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

[Kevman7987]

Someone upthread said they want to see a "fall of the Federation" arc. That's just a rehash of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda starring Kevin Sorbo. If the writers start mining other Roddenberry shows from the 90s for ideas it means they are uncreative hacks.

Or Gene Roddenberry.

 

[Alan Roi]

Yes, it was certainly obvious that the writers were committed to it. It never made much sense why the characters were too, but they didn't let details like that bother them.

It makes perfect sense if you've watched these characters work together the past 2 years.

 

[mattman8907]

i noticed that with the hole in the saucer section of the Enterprise looks like an updated NX-01. just thought that was interesting.

 

[Arpy]

For what its worth, Kurtzman has said explicitly, more than once, that Picard will be vastly different in tone.

From DSC or TNG?

 

[Longinus]

Sure. This is not the first time when they've done completely illogical things because the plot demands it.

Unlike Seth MacFarlane from that one show, I forget its name.

Makes sense. The NX-01 update certainly looks like a result of some sort of horrific disaster. I'm really glad it never made it into canon.

 

[Noname Given]

This is probably why they've said it will follow season three of Discovery.

I have enjoyed that Yeoh gets the same "special guest star" billing for playing the camp Georgiou that Jonathan Harris got for playing the camp Dr. Smith on Lost in Space.

Or Woopie Golderg had for playing the camp TNG Bartender...

Or that Dianna Muldar had for playing the female version of Dr. leonard "Bones" McCoy.

 

[Alan Roi]

You haven't lived until you've been to a KISS concert performed in the original Klingon.

Looks like i finally stumbled on the one thing that everyone on all sides can agree about. Finally!!

 

[SolarisOne]

From DSC or TNG?

From DSC.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Finally a Klingon that looks Klingon

The gold and black combo invokes the TOS Klingon uniform. Nice.

 

[Noname Given]

Enterprise looked great and who knew photon torpedoes were so easily contained. Those matter-anti matter gamma rays aren’t what they’re cracked up to be.

Hey, if they can contain voluminous/deadly warp reactor anti-matter radiation behind an inch of clear plexi-glass... (See "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan")...

 

[Alan Roi]

Or Gene Roddenberry.

Gene Roddenberry, what a hack!

 

[Tuskin38]

There was a young woman with red hair on the bridge

She doesn't match the actress credited.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I can't remember what the dark-haired redshirt looked like. But here's Nicole Dickinson's IMDB page with a portrait: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7423288/
So which character was she?

Kor

This point is moot. Apparently, it's been confirmed that "Yeoman Colt" (Nicole Dickinson) is the blueshirt with a red spiky alien face. Whatever this means is beyond my paygrade.

 

[Noname Given]

Here ya go...

I know it's not possible, but it almost looks like Leland from that angle.

^^^
Nah - it's Picard's great great grandfather (just look at that Bald pattern...)

 

[Tuskin38]

Some good quality screen caps of the episode

Finally a Klingon that looks Klingon

He's played by the makeup artist who helped design the new Klingons too (both Seasons).

From DSC or TNG?

Both.

 

[Noname Given]

Regarding the 7th signal, Burnham created that one so Spock and others know Discovery arrived in their destination safely. But if Discovery is now 900+ years into future, how is it that the Enterprise crew can see the signal? Is the signal visible in all time frames, or travels back in time? Or did Burnham come back to 23rd century just to send the signal and then went back?

MU Phillipa Georgiou says: "Hi...What, you need a new Commander for Section 31?! I'm game...BTW do you scream?"

I wonder whatever happened to the person on Vulcan who was supposed to be taking command of Disco at the end of the first season....

He got assigned Command of the U.S.S. Intrepid instead...

They didn’t even follow up on what caused the Enterprise to shut down at the start of the season. You’d think they would want to know so it doesn’t happen again.

No, they covered that when Number One came onto the Discovery to talk to Pike. It was the $#@! Holographic Comms system that Pike had 100% removed.

 

[Lord Garth]

Right, so, I'm re-watching and even Cornwell calls Number One "Number One". I'm still looking out to hear "Una".
