Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x04 - "Forget Me Not"

Or those Picard Era uniforms make the Maroons look like a flash in the pan.
Nah, that rule existed only for one episode!
The relationship between Head Gray and Adira has the potential to be tense, perhaps creepy, though still interesting. In this episode, yes, it's beautiful that Adira could incorporate the Tal symbiont and preserve the memories of Gray. On the other hand, how does one live when another personality inside one's mind cannot be shut off? Is it fair to someone who wants to fall in love (or lust, for that matter)? Jadzia could largely keep the past hosts in check (save for Joran, whose memories were suppressed). On the other hand, Ezri, who did not come through the Trill initiate program, struggled to differentiate her own impulses from those of her hosts. She was obviously haunted by Jadia's relationship with Worf. That said, Ezri did not seem to have experienced involuntary reappearances of those hosts. I'm not sure that the Head Gray story is going to be all that simple, and yet may find other ways of being tragic.
This is probably just a me thing, but now whenever I read "Adira", my mind's ear hears it in Peter Jurasik/Londo.
random thoughts: I like the current period uniforms, at least so far, and better than the Disco uniforms. I was hoping they'd switch to Pike's crew's uniforms last season. Now I am hoping they'll switch by the end of this one.
Adira is a fascinating character, and extremely well written and acted by Blu del Barrio.
Ian Alexander was very good in the OA. I was worried they were going to kill him off after one episode. Glad he will be staying on on some form. That's 2 transplants from the OA. Keep them coming.
It's becoming harder to pick favorite characters on this show.
Somehow the old black and white movie in the shuttle bay gave me more of a "Serious-ish" episode of MASH feel than Star Trek, and that is by no means a bad thing.

Seems like things behind the camera are finally not chaotic. There really needs to be a book about season one. i think there was more drama going on offscreen than on.

Interesting op-ed on the killing of Gray.
Also, anyone else notice that the sphere device they put in the pool had the Trill emblem on it?

Adira really reminded me of Ezri Dax with the way she looked.
Buster Keaton not being funny -
I find for myself that the older a film is, the more difficult it is to watch. I was watching "Mr. Roberts", from the 1950s, recently and had to end the film early. The sexism in the film was too much, it felt oppressive. Many films from before my time feel like relics with outdated values and are painfully slow.
Chaos behind the scenes -
Season 2 had a change mid-season which was reflected in the story arc. The first half had a different feel from the second half.

It was scripted. Culber screwed it up on purpose to let people about screwing up as well
which is not at all a regular away mission and came very late in the show.
Right, everybody loved it...
I don't know what you mean - picture?
The actor who played Guardian Xi, Andreas Apergis, voiced Francis Pritchard in 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution'. I thought his voice was familiar.
The looks on their faces tell me other wise.
Which may be something people are doing offscreen or during montage sequences (like the one in this very episode).
They have to tag every item in the future, because, you see, centuries from now, most people will become what we call "kleptomaniacs". They shoplift just for the thrill of it, not to mention workplace purloining.
It’s a rampant, albeit offscreen issue. Replicators can’t keep up with the loss! That’s why Starfleet litter their logos, emblems, seals, insignias and coats-of-arm everywhere: tricorders, hyposprays, pads, T-shirts, ceiling tiles, spoons, brooms, and so on.
Trekcore has similar concerns:

Still stupid.
How often does an important character in Trek stay dead? Hell, I still think we'll run into some version of Lorca this season.
