Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x01 - "Brother"

[MakeshiftPython]

Needs more gazelle.

Ha! It’s funny how so many Trek fans forgot or never saw just how loathed ENTERPRISE was in its time. Just mentioning “Berman & Braga” brought out so much fury. Even Braga got shit from some fans for NEMESIS, which he had nothing to do with!

Ya know, just like with Star Wars, I get the perspective of some to have an unbridled devotion to what's come before, but as I get older, I just care less about such things. I used to care. But today, I watch things for one purpose: to be entertained. It's not a perfect show BY ANY STRETCH, but I enjoy Disco and am entertained. I just don't particularly care that in Episode 88 of TNG, Geordi used the flux coupler doohicky in order to uncouple the transparent aluminum warp dilithium matrix whatchamacallit and Stamets and Tilly TOTALLY went a different way with it, and it screws with established canon. I'm about to turn 40, am married, am about to have my first kid and am getting my masters. I may pop in here to read and comment on occasion, but, in my opinion, I really have more important things to do than worry about all of that. But hey, to each his own, I suppose.

Bang.

This is way too sensible. CBS must have paid you.

Double bang.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Bang.



Double bang.

Wait. Are you Ned Ryerson?

 

[DaveyNY]

Wait. Are you Ned Ryerson?

<STANDS UP>

"NO, I'm Ned Ryerson."

 

[CorporalClegg]

I think we're all a little Ned Ryerson, but whatever.

Braga also gets shit for stuff that happened before he even started working on TNG.

Oh man, I kind of forgot that for a few brief years fandom started shitting on his TNG work they originally praised him for. "He was terrible all along!" Creative types can't possibly have the capacity to put out both very good and very terrible work, it's only one or the other! At least Braga was able to acknowledge when he put out subpar work. I recall he said he Ron Moore wanted to do a commentary on "Aquiel" for blu-ray but I don't think CBS would wanna spend money on that.

I thought I saw an alien in Reno's 'med bay' that had a similar face as a Kelpien.

I need to rewatch it.

Edit:
Ah no,

 

[CorporalClegg]

Look like a Narn without spots.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Berman and Braga had faith in their vision. Faith of the heart.



I'll go now.

You're on report, Mister. A notation will be made in your permanent record.

This is working, for me.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

I laughed out loud the first time I saw the ENT opening credits. Now it brings warm feelings. It's crazy.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I laughed out loud my first time.

Because I couldn't believe Star Trek would ever something so AWESOME!

Thanks!. Now I like to see the ENT opening credits with the Discovery theme.

Discovery got some personality in the offseason, and what a difference that makes. This episode was great. In fact, if they had started the series with this episode, I would have been really really excited.

Had the same thought.

I’ve just finished the Burning Dreams novel and there is a interesting element there that since the Talos incident, Pike deep down, thinks that everything that happened since then has been a hallucination and that he never escaped the planet. Makes me wonder if that fortune cookie spooked him more than we thought.

I guess that explains why everything looks different!
