the D7.

Didn't Stamets say something about trying everything and there wasn't any option that didn't end in Mudd taking over? That's why he was bringing the others in. I think we saw the very first loop, and the second loop we saw was like 10 or so down the line. The third one we saw was dozens past that one.

That was a pretty good battle at the beginning. Too bad it didn't use normal D7s. That would have been really cool.

I like how Lorca is acting like a Starfleet captain at the beginning of the episode, telling the Admiral one thing and coming up with a way to quickly disobey orders.

What if the show goes full Sliders and they have to start jumping randomly to get home, going through all different universes. One of these universes will be the Mirror Universe. Stamets being injured means that he can't pinpoint the right universe. He can still jump between them, but doesn't know which one he's going too. The show can have mini-arcs within one universe, but they eventually leave and find another one.

Chickenwalker posted:Are we to assume that he's actually dead or that she just thinks he is? Manchurian Candidate Clem Fandango stops being interesting as a character without the Manchurian Candidate angle, so I've got a feeling we've got some Head Six bullshit to come. I think we're to assume he's dead. She did her brain sifter thing, he went from speaking Klingon to English, and she did the death yell after seeing the flashbacks. I'm going with Voq's dead and Tyler has a hosed up Human-Klingon body.

So did Prime Lorca die on the ISS Buran? My takeaway was that ISS Buran was attacking the Charon, flew into an Ion Storm just when Lorca was trying to transport somewhere, and that's what caused him to get into the Prime universe. He would have switched places with Prime Lorca a la Mirror Mirror, right? After that I'm assuming he escape podded off and blew up the Buran himself when they realized he wasn't the Prime Lorca. We know that the Mirror Universe thought that Lorca was dead. Presumably they blew up the ISS Buran?

HD DAD posted:I got the impression she mind probed the Ash meat puppet and essentially deleted Voq.dll Yeah, basically the inside of the body was Voq, converted to human through surgery. They then put the flayed skin of Tyler over that modified Voq. They also put Tyler's personality, memories, etc over Voq's memory. She killed the Voq mind underneath.

Discovery first season is better than every other first season but TOS. I just wish that the ships weren't all so uniformally terrible. They should have taken the ships from the TOS Blueprints book, even though it was non-canon. I'm even willing to look past the Klingon redesign, but they should have been flying D7s. I would have loved to see them as actual TOSS Klingons, but I understand they really can't legitimately do that in a modern sci-fi show.

Remember that is a rendering made of the drawings. There never was a model, so that's a modern interpretation.

I still say this is the best first season since TOS. Voyager had an okay first season, but every show was allowed to grow. If Discovery grows at the rate that TNG does, this show will be incredible by season 3-4.

PostNouveau posted:He also left American Gods. I dunno if he's hard to work with or just very principled or what I'd expect him to leave Vampire Chronicles as well. It sounds like he wants things to be done his way, and when he runs into someone who stands up to him, he leaves. I can see Anne Rice standing up to him. About American Gods: AV Club posted:Quoting anonymous sources from the show’s production, THR claims that Gaiman butted heads with Green and Fuller about the series’ direction going forward, with the author allegedly balking at decisions that would have moved the second season away from a straighter adaptation of his 2001 novel. I wish we could have seen Fuller's version of the uniforms, though. He wanted to keep everything to basically TOS stylings. He also wanted to bounce around and look at ships in different eras, so one ship would be in TNG's time, one in the 25th century, etc. MichiganCubbie fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Feb 8, 2018 |
