Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x05 - "Choose Your Pain"

[GeekUSACarl]

They seem to try to impress us with their fancy gadgets in previous episodes but their toothbrushes are not any fancier than mine. Why did they waste so much air time on those unimpressive tooth brushes?

they were highlighting a normal every day evening with Stamets and his homosexual partner.
it was either the toothbrush in his mouth or............

 

[Feron]

someone should consult these kids. they know somethin' about jumpin'

Van Halen

Wrong, wrong. These are Disco jumps, people.

 

[Tesophius]

The slowest scene was definitely the doctor and Stamets brushing teeth for five minutes. Made an impression that they didn't know what to do with the time they had.

maybe archer comes back and teaches them how to quantum leap

[tomalak301]

To quote probably my favorite character on the show

That was really fucking cool

Best episode of the series so far.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Your point?

 

[XCV330]

what... they dont floss in the future?

with mycellium

Maybe they aren't toothbrushes. Maybe that's a tool for 23rd century humans to express affection.

Roddenberry would love that shit

5/10

This was a close call, I made a decision to cancel CBSAA if this episode fell below 5/10 and it turned out to be the best episode yet. Interestingly enough it came after Orville's weakest episode and for the first time they almost tied in quality. So I guess I'm going to continue watching both for now.

I enjoyed the pace, a significant improvement on previous episodes, probably because we didn't get 20 minutes of mumbling "Klingons"

The science is still iffy, but at least it's been explained a tad bit better.

The characters are, I'm shocked to say, coming together. I still don't get a feeling of the crew as I have with every Trek series and my disdain for the michael-point-of-view has only been reinforced. I want to see the crew as a team and it's also time to kill off Michael and change POV to Lorca.

The Mudd scene was okay, which is substantially above of what I expected.

Still don't like the underlying long arc format, but it had a bit of an episodic feel to it, which is great. Overall it still feels like a StarTrek movie instead of an episode, which is not a good thing, I've always felt that movies were all worse than most of the episodes, but in STDs case it's a very slow dragged out movie.

StarTrek was often mediocre and STD achieving mediocrity with this episode is no small feat, I was pleasantly surprised.

I still can't imagine how and if STD is going to be able to pull off a great episode of 8/10 and above, but I saw a glimmer of hope in this one.

Kinda wish you had rated it a 4.

Your point?

I'm just bragging about the fancy tech I have

 

[Vger23]

Anyone notice you never see the Discovery flying at impulse? Or warping past the screen?

LOL, you win the internetz. That has to be the official Disco Jump theme song.

I was thinking that too about it feeling like a movie, throwing everything in your face as fast as possible in a big bang

I think Lorca would prefer this jump

Are you saying "House of Pain" is the pain he would chose?

 

[marsh8472]

I gave it a 7 although I thought about giving it an 8. The April thing and Harry Mudd thing was nice.
