Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x11 - "The Wolf Inside"

[Captain Shaw]

I wonder if we'll get to see mirror discovery?
If not I wonder if our Discovery finds starfleet is after them because mirror Discovery decided to say hello to the vulcans?
Or they could have won the war.

 

[Captain Shaw]

Wasn't Stargate filmed in/around Vancouver?

Oh yes the geek in me should have known that.

Quick question...

When did Photons become Nukes? their power seemed well OTT at the end.

They've always been more powerful than nukes - they use a matter-antimatter explosion ffs! The yield is measured in some series as "isotons" which, whilst not defined, is unlikely to be smaller than megatons for the simple reason we already HAVE measurements smaller than megatons.

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

Oh yes the geek in me should have known that.

That, and the abundance of conifer-forest planets that they dialed up.

 

[Feron]

Beaming people into space seems too merciful for the Terran Empire.

Dictatorships torture people to keep them and the rest of the populace in line. If someone could potentially become a threat, they are killed. The dictatorship lives in constant fear as well.

 

[Attentiveluke]

Just watched it and I’m disappointed. Dragging the story out, still not shown the USS Defiant, Ash story boring, Stamets story boring, Georgiou as empresss boring and predictable. I pine for the days of episodic Star Trek. 4/10

The series seems to be falling into one of the Trek staples however - that every main cast member must be given at least a few lines of dialogue per episode, no matter how useless they are to the drama of the week. Without the B plot, there's no reason to show Stamets, and precious little reason to show Tilly.

imagine the uproar if after last week's exploits capt killy/cadet tilly hadn't shown up yesterday

The Emperor's Ship appears to have a miniature sun powering it or something

At this point, I'd predict that Burnham ending the Klingon war will somehow involve mirror Voq.

Isn't Mirror Voq, along with his merry band, kinda crispy now?

I believe it was implied they didn't get the chance to evacuate before the Empress blew everything up.

On After Trek, one of the folks involved with the show stated that "if you don't see the bodies, you don't know for sure that they are dead."

Overall, I liked this one. It was much more serious in its take on the MU than last week, and went to some pretty dark places along the way. Discovery is tapping into the true brutality of the Terran Empire and it is well crafted (the slightly cheesy emperor appearance aside).

I liked the idea of a pseudo Federation forming against the Empire, under a Klingon instead of a human, although I'm a little unclear what Burnham got from that meeting - she thanks him for his wisdom but as far as I could see, 'the enemy of my enemy...' was all he came up with.

The stuff with Stamets was interesting, and I'm interested in what they're doing with him and mirror Stamets. It was nice to see Tilly taking the initiative to tackle a problem and showing confidence.

Bit light on Lorca - the opening implies they've been on the Shenzhou for some time, so has he been hanging out in the Agony Booth?

I'd give this one a 7.

 

[ElimGarak.93-99]

With that one scene I thought about DS9's Rock and Shoals too. We don't know for sure if it is the same place, but it's looked familiar enough. In the DS9 episode the ridge where they walked over during the prisoners exchange was higher, than we saw in this scene.

Now with the empress this closeby I really do hope that Lorca survives the mirror universe.

Can't wait to see the Emperor's ship more. Really interesting to me how just awful, garish, pointless it looks. I'm sure it's armed but it looks like a weird tourist cruise ship to me.

"The evacuation isn't complete!" =/= "Everyone died!"

Tactically, you evacuate your top brass first, unless you're the Rebel Alliance.

I think Lorca may be about to pull off an assassination.

That's gonna come in handy hundred-ish years from now when Dominion shows up...

I got the impression she was thanking him for the wisdom of not killing them after Tyler went apeshit and going along with her plan, not for "enemy of my enemy..."

He also came up with (paraphrased): "We cannot deal with others until we (the houses) are united ourselves."

I suspect that part's going to be key to Burnham's evolving understanding of the Klingons and how the war might finally be stopped.

Quick question...

The maximum yield of a standard photon torpedo has been calculated to be around 64 megatons of TNT. That's a bit more than the Tsar Bomba. In a vacuum, the blast radius is relatively small, but it seems to spread quite a bit more in an atmosphere.

"The evacuation isn't complete!" =/= "Everyone died!"

Tactically, you evacuate your top brass first, unless you're the Rebel Alliance.

Well, they are an alliance of rebels fighting an oppressive Empire that hates nonhumans and loves destroying planets.

So perfect for the MU?

When Voq said something about putting the houses in order, just before Tyler attacked, Burnham's face said she had a spark of an idea.
