BADASS!!!!!!
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I feared they weren’t going to stick the landing. Sadly my fears were justified. This episode was just a mess.
Nothing really signifies this more than the Kelpians of all races showing up in fighter craft.
Couldn’t Tyler have gone and brought the Federation fleet just as easy as he went and got the Klingons? It was cool to see Klingons actually acting like Klingons though.
Hate that they went with non-disclosure agreements...again.
It sure seemed like Cornwell knew what Pikes fate is. Sad they killed her off too.
So much to love about this season. They just fumbled the last 2-3 episodes.

Ummm...
Especially since all these creative decisions were made LAST YEAR, before any of Season 2 was even shown on TV.
Maybe they'll make a spin off where she travels back in time to mid 2000's Baltimore and solves crimes with a band of misfits cops using wires...
They can call it...
Assignment: Earth.
Up until the last 3 weeks, I thought it was ridiculous too, and made strong posts to that very point.
Now, I not only think it's possible, but that it's actually highly likely.
What changed your mind? I agree that the lines about the holographic comms and the end of the finale seem very hastily thrown in and give the impression of being there to appease perceived canon violations, but again, I think it's probably something of a stretch to blame that on viewers who've been watching and reacting to the show as it airs.
Even if Kurtzman was spurred on after reading critiques that focused heavily on continuity, when the scripts end up having disappointing aspects, it's surely down to the people writing those scripts. I'm not sure when this season was written, but given how long Mount says it took to film, it must have been more than enough time ago for the writers to come up with more in depth solutions to these questions since they chose to make answering them a priority.
I assumed it was the broken hull of one of the ships in CONTROL's Armada.
How do they instantaneously know how many dead there are? Are all crew life signs constantly monitored?
Liked when Cornwell told Pike his story wasn't over....though I am probably reading too much into that.
Leland's demise seemed too much like the end of a Terminator....just a ton of similarity there.
A lot of the sparking was just too regular and screamed 'this is just an effect'.
Gave the episode a 9, though.

Who said it was going to do that? I saw nothing from official sources.
I took it to be “uno”, as in “one” (unless her name is Una, which is why Pike calls her Number “One”, not just cause she’s first officer)
Hype from fans I meant.
The only "hype' that was said in, was the fan base theories.
NO one from the production ever indicated that.
I don't see where this indicates that she has super-smarts. Not at all. Compared to Colt, she has the superior mind, which honestly doesn't seem like a huge feat.
Her lack of emotion is a pretense, which means she puts on a professional exterior, not that she is a frigging trained Kolinharu.
Those looked like straight nacelle struts to me in the closing bit, bringing the discoprise closer to TOS. Explains the conflicting images from earlier in the year. More Eaglemoss models on the way
Deceptive angles. In the first shot of the Enterprise in drydock, you can see the nacelle struts are still swept back. I always thought one of the reason the swept-back struts were more appealing was they way you could use them to play with perspective.

I'm a bit suspicious that there was originally another reason Leland was lured into the reaction chamber that wasn't "Do the same trick Spock did a few episodes ago, that could've been done anywhere on the ship, at any time," and there may have been a last-minute change from, say, using the spore chamber to teleport him to some distant location in space and time. Perhaps the delta quadrant, a thousand or so years ago.

Exactly what DaveyNY said. I openly speculated about it tying into "Calypso" but I said the entire time I might be wrong. I don't think I'd consider that "hype".
The Keeper outright said Number One would produce "highly intelligent children" in their own right. This wasn't a comparison to Colt.
The guys who've spent the last two years screaming that Disco isn't canonical? Yes, this is the sort of thing they've been advocating. There've been people in this forum demanding that a timey-wimey paradox wipe the Disco from existence so we can return to the pristine continuity of TOS.
What changed my mind? The last 8 minutes of tonight's episode would be a place to start, I suppose. Perhaps the other factor would be that if you made an "Alex Kurtzman Mentions Canon In An Insecure And Awkward Way During An Interview" drinking game, I'd be dead right now from severe alcohol poisoning.
If Inane Fan Theory #3,457 counts as hype...sure
I could produce highly intelligent offspring, and not have an intellect compared to Spock's. I doubt it took a super-intellect to produce Albert Einstein. It doesn't work that way.
Sorry, not buying it.
Number One was trying to control the ship with a panel that was occasionally short circuiting and while also attempting to avoid the ship being destroyed...,
Having a bunch of verbal calculations being tossed at her over the comm for something she has never attempted before could be just a bit difficult to quickly set in motion.
