On the bright side: food synthesizer slots with brightly-colored doors that dispense food on a tray. That's one of the most TOS-esque things about the new series and to quote another food service: I'm loving it.
I'm not going to lie: I kind of giggled with delight when Michael went to the mess hall for the first time and I saw them. And I'm pretty sure we've seen someone eating the standard Starfleet Food Cubes.
 
For everything DSC gets wrong they absolutely nail other aspects more closely than we could have expected. The hand phasers. Tricorders. Communicators. The food synthesizers.

The show makes me angry and then five minutes later I want to hug the s**t out of it. That's not healthy.

Colored food cubes in DSC???? Somebody have a pic?
 
There's a difference between being a dick and being demanding in times of war.

Stamets was borderline insubordinate early on. I thought Lorca handled it well.

I completely thought Stamets deserved the dressing down he got in the fourth episode. My point is only the "mother hen" attitude he took toward the crew in this episode (and is total trust for Ash Tyler) seemed to come totally out of nowhere.

For all the supposed serialization of the show, in a lot of ways it felt like the reset button was at least partially pressed between the last episode and this one.

I got kicked off three times before the stream ran the way it's supposed to. I could have just streamed it through my Xbox app but I didn't feel like booting it up just to watch one hour of programming.

The quality of CBS All Access as a streaming service still leaves a lot to be desired.

I have an Apple TV. I’ve had no problems until tonight. Didn’t stop me from writing a nasty email to customer support. Took me twice as long to watch the episode. That’s obnoxious.
 
Very annoyed by glitchy CBS All Access. I’ve complained.

The show itself was good. Good to know that Sarek always has been royally screwed up and has screwed up both his son and foster daughter. I’d be curious about Amanda’s neuroses and why she tolerated life with Sarek.

I still like Captain Lorca. Technically, he didn’t murder the admiral,I guess. He just followed the rules to his own benefit. Crazy, manipulative, ruthless, very Slytherin.

Ash Tyler is Voq.

I get the impression Lorca actually hand-picked ALL of his crew. He picked people from the Shenzhou because they were ground zero for Klingon savagery, Burnham because she was needed, Stamets because of his plan to create a super-drive, and so on and so on.

He tries to be a mother hen or A Father To his Men (TV tropes) but Stamets isn't having it and finally wore down his patience.
 
- Not buying the katra connection. It's like Burnham's his WIFE, not his adopted daughter. Why would he be dying and reach out to her and NOT Amanda, with whom he's bonded?

i think they have tried to explain this, but I don't remember the exact details. Something like when Sarek tried to save a dying Burnham part of his Katra got stuck in her brain.

It seems more to me that Stamets came with the ship, because the Crossfield-class ships seem to have been build in part as test beds for the spore drives.

Perhaps. The question is of course why? We know he fucked up royally in the past, and that he doesn't have the best relationship with Starfleet command. Why is he, of all captains, not only given the most advanced ship in the fleet, but allowed to assemble a "dream team" of his choosing?
 
I loved hearing the name drop of the Enterprise. That excited me so much more than Spock being mentioned.

She's out there, folks. Now we just have to hope that when they show her she won't be retconned as a giant garbage scow with eight thruster nozzles hanging off her backside.
