Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x12 - "Vaulting Ambition"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I give it a 9 solely for the fact that it was a short episode. With that said, I felt it was a very good episode with some very big shocks (like eating Mirror Saru and Lorca/Mirror Burnham being an item). Yes, some people predicted Lorca was Mirror Lorca, but a lot of others said he wasn’t. So even if he was the Prime Lorca people would be saying that the show is predictable. I personally would rather have twists that make sense and are subtly teased in previous episodes rather than out of nowhere twists that make no sense. The reveal of Mirror Lorca was awesome
It's worse than I thought
I also think that if every episode was released at once, like Netflix shows, not that many people would be predicting these twists. It’s because we have the benefit of a week in between to spot these clues
You mean it's awesome.
Alright, then name producers that haven't.
It's the internet. You have tens of people per show attempting to create, in a SIMPSONS DID IT world of media where it's all been done before somewhere, versus hundreds (if not more) of fuckin' nerds on the internet dissecting it, analyzing it, and taking wild flailing stabs at predicting it.
Nah everyone said it was mirror Lorca.
It's never said they don't.
Really? Because a lot of people predicted Jon Snow was a Targaryen from the beginning. Wouldn’t surprise me if Tyrion was one as well
I give it a 9. I have no problem that Lorca's from the Mirror Universe. I enjoy the show independent of online speculation. More thoughts later, but the episode hit all the right notes. At least for me.
It's too short but, when I rewatch in the future, it'll be with other episodes anyway, so it doesn't matter.

That is the catch I see with this direction. Michael being captain is going to require some finagling that will make the people that ranted about Kelvin!Kirk go ballistic, and Saru's learning but he doesn't have what it takes yet.
where does the BS idea come from that agonizers don't leave marks?
Again, you're making excuses for these hacks repeatedly bungling their reveals.
Sorkin, Kelly, Whedon are three writers who come quickly to mind who are able to take something in exactly the direction the audience doesn't expect. It's not the preposterously challenging thing you're pretending - just takes a talented writer and a little discipline from the producers.
Maybe they just underestimate their viewers. Many things about the show suggest as much.
