Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x08 - "If Memory Serves"

[Tuskin38]

I believe I spotted Lieutenant Nilsson, aka the first Airiam actress Sara Mitich, in this episode. If that was her that I spotted, she even had dialogue.

Yes that was her, she was also in Episode 1.

During the briefing with the Admirals, they talked about Control's Threat Analysis algorithms or something, and afterwards Georgiou says that in her universe AI serves humans, not the other way around.

Ok. That scene was pretty quick. Might have to go back and rewatch that part.

 

[PixelMagic]

I'm betting Control is indeed an A.I. and that A.I. is now inside of Airiam. She used Tyler's command codes to send the transmissions. You will also notice in the previous episode, the scene transition is from her eye red dots to the circle in the ceiling of the Section 31 bridge.

Control from the future?

 

[Q2UnME]

Still kind of processing this one ( and watching it again). There are a bunch of things to love, some annoying bits though. I’m gonna vote 8 for now.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Control from the future?

Presumably so. Yes.

Those three red dots that appeared in her terminal last week was an obvious nod to Brainiac -- a sort of nerd lingo shorthand

 

[IMC Headquarters]

This episode is a beautiful love letter to Star Trek's past.

This episode is a beautiful love letter to Star Trek's past.

A late Valentine?

 

[fireproof78]

A late Valentine?

I'm still hesitant to use that term regarding Star Trek.

Posting this here, from another thread, for relevance:

I wonder if the ‘bad’ upgraded probe was sent back from a future AI set on destroying earth, vs the Red Angel... whoever / whatever that is...

 

[Lord Garth]

Well, what Burnham did to Spock was terrible. I see her distorted rationale but I won't look at the character the same way ever again.

But despite having said that...

A late Valentine?

This Valentine kicks the shit out of the other one.

That was one of the first scenes in the episode, way before I decided to turn subtitles on. That's why I missed it.

 

[Q2UnME]

A late Valentine?

A Valentine... to the.... fans ....

TOO Soon!

 

[CorporalClegg]

I'm still hesitant to use that term regarding Star Trek.

I know. That sort of the joke.

 

[fireproof78]

I know. That sort of the joke.

TOO SOON!

 

[PixelMagic]

Control from the future?

That is my guess. A 500 year old evolved A.I. backward compatible with Federation computer tech, therefore was able to enter the probe and Airiam.

Next Time On trailer

Spoiler

They go to S31’s HQ, the power is out, everyone on-board is dead, Airiam starts attacking the away team

 

[Titus Andronicus]

I'm really at a loss for words--in a good way. So much to digest from this episode, and as usual I cannot wait for next week.

 

[plynch]

I was clapping and yelling "Sing.Ing.Plants!"

I had originally wanted DSC to be its own thing. I have embraced the prequelness. This was really well done! So much real human relatio ns. Very Theodore Sturgeony. My first 10 of the series. Ima pretend S1 was a holosuite program.
(My kindl e changed that to "holoshite"! Out of the mouths of baby AI's...

 

[Lord Garth]

Just finished the episode and the rating I gave it after the first commercial break stands. I still think it's an 11.

"Lethe", you've been retired as my favorite episode.

So far, I think it's better than Calypso.

I happily concede to your point.
