Well, that certainly was a lot of Pew! Pew!
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x14 - "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Even better, he starts the entire battle with sending out nothing but the fighters, hoping to goad the Cardassians into breaking formation. Alright, they're not Star Wars level swarms, but there are a few shots with dozens of fighters flying around firing on the Galors.
He honestly should have said: "Engage!" (Yes, I know i's become a 'Picard' catch phrase; but it IS from TOS and was what Jeffery Hunter's "Pike" said when going to Warp. They could have done it here at the very end (IMO)).I'm disappointed Pike's final command wasn't, "Giddyap!".
One other thing (that also has probably been discussed to death in this thread already): last episode we got a scene where a core of about a dozen crewmembers agreed to sacrifice everything they knew and strand themselves in the future with Michael. And yet in this episode the Discovery looked like an almost fully crewed ship. The sickbay scene made it look super full of people.
Did a bunch of redshirts just get shanghai'ed into the future? Or was the ship far more empty at the end than it seemed? I was briefly envisioning a skeleton-crewed ship trying to keep things operating by the skin of their teeth in season 3, but now I'm thinking we'll see tons of extras standing around hallways looking at walls.
Has this been cleared up one way or the other?

Obviously they were also speaking for the rest of the crew. I take this as an example of showing instead of telling, or trying to fit the entire crew in a tiny corridor intersection.
It was kind of glaring though. I thought they were going to be a skelton crew and suddenly the place has extras running all over. The point was that the ones who agreed to stay new Burnham and wouldn't let her go alone. If they want a full ship taking off thats fine but they really need to tighten up their continuity on stuff like that.
Sure. But then there are those who know those who know Burnham who have also been together the last couple years as well in the crew. I wasn't bothered by it not being made explicit with the absolute number of crew who were staying.
White Pajamas McDingus on front row would probably just like a nice jacket or podium to stand behind before he goes.
Show of hands who want's to go?
Star Trek Discovery..a show where the final moments of its season finale belong to Enterprise and its characters. A show where the most interesting character is a recurring one (Pike).
That says everything about the Series.
At the end, Disco so far has been a vessel for fan service and Star Trek Nostalgia based on old established characters. Which wouldn't be bad if the stories were good and there was less style and more substance.
But Disco's characters never got the development they probably deserved, the important thing in the series were the good old Star Trek elements/easter eggs.
Personally I prefer it that they went (?) to the future (as long as they lost Michael on their way there).
I suspect it will be quite the challenge for these mediocre writers to manage to write a story without the fan gimmicks and all the story loans from TOS history.
For me this is a deja-vu for Disco, after another season of mediocre to bad TV, I hope next season will be good. Being finally disconnected from the TOS era, the show might start to be good.
As long as they get rid of the most annoying ST character ever: Michael Burnhum you have failed this franchise.
p.s. I really like Pike, it was the only reason I kept watching this season. I hope there is a chance for a spin off, and the actor is great and Enterprise is fine, hell even their Spock is good. Just make it so

I never noticed shy and sad Vulcan in the front row before.

Baldy guy (right) with attitude at the front : "Fuck you, I'm going nowhere man"
I figure that Culber got there, Reno's chat with him played on his mind and he realised he couldn't stay.
It was very quickly addressed, but makes sense to me.
A few more random thoughts
People keep mentioning the Borg and I'm glad they never got a mention or appearance but I will say and have said before I thought the tech Control was using might have been Borg in origin since Section 31 must have samples from the time Archer encountered them. If they're not directly Borg they were reverse engineered from those samples. That's always been my take on that.
The smart thing to do was incinerate the remains of Leland so as to not have the nanites reactivate. The chances of that are slim but there's always that possibility.
You know with the pre TOS shows like Enterprise and now Discovery I've come to the conclusion that the Star Trek universe is big enough for new stories. I don't hold to the notion that canon is sacred because there's room for a hell of a lot of new stories both before TOS and inside TOS to be told that were never told before. So I don't know why people get so hung up when a new show comes out. I think there's plenty of room in Trek for shows like Discovery and if they do do the future thing next season then that's great and I'm all for that too.

Because their going breaks the temporal loop that created him
I really wish they did a book with all the different EP’s and writers’ visions of what the show was going to be like. So many turn-overs on this show...I wonder what the visions were and if they matched with what my long term predictions were catching stuff I thought was significant earlier on.
You. I like you. You get it.
