Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"

[Mirror Mirror]

It's got to be, They set up that scenario with "CALYPSO".

No, the Federation was the guys enemy in that short.

 

[fireproof78]

You’d think they would give a explanation considering the fuss they made all over them this season.

Any explanation would have been decried as weak. So, why not leave the mystery.

 

[JTL]

That Spock troll: “Let’s see what the future holds.”

A nod to fan requests?

God, I hope so.

It's not really about the specific number of years. It's about the ability to set up a new galactic arrangement of powers and what not. It allows for freedom to tell stories and not be hemmed in by canon issues. Before the premise behind Discovery was announced, I thought they were going with post Nemesis series for these reasons. This is effectively the same thing. I was surprised Discovery was going to be a prequel, although if I had to set it at some pre-Nemesis time, they did what I would've done.

I think it's a good thing. Now they can do whatever they want to story wise. Eliminates most of the canon baggage.

I like canon baggage.
It get's me where I wanna go with Trek with all my memories packed safely away for the trip.

I was hoping for a Yesterday's Enterprise scenario where their actions cause the timeline to correct itself to the Prime timeline. Would have made the entire season worth it.

 

[DaveyNY]

No, the Federation was the guys enemy in that short.

Exactly

It's not a mystery if they can do it. I would just like one piece of dialogue to explain them.

 

[Jadeb]

On the positive side, the Enterprise bridge -- and the science station in particular -- looked great at the end. Glad Spock's scope and whirly screen were there.

It also looked like they may have toned down the tacky saucer lights.

 

[DEWLine]

Her actual, legal name is "Number One"?

 

[fireproof78]

It's not a mystery if they can do it. I would just like one piece of dialogue to explain them.

And we might get it. Just not right away.

And that's fine by me. Not everything needs an explanation.

 

[Lord Garth]

Not everything needs an explanation.

Or right away. Instant Gratification needs to be done away with.

 

[fireproof78]

Or right away. Instant Gratification needs to be done away with.

Indeed. I am rather fatigued by the insistence of one season wrap-ups of intriguing concepts.

 

[thribs]

And we might get it. Just not right away.

And that's fine by me. Not everything needs an explanation.

They're going to continue this god awful story into season 3? I hope not.

 

[Mr Awe]

Well, that's why when I said I would have picked the same prequel timeframe that they did--because I love the TOS era. So, yeah! Hopefully we get a Pike series then

But, I'm also all for moving forward into new settings and new story possibilities.

Hopefully we can have our cake and eat it too with Discovery in the future and Pike in the 23rd century.

 

[Lord Garth]

They're going to continue this god awful story into season 3? I hope not.

In fairness, you'd probably think anything else they'd come up with would be awful too, so why not?

 

[fireproof78]

They're going to continue this god awful story into season 3? I hope not.

Yes, how dare stories have consequences...

 

[plynch]

Wha t a weird ending. I thought when I went online CBS would have announced, and all of Mount 's earlier comments would have been smokescreen to cover for a new series in the works. Or that DSC was shifting gears to be about the big E. To not have any reference or cliffhanger scen e with DSC in its future setting? Weird.

The battle scene s were too visually messy. Did like the blue solid phaser beams instead of pew pews.

Weird ending if DSC's crew is really the main crew of this series!

 

[Lord Garth]

Her actual, legal name is "Number One"?

I think that's a question a Pike Series should say something about.

 

[GNDN18]

The manual control was specifically labeled something about only people of a certain rank or command level being able to operate it.

Thanks for that information. The grim looks between Cornwall, Pike, and Number One make sense now.

 

[Xerxus]

I liked the finale overall, but the urgency shown in the first act with putting together the suit is ridiculous considering they spent half the episode last week saying goodbye.

And if Tyler could get help, why didn't Sarek pull the Federation fleet?

I suspect someone really love spacewalks, because Burnham should have just been in the and got off at the asteroid.

I would just like a season where the same Executive Producer starts and ends the season, because it feels pretty obvious to be that there was a clear shift in story.

Like how did Burnham manage to disable the Ba'ul ship all by herself? (They conveniently glossed over that.)

It's very sloppy but I'm looking forward to a clean slate Season 3.
