My favorite Disco episode. Slowly, gradually this show is starting to trust its viewers, rather then rely on eye candy, mustache twirlers, eminent universe destruction, and kung fu. The dinner party was a bit much, but I appreciate what they tried to do, and the A plot was terrific.

That was just him having a really bad cold. It was all in English, only, real quiet, you know.

Why would you not want her to look like thatI hope Zora in an android body won't be looking like this. The similarities would be so eerily similar

Right, this is actually what I was trying to say in response to the notion that they needed to show some incremental development of Georgiou’s transition to compassionate human being in order to make it believable. We already know she feels can compassion, so not too hard to see that compassion expand to cover this crew with whom she has cast her lot.
I that that is what we are starting to see and it doesn’t require any extensive exposition which is what was suggested by another poster.

Just watched it a second time. In a more awake state. Everything I said when I was half-asleep stands. I still think this is the best episode of the season so far. If they'd found a way to work Book into it, it would've been perfect. Maybe next time.
Saru had is first interaction with Zora this episode. I think more of the crew will interact with Zora over the next few episodes. I picture Reno and Zora not getting along.
I don't know what Gray Tal can really do. Sure, give Adira emotional support, but as far as making things happen while being dead, I don't know. But no doubt Adira will be drawing from Senna Tal's experience and wisdom a lot. Senna Tal will be like the Curzon Dax of this series, who has all the Starfleet inside experience and has been an Admiral. That's something they'll be able to bring to the table and help Saru with.

This may be the best episode since "New Eden."
Sphere Data and Rommie
The Sphere Data as it appears in Forget Me Not vs. Rommie as she develops up to All Great Neptune's Ocean.
There isn't much to compare. The Sphere Data and Rommie have different personalities. Rommie is also developed further over the ten episodes.
(And as noted above, the Sphere Data hasn't got a holographic representation nor an android body.)

I think your are reading a bit too much into a joke there lad
The weekly episode reaction summary! Episode 03x04: Forget Me Not
The viewer ratings were down this week, surprising considering we had such a notable episode. TVTime viewers gave it a 9.2/10, the lowest for an episode since season 1 on the platform. IMDB viewers gave it a mediocre 6.5/10, the lowest since early season 2. TraktTV viewers gave it a solid 76%, but lowest of this season so far.
Critic reviews were again not updated on aggregator sites, the episode had one review on RT, so technically a 100% score. The season holds steady with a remarkable 93/100. Metacritic holds at 75%.
Metrics continue to impress.
The series jumps a notch last week to #5 on Parrot Analytics. In the 30 day avg it is now at a rare 36.6x the popularity of the avg show, we'll above the 32x needed to fall into the top .2% of all shows.
The latest episode has beaten last week's top 10 on Netflix mark, staying on the list at least 4 straight days and topping off at #2, the best yet. It hit the top 10 in over 50 countries!
In addition to all this, ViacomCBS released an earnings report and star trek in general has increased their revenue 72% year-over-year, and reached its 18 million subscriber goal early by one quarter. CBSAA (soon Paramount+) now has 9 million subscribers. When Discovery was announced, it had 1.5 million.
That's it for this week!

Jeysus 9.2 being the lowest is surely ridiculously high even by diehard DIS fan standards
The site is a general viewing app/site. It's not just Trekkies. It generally has the highest sample size by far over RT or IMDB... For example, the pilot episode of DSC had about 2000 votes but on TVTime it had over 13,000. Even now that number is more than the combined total of RT and IMDB. So quite a large sample size.
My take is that these fan votes are generally too low on imdb (it's well known enough to get down votes, ie: people who go on it to cast protest votes) and the TVTime votes are higher than my votes. I personally usually fall in between, but I just report the end results.
RAMA

not bad for a supposedly failing show whose sets have been destroyed already and showrunner been fired several times!
I read reviews that complained it's full of stupid clichés and turned Disco into a soap opera with bad hyperemotional acting. 
Fandom is just as divided and polarized as voters are.

Joran was able to walk around and look the killer in the eye to figure out if it's him XD

The dinner scene and subsequent make-up hugs were not credible. I can see why people objected. But overall, that section was small potatoes, so to speak, when compared with the beautifully told Adira/Gray story. And Burnham was excellent in that, too. It's really nice to see Michael neither in a shell (as with much of Season 1) or hyperventilating (Season 2). She has become breakout interesting in Season 3.
Such an awful episode. I love Ezri but anything with her and the Trill is terrible and she herself is also more proof that the Trill are talking out their arse about the initiate program
I'd be the other way around I found the Gray story to be very cheesy and unimaginative but this is the first crew I really liked since DS9 so I loved seeing them unshackled from the A plots and given some time.
Saru just fobbing off Zora as being a friendly glitch was disappointing as its the first time Star Trek's ability to write advanced space people as dumbasses infected him
That probably explains why I like it more now.
Why? It showed how difficult it is if you didn't go through the program.
