Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x12 - "Vaulting Ambition"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Oh yeah lets add Pharmaceutical Scientist to Michael C.V.
Why? Is it so hard? Alexander got the right hypospray when the Ferengi hijacked the Enterprise ("Rascals"). It's all automated. A first officer should know what a pain dampener is for away missions.
Lorca was eating Kelpian before it was cool.
Lorca ate it. Why do you think it was on the desk next to the fortune cookies?
It's a Mirror Universe thing. "To explore new worlds... to seek out delicious new life forms and new civilizations... to boldly eat what no man has eaten before..."
He wasn't, I was wrong.
Don't ruin my headcanon! That would have been an awesome plot twist! Especially if Burnham was eating the same thing on Shenzhou -- served by Saru of all people.
Of course, I'm probably one of the only people who thought the "rat burger" scene in Demolition Man was one of the best parts of that movie.
This is the TrekBBS, you're not supposed to admit that. No, even though you were wrong, you have to defend that on all costs
He’s gonna want those weapons when he gets ‘home’ too, and he didn’t know how long it was going to take to get back.
It was also implied heavily in the third episode there were lots of black ops style science experiments on the Discovery, not just the Spore Drive. Yet we see absolutely nothing about any of them again.
The water, as far as I can tell, was just to show that seriously weird shit went down when testing the spore drive. And they were having trouble with it at that time. Whether it did that later or not, hard to say. They show the ship doing the spin-dizzy thing instead of showing melting walls.
Absolutely. They destroyed the Lorca character for shock value, the only thing the writers seem capable of writing: plot twists.
Let's have Georgiou murder her aides in a pointless, gruesome scene. Shock value.
Let's have the characters use the F word as a one-off, never to be spouted again. Shock value.
Tyler is Voq but does nowhere with it? At least we shocked the audience (had they not figured it out within weeks of Tyler's intro)
Lorca is actually from the mirror universe? Hell, who cares about the past twelve episodes of development, when we can have a big closing shot of our captain crushing someone's head with his foot.
So dumb. Never has a series jumped the shark so early, 10 episodes in must be a new record
Will Burnham and her zero personality be captain in season 2 I wonder?
The Federation starship that can jump anywhere in the blink of an eye, fine, suspend disbelief.
A Starfleet captain with a menagerie of deadly weapons and gets turned on by war? Something different, great.
Turning a Klingon into a human and fooling everyone? IDIOTIC.
Ignoring the rest of the rant, what the fuck is so shocking about the f word? everybody knows it exists
I'm talking about novels. Typically, those are not updated with versions like that. Textbooks, sure. Novels, no. Sometimes they'll make minor corrections in reprints. Very rarely will the publisher change the content. I recall one instance in a Star Trek novel (don't know the title) where Spock mind raped another character and then made her forget. Apparently that was removed in reprints. But, that's the exception that proves the rule.
Reprints of novels as a rule don't change the story content.
Nope. There was a point.
Nope. Emphasis.
Huh? That plot-line hasn't concluded yet.
See above.
Yawn.
Yawn again.
By what metric?
It was done for shock value. For tweets and social media buzz. Added absolutely nothing to the show. If they want to say fuck, then use it. Not as a one off, never to be heard from again.
Again, where is the shock value? It's a word. There's nothing shocking about it
It didn't take anything away neither
Erm, they did. That's why we have this fucking conversation
What point? What point was there to have Georgiou throw a saw slicing her aides heads. It added nothing. We get it, mirror universe people are irredeemably EVIL. It was done for shock value and nothing else.
Emphasis?? That's all you've got? Lol.
Fair enough, let's see if that moronic plot point redeems itself and becomes something good.
You think Burnham has a personality? I like her character but she's a robot. One who speaks in carefully-worded statements.
Common sense.
A word that's never been used in Star Trek before in 50 years, 13 films and five series. But hey it got a ton of social media chat, job done.
*rolls eyes*. "Use it" as in use it frequently, with confidence, more than once. As in not just a token one-off done to be a talking point on Twitter.
