Ep 9: Into the forest I go

^^^
YAY! - Planet Canada....ooops, wrong franchise.

 

[Tesophius]

I'm guessing that in Episode 9 Michael is going to go into the mushroom lab again.

Ep 8: Si vis pacem, para bellum

Please, no more subtitles.

 

[Krandor]

Here we go.



Ep 8: Si vis pacem, para bellum

translated to "If you want peace, prepare for war". That has got to be Lorca.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

Lethe means forgetfulness or concealment, also oblivion.

 

[Sakonna]

"Magic To Make The Sanest Man Go Mad" -- I love these TOS/DS9 style titles

Now if we could just get them on the screen at the start of the episode!

 

[BillJ]

Exciting!

It's nice to see some solid literary allusions.

Ep 7: Magic to make the sanest man go mad

From Homer's Iliad.

Ep 8: Si vis pacem, para bellum

From Vegetius.

Ep 9: Into the forest I go

From the saying "Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul," often attributed to John Muir (but I'm not sure if it was really him or somebody else).

Yes I can see him saying that! But the title is also Very DS9 /Section 31! Nothing says war more than quoting from a bit of everyone's favourite Roman - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus! (Thanks Wiki!) Just glad they are not using the same Sun Tzu quote every single Sci-Ft show uses when they are in a war situation! Thanks for posting these!

Half-Life Thr – I mean, Voq plot confirmed.

 

[Christopher]

From Homer's Iliad.

Specifically Book XIV. "There is the heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover's whisper, irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad."

Also, "Lethe" refers to the River of Forgetfulness in Hades. Which is why the memory-wiped inmate in "Dagger of the Mind" was named that. The episode probably isn't connected to her except through the shared allusion.

"Si Vis Pacem..." is episode 8, so it should be Kirsten Beyer's episode.

That's the ep that David Alan Mack was raving about isn't it?

Ep 9: Into the forest I go

I'm guessing this isn't the "Into the Woods" musical episode I was hoping for.

 

[BillJ]

He also said that the first season of Discovery was the best first season of any Trek show ever.

Yes, it was - he felt episode 8 was very good.

He also said that the first season of Discovery was the best first season of any Trek show ever.

So far, he's right apart from TOS. Perhaps you're forgetting some of the previous season ones.

 

[Kemaiku]

Even a Buffy musical episode where an energy creature takes them over and makes them do it wouldn't turn it around.

I mean nearly. But no.

I enjoyed the first seasons of TNG and Enterprise a heck of a lot more than Discovery, thus far.

Wow. Encounter at Farpoint, The Naked Now, Code Of Honor and the Last Outpost really beat 1-4 of Discovery for you?
