Memory Alpha Entry​

 

They released a very short trailer today and I'm intrigued. I think any more footage would give a lot away.

 

Well, with the Breen, I'm sure any negotiations with the Federation will be two-faced.

Can you really trust them?

Laas will show up out of nowhere and lecture L'ak on how him getting together with a solid like Moll wouldn't work.


Vance: Why should we hand Moll and L'ak over to you?

(Breen Primarch pulls out a small silver sphere in his hand)

Burnham: Because he's holding a protomatter detonator!

Kovich: This primarch is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive.

Breen Primach: Moll and L'ak will be taken to the Founders' Homeworld and cast into the Great Link, the resting place of the all-powerful Founders.

Moll (to L'ak): Doesn't sound so bad.

Breen Primarch: In the link, they will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as the changelings slowly digest them over a thousand years.

Moll: On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?

 

More than what has already been given away by the fact the entire episode leaked last week?

 

Stuff leaked?

 

The entire episode was posted on the Canadian Paramount+ outlet last Thursday.

 

Right. But I didn't see any leaks. But, I don't speak Canadian either.

 

I have seen it last week. Gave it a 9.

 

I can feel it in my bones. Play time's over. I'm going to love this one...

... which means all the right people will hate it.

 

I avoided spoilers and I didn't want to watch a low quality pirate video either.

 

Looking forward to it.

 

I thought they released this episode early but after the "Paramount + Original" all I get is the loading circle. I feel like this is their new way of tricking people into believing the episode is already up.

And it's up.

 

Reno really does add a lot of humor to this show. Really liked that "Seven of Limes" comment.

 

better than last week, but still meh

 

Nothing has really changed. If this was the big episode they were so excited about, it was another figure out a clue and go to that location. Yeah you had the Breen and Moll, but they haven't developed Moll well enough to really care what happens to her. Ok, so she's going with the Breen, it's not like she had any other choice. I still want to know what made her so attracted to Lak in the first place. Is her only Motivation the guy she loved? I guess maybe I want a little more origin story to understand what she is getting from all this.

It was better than last week and I do appreciate T'Rina and Vance being back, but we have 3 episodes to go in the final season (A final season they said they had to do some reshoots for) and I feel like they are running in place.

I liked this episode. I'm glad they didn't go with Rayner where I thought they were going to go. The Breen kept things tense. They filled us in a little bit more on what's been going on Post-DS9 and Pre-Burn.

I'm giving it a 9.9. A tenth of a point off for Book saying, "This is wrong." Don't give me flashbacks to Season 4 after Nahn admitted she might've misjudged Book.

 

He was good in bed.

But, seriously, though... I agree there should've been more origin story.

 

Considering the long and violent rap sheet of Moll, the security in this episode was abysmal. She should be wearing restraints on her ankles and wrists, and they should have done a complete search of her person. She should have been confined to short visits, preferably using hologram technology, with her lover and kept in a secured place.

As for her lover L'ak, he should never have access to his medication.

After having gone through more than half of this season so far, I am glad to see this series is ending. The series can't seem to grow past its own failures in story writing and characterization. So far, for me, there has been no standout episode this season. The series is trudging along, like it always has.

One other thing - did someone forget to remember the name of the mirror universe ship? People in this episode were referring to the ship as the ISS. What the hell was up with that?
