Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x07 - "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Entertaining and never dull, with a quick and lively pace, but to me the weakest of 1x03-1x07. I prefer Discovery's usual tone and ongoing story. I found the other episodes to be measurably more fun, despite being more serious. This felt like an episode for folks who prefer a more traditional Trek, which is fine...just not so much my thing.
Still, I had fun.
EDIT to add: as a major TNG fan, what this show is showing me is that I do NOT want more TNG, have very little interest or faith in the Berman-era storytelling format, and very much want a show that upsets the Trek status quo...which is to say that Discovery, generally speaking, is a good fit for me. Less so this episode.

My apologies, it needed a little editing.
I like his take on Mudd. There are some things you can tie to the TOS version.
I gave it a 7 initially. Good fun. Some development for Burnham, Stamets, Tyler, & Lorca. A twist on a Trek trope. Nothing wrong with that.
Or was there? I mean, did we just forget about the Admiral getting kidnapped? Apparently the war is going swimmingly. No rescue OP from Star Fleet. Everyone is just all Okey-Dokey with that? Sure, save the space whales & tardigrades. Enforce the 24th century Endangered Species Act (that Lorca doesn't know/care about). But save an admiral wiyh intimate knowledge of your secret weapon who is in the hands of the enemy? Nah!
Should have downgraded it for that.

Yeah, but sometimes they're kind of all over the place. A lot of planets have hundreds of millions, I remember that one in Dark Frontier had a few hundred thousand (I refuse to believe that wasn't a colony), but there have been higher numbers as well. I believe there were 12 billion Denobulans, and there were 50 billion Husnock. Then in the DS9 episode they said that the Dominion War would have 900 billion casualties if the Dominion conquered everything.
No, the Gagarin is the ship in next week's preview, not Stella's father's ship.
I've never heard of N-Trance, so BeeGees it is.
They sent Harry off to civilian life knowing absolutely everything about Discovery and its secrets.
But the latter ship is in this episode. And we actually saw it.
Now that was an episode of Star Trek! Taut, high-stakes, and fun with some genuine laughs. I hope the show is finally finding its way now.
In the "custody" of someone heavily implied to be one of Starfleet's most important suppliers.
Well, we know Lorca doesn't want to save her and left it to Starfleet who doesn't want him ever using their super teleportation ship.
The only person who wants to use it is Lorca.
Everyone else just wants him perfecting how to replicate it.
There's no way the writers could possibly know how humans will really think, act, party, etc. this far in the future. But that's never been what Trek's all about, anyway.
Trek has never been about the real future, or how humans will really act in that future. It's about US - present-day humans, just in a future framework.
Besides, they try to get too futuristic, they'll alienate present-day viewers...
I'm not following.
