Ep 6: Lethe

Ep 7: Magic to make the sanest man go mad

Ep 9: Into the forest I go

Ep 5: Choose your pain? -- Reference to Ripper or to me suffering through another episode?

Ep 6: Lethe - Oblivion?? -- Concealment?

Ep 7: Magic to make the sanest man go mad. -- That is a messy title. Clumsy wording. Lorca?

Ep 8: Si vis pacem, para bellum. -- Lindor, ramamanthas, insectus

Ep9: Into the forest I go. -- Does that mean we get to go to a planet finally? I'm dreaming.
 
Nah, it's cool, I don't need to read the rantings of someone who's here just to be negative.
starmike, it's not easy when you have hopes to enjoy something and it isn't working for you. It's not ranting or choosing to be negative, it's just how it is filtering back to you..
 
You know, if I had a time machine at the moment, I wouldn't use it to go kill Hitler, i'd use it to go back and see if your feelings towards the first season of TNG are true.

Then I'd go ride a T.rex
TNG Premiered 31 years ago. We were all 31 years younger and lived in an era of limited TV programming. The real experiment would be to take the first season of DSC back in time with you, find a way to play it on a shitty 80's TV ( to hide the production values and to hide your high tech mobile device) and see how the people who bitch about it would have reacted to it back then.

I was 10 back then and after a few episodes I thought TNG was the best thing on TV. Rewatching it as an adult largely due to DSC hype, I can see it's flaws, but still think fondly of it.
 
Blame Homer, since that line is straight from The Iliad. :shrug:

I applaud them for daring to using such a solid, classical literary reference in an episode title in this uncultured day and age.

The episode titles aren't onscreen. Admittedly, they're in the much more public descriptions, but the only ones who pay attention to episode titles (vs. "S1 E8" in a corner) are more likely to appreciate grandiose titles.
 
That’s because they’re so insecure about the new show that they feel they must diminish everything old in order to boost the new flavor of the month.

And there's people on the anti-discovery side being myopic and engaging in intellectual dishonesty and revisionist history because they hate change and discovery doesn't meet their ever changing standards . The arguments some are making are no different to the arguments i saw people make towards Enterprise 12 years ago. I had many an argument defending voyager back in 1997 in the chat room of the old startrek.com website. People were hating on it for almost all the same reasons that people are using towards discovery. Everyone hated DS9 when it first started, people hated sisko, all the characters were jerks, the sets were too dark, it was on a space station etc. Star Trek fans have been ripping apart the new since TNG. Let's not pretend otherwise.

All of the shows were pretty average when they started but each grew into their own identity. Discovery deserves the same chance
