Quite honestly, if you took out all the Trekkian content, Star Trek Discovery never would have been made. After Fuller was fired and his original plan blew up CBS would have just folded up shop and eaten the money he blew in pre-production. The only thing that kept the show going was CBS's desire to revive the Star Trek franchise.
you think i take something seriously 'quite honestly' from a guy with dukat's face?

... they never should have made him bajorian
 
That space show with the guy with the pointed ears will never take off. It looks ridiculous.

Now let's watch that awesome new show where Jerry Van Dyke's mother is reincarnated as an automobile! That's real television!

obviously as a german i don't understand the second part of that statement - who's jerry van dyke?
 
Enjoyed this episode. It had really good pace.
It would be fun to binge watch this season but if you know all the answers to the mysteries it's not going to be an entertaining rewatch. The red angel is not responsible for the red bursts. Really milking this plot since episode 1.

Lesser known brother of Dick Van Dyke, the latter being a major figure in mid-twentieth century TV entertainment, with occasional roles in film (most notably Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang—two major Disney non-animated films in the sixties).

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was not a Disney film, although its songs were by the Sherman brothers, who also wrote the Mary Poppins songs. The "mother reincarnated as an automobile" was the subject of the mid-1960s Jerry van Dyke series My Mother, the Car. It didn't last too long.

Jerry was also very funny as the Dick van Dyke character's brother Stacy (who was a brilliant entertainer while sleepwalking but a totally inept one while awake) on several episodes of The Dick van Dyke Show.

Jerry was also known for being on the 90s show Coach with Craig T. Nelson.

I have some questions. If the show is supposed to take place in 1965-66 when it was filmed, and the main character is the sameish age as the actor, how does the chronology work? If Crabtree is 35ish in 1965, how can his mother be reincarnated as a car built in 1928, which is before he was even born? I mean I am perfectly willing to accept people reincarnating as cars, but you cannot reincarnate as someone or something that was 'born' before you even died! That is just simple logic! Damn, and I thought Discovery didn't make sense!

the MOTHER was reincarnated into a car. The car had no person inhabiting it before she died and zipped in.

So that's really not reincarnation. Reincarnation happens at birth, so in a case of a car, that would be when it was built. It is more like the mother possessing the car.
 
Everyone knows Dick Van Dyke. I hadn't heard of Jerry before this though.
He's probably most known to people today as "Luther" in the 1990s American TV series Coach with Craig T. Nelson. More recently (a few years ago) he had a few guest appearances in the TV show The Middle as Frankie's father.

Jerry actually played Rob Petrie's (Dick Van Dyke's) TV brother in several episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show. He passed away last year.
