Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x03 - "Choose to Live"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

Disney can't do anything unless they call them lightsabers since "energy sword" is too generic to copyright.
Tell that to Leverage.
Fact is, both sides showing competence provides more story telling opportunities then just hand-waving everyone being an idiot. Because yes, that's basically what you're claiming here, that everyone in Starfleet is an idiot.
What's leverage and why should I care in my Star Trek, were security is plot driven?
A show with a much higher rating and much much better writing then Star Trek Discovery.
Ah, I knew I wasn't interested.
So none of the other Trek shows are well written?
Never seen it. Sounds like a caper thing.
DS9 was very well written, TNG was up and down, TOS was up and down, ENT was up and down, Lower Decks is well written, Prodigy is well written.
There's a reason pretty much everyone thinks Discovery is the worst written Star Trek series ever.
It's mostly just you.
Not everyone. Enterprise and Voyager earned that for me.
The polls on this site and others say otherwise.
I was referring to the lack of security responses you keep pointing out. Most of the other series did the same thing.
Of course. “Pretty much everyone” thinks it’s so horribly written that there was an uproar over it not being available internationally. It’s because “everyone” hates it so much.
Funny enough, apparently saying highly rated and well written are supposed selling points without telling you a damn thing about the show.
Like last week, I gave this episode an 8, but it's a strong 8. Almost a 9, but a few fumbels lowered it. I liked the slower and more personal pace with all of the three plots of this, and they were all executed well too. David Ajala really deserves all the praise he gets, he nails it in here.
I also enjoyed the main plot Qowat Milat parallels with Picard. Choose to Live is also a very fitting name for this episode, as it fits many situations. I also loved how they finally had a digital darts at lounge. I almost expected Quark to appear with drinks from behind the counter for a while.

Very much agreed. I love how the episode title works as a title for pretty much every side storyline this episode.
Well there was a Ferengi behind the counter.
So far, this season seems to be the most character driven yet, and I am so here for it.
The gravity anomaly appears to be a plot devise that is in completely service of the characters. All of the main crew are going through some stuff and they are all getting attention. Culber and Stammets might be the exceptions, so far, but both got lion shares of development in season 2 and 3.
Burnham, it appears, will be butting heads with the Fed political structure while attending to her duties as captain and trying to help Book. Sonia Sohn could not have been a better choice for her mother.
I agree with those who said they liked the idea of a complex villain who had a virtuous cause. Very trekkish. Also glad to see the crew dealing with some less than universe destroying issues.
Glad Saru is back. Stammets and Book together was deliciously awkward and ended up, somewhat predictably, bonding.
I thought they might leave Gray as a ghostly companion for Adira, but they’re now being corporeal opens some interesting possibilities.
I think that the emphasis on character is exactly what the show needs. We’ve pretty much seen all the Trek plots, so we can now revel in the characters’ responses.

Quark's descendent. Also named "Quark".
The polls on this site with a little over a hundred people?
A site with a good number of people who will vote a 9 or 10 on anything with "Star Trek" in it's name?
