Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x04 - "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry"

[Sir Stewart Wallace]

And Kirk would purse his lips, nod in approval and then glance over to subtly flirt with Burnham.

Janeway would say he wasn't crazy enough, and Archer would drool and fall asleep because he's like 130 now.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

You and me both.

I think the higher scores are because the previous three episodes left a lot to be desired. This episode had some flashes of classic Trek, but is still not yet there.

The tardigrade would need to know about the human concept of love. Who better to teach it?

 

[eschaton]

Welp, Elon Musk already has an entry on Memory Alpha, so it's an official part of canon.

 

[Sir Stewart Wallace]

Not from me. I disliked the first two episodes, thought the third was good, and think the fourth is good. Tastes vary, certainly, but if I didn't like it, I'd say so.

You don't think the Klingon scenes were interminable? Serious question.

146. Not that I would know anything about those details.

I'm not that kind of fan.

That was lighting fast.

Let's be honest: He'd do that even if he wasn't 130.

There is no better love instructor.

No sex I.

You don't think the Klingon scenes were interminable? Serious question.

The scenes where everyone's posturing? Those are boring. The close up scene where Voq and L'rell are removing the dilithium processor? I liked those scenes. Up close, there's a subtlety the two actors manage to convey. I think L'rell is sweet on him, to be honest, but I also sense a fierce loyalty from her, and was genuinely surprised when it seemed she had truly turned on him. I was glad my feelings were correct later, though, when she returned to save Voq from death.

 

[Sir Stewart Wallace]

New idea for a pointless Discovery forum thread: Who is greater and more badass: Lorca or Robau?

 

[cooleddie74]

We're good.




At WHAT I'm not sure.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Robau. Duh.

 

[BeatleJWOL]

There is no better love instructor.

Gene's vision, finally realized.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

Oh, Lorca needs to sit his ass down.

 

[cooleddie74]

Robau.

And he's going to get you for even suggesting otherwise.

I thought that was the best episode of the series so far but I still don’t like how the Klingons talk. Was it at the beginning they were talking about Georgiou and her being eaten because I might have missed that part. My favorite part of the episode was everything dealing with the Ripper and Burnham’s relationship with it, and the torture it is going through as navigator. Those aspects do make this feel like Star Trek because it is a scientific discovery.

Looking forward to next week and I’m very interested to see where this goes.

 

[CorporalClegg]

The only reason people are falling over Lorca is because of Isaacs.

 

[Tesophius]

"Move Along Home" begs to differ. "Threshold". "Spock's Brain." "A Night in Sickbay". "Code of Honor". Etc.

I don't see your point.

 

[eschaton]

A great actor can make a role into something far more than the writers intended. Look at Dukat.

I was thinking, haven't I seen something like this before? On Voyager? Whoa, wait, Landry just got eviscerated, nvm.
