Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Lorca said it has been 7 weeks when talking to Lt. Tyler.
This was my thought.
The Admirals didn't know about the Tardigrade's health, they were concerned about the Discovery becoming too conspicuous to the Klingons and only wanted Lorca to use the Spore Drive when they decided it was worth playing their ace. Michael was going to tell Lorca Ripper was sick when she came to the bridge and found out he'd been captured.
Lorca said it was seven months since the Binary Stars, and in the meeting with the Admirals, said Discovery had been conducting hit-and-run attacks on the Klingons for three weeks, since getting the Spore Drive working last episode.
Whoops wow. How did I manage that.
Did he? Looks like they got knocked over by it.
I think this episode highlighted two very big flaws of the series: a terrible main character, and no real ensemble cast. Burnham is a dud. Boot her off and focus on the crew of the Discovery.
Tyler said he couldn't go on, attacked the woman and did everything he could to keep her alive while Lorca blasted her. Definitely.
Yeah, they didn't know in particular that the tartigrade was "sick." But they didn't just bring up that it was getting too conspicuous, they specifically said that until they found another one it was just too risky to try and use the jump drive.
I don't know about that. But I was thinking he might be a Klingon.
But I'm still going under the assumption TPTB are just going to ignore the Augment virus stuff. But if they do intend to entwine it into the story somehow, I think having an undercover agent would be a great way to introduce the human-looking Klingons to humans.
I would be a open door to bring in Billingsly, and that would be awesome.
I like the exterior of the Klingon ships. It probably my favorite part of the new design.
I think the image at the end is Stamets’ evil twin from the Mirror Universe. The experiments probably opened a window for the Mirror Universe to observe what is going on on Discovery.
I like Sonequa Martin-Green and a lot but the writers are giving her a lot of bad material. Right now there are at least four main characters I like more than I do Michael Burnham.
I'm not sure I'd go that far. However, SMG is outacted by several "also starring" actors on the show, and after they have had some development, they make more compelling characters than she does. If I just saw this show and none of the other ones this season, I would have no idea she was the "protagonist" at all.
If they could only get out of Stamets' bathroom.
I loved it, i gave it an 8, nailed the sci-fi, nailed the adventure, really presented another perspective to the sentiments of the little guy via Mudd, the idea that the federation could have something to do with the poop they step into is somewhat thought provoking, a little analogous to our times these days.
This was a great episode, i hope they keep this forward.
And yeah, Ash, i mean i'm bettin that he is voq.

That would be way too on the nose, I doubt it.
Do you all think that Lorca has heard the last of Harcourt Fenton Mudd, or no?
It was creepy, like that film "Mirrors"
I thought it was awesome.
It would creep me the eff out to see that in my damn bathroom
Burnham isn't doing it for me either, her character isn't agreeable with me as either likable or hateable, just annoying. So is Tilly. The rest are growing on me though, even horrid looking silly typical Star Trek alien Saru is beginning to grow on me as a character. Still don't like him yet though, but his scenes are certainly better than earlier episodes.
