Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x11 - "Perpetual Infinity"

[Ar-Pharazon]

Ceiling Angel is watching you masturbate.

For me it was the famous Farrah Fawcett poster.

Giving this one a 7 as I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The time travel stuff is confusing as fuck. Has it been stated why they don't just get rid of Control in the present? It's not quite sentient yet or needs something from the Sphere Data to attain its full potential so why not just unplug it or delete it whatever? I liked all the character moments though, and I like that the red bursts aren't being done by the red angel suit. Still some mystery to be had.

They said in the last episode that they destroyed the Section 31 base and the Complex they thought contained 'Control' but they said it's not impossible that it could have copied itself/made backups - and they were continuing to search for any instances of it, etc.

They also posited it could also time travel and send copies of itself back, etc.

Would that be Burnham Burn's Hand?

I don't know, but I was saying boo-urns.

For me it was the famous Farrah Fawcett poster.

I think Farrah saw a great many things she regretted. For example, the script to "The Cookout."

 

[The Vast Loneliness]

I thought the episode was very good. Extremely tense and nerve-racking. The chess game at the end was a nice touch to bring the viewers back to a more calm state after what took place. Sad to know that both Spoke and Pike will leave at the end. They really are my favorite characters on the show. Wish they scrapped the Section 31 and Picard spinoffs and made a Pike led Enterprise series.

Spock not Spoke.

Don't forget "SATURN 3".

Where did Control get that nanotech from? It only transmitted itself into Airiam, it didn't bring anything physical back with it from the future, right?

If it is a version of 'Control' from the future that is now trying to 'evolve' or protect the 'Control' of the 23rd century, it probably has the knowledge and just needed access to certain materials and a 23rd century synthesizer/replicator.

... or one dead BORG body.

Personally, even if it was my long lost mother doing it, I'd be creeped out to learn that I was being spied on during various moments of my life.

And then others might feel deliriously happy that your long lost mom was actually watching over them as they'd always hoped, but perhaps never actually believed. One might also think that all those important times in my life when I wished my mom was present, she actually was there to witness them.

I can't think of too many other things that would give me more comfort.

Gabrielle apparently tried on many an occasion to let Michael know, but TIME stopped her

Because that makes sense.

It might...remember:

You should watch The Orville. The show has really fixed the dumb humor. It's not nearly as dumb as before. The humor is more low key and much better this season. Plus, a lot of episode this season are serious episodes.

IMO - no it hasn't. the 'dumb humor' is still there and it's often annoyingly dumb to boot. (YMMV of course.)

 

[ialfan]

This season has had some good episodes but the last two have been a mess. Not enjoying this re-imagining of section 31 or Control plot at all.

 

[gblews]

Why is Spock the "only one in the whole of time" who could understand her? He's not the only half Vulcan half human in existence I'm sure, and how complicated can it be? We understand it.

What Gabrielle told Spock was that the reason he was able to "understand" her was because in addition to being half human, he was dyslexic.

 

[cooleddie74]

I would, uh, not be averse to that as a plot development.

Don't give them any ideas...

 

[Mage]

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but did anyone else think it looked like Disco fired the torpedoes from the bussard collectors??

 

[cooleddie74]

Are the forward torpedo tubes now located on the nacelle pylons?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Um...why isn't Spock wearing a uniform? Is he on vacation? Or do all his scenes take place off duty?

He's still on leave. That he's spending his leave on Discovery is no one business but his.

Plus he hates the DISCO uniforms and wouldn't be caught dead in one.

Yeah I did think that, and decided I'd just missed some launchers on the 'wings' close to the nacelles.

It's much less than early season 1.

Why not? My ideas are cheeky and fun.
