Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x04 - "An Obol for Charon"

[Cyrus]

I believe Alan McElroy and Vaun Wilmott (who co-wrote the "New Eden" episode) were added due to previous religious related writing they had done.

In one interview Kurtzman was asked about new writers on the staff and he seem very high on Michelle Paradise. She is listed (on IMDB) as co-writer (along with Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet) for the last 2 episodes of he season. So the season finale may be a two parter. When they increased from 13 to 14 episode it may have been to expand the season finale.

7:30pm EST as of this typing. The torturous 50-minute wait...

When they increased from 13 to 14 episode it may have been to expand the season finale.

I agree. I think this is probably most likely. Given the choice between cutting it all the way down and breaking it in half, I prefer them breaking it in half.

Una McCormick might take issue with that name being called stupid.

I should clarify...the reasoning for calling her Una in the novels was ridiculously stupid in my opinion.

Michelle Paradise also writes episode 9 I believe

Number One is still only known as Number One.

 

[Lord Garth]

It's up!

 

[CorporalClegg]

Pike's joke was a nod to Geordi, right?

 

[The Habs Fan]

I think it’s safe to say after the first 18 minutes... so far so awesome

 

[CorporalClegg]

I think this might be an instant classic.

I'm sitting here asking myself, why - in 50+ years - has no one ever thought to do this?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Oh and "I can fix that analogy with duct tape too."

I love Tig so much.

Interesting malfunction with the Universal Translator!

Stamets and Reno get along about as well as me and some other people.

Tilly's hair looks straight out of 1988 when it's frizzed out.

Bowie!!!!!

Enterprise should never have those stupid holographic comms to start off with.

Nope

 

[thribs]

My god, it’s Apokolips.

 

[Tuskin38]

This is a very TNG story.

 

[Spider]

meh........

 

[Tuskin38]

Linus can speak.

 

[thribs]

Of course a gay and a lesbian would hate each other.

I feel like they're poking fans over the whole Klingon subtitles thing.

Enterprise should never have those stupid holographic comms to start off with.

Worst moment of the episode when they brought that up. It's franchise management, not storytelling. I'd rather they just say "this is what TOS looks like now, deal with it."
