Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x05 - "The Examples"

[Cap'n Calhoun]

from 1964 until 1987 the Captain of the ship was pretty much always in the landing party or away team

Yeah, it's almost like Burnham and Discovery hailed from Kirk's era instead Picard's...

Hell, from 1964 until 1987 the Captain of the ship was pretty much always in the landing party or away team. TNG Season 1 was the first time in Trek that the Captain opted to stay on the ship much of the time and let his XO do the dirty work.

True, even in Encounter at Farpoint we learn immediately that Riker is one of those types who refuses to allow the Captain to put himself in danger.

Which is something I like about DSC. Even transplanted to the late 32nd century the crew acts like they come from the more freewheeling days of the 23rd century.

Now THAT is something I do like. Burnham gets more Kirkian every day, and I like that. I just wish they would quit giving Sonequa the pep talk speeches, I mean seriously. Stop.

But later he seems okay with it.

Janeway would have said the same about Burnham and her crew as she did about Kirk's. "The whole lot of them would be booted out of Starfleet today."

Thank goodness for that, too!

 

[Amaris]

Now I'm watching Encounter at Farpoint. Some really sweet memories in it.
Also, John De Lancie was on point the moment he first showed up.

Any fan who doesn't get choked up when Admiral McCoy and Data talk and walk in the corridor is beyond hope.

That, too. Honestly, in this case I remember me and mom sitting in front of the TV together, watching it with rapt attention. I already loved Star Trek, but TNG deepened that love to where even now, 33 years later, I still love it like the day I first discovered it.

“now let’s go fly the ship right into a black hole”

Best part of Burnham. Love her command presence and speeches as necessary.

 

[cooleddie74]

I had no issue with her dressing down of the Akaali leader. I know some people here did and said she was condescending to him but it was one of the most sincere, 23rd century-sounding things she's said and I liked it.

 

[Tuskin38]

Heh, when he said he atomized a caracal, first thing I thought of was STO.

No, you can’t atomize caracals, but you can collect Risian Caracals, and he’s from Risa

A friend of mine tweeted the writer about it and they liked the tweet. That might mean it was a nod, or just being polite.

... The administrator on the bridge...
He has access to just waltz onto the bridge? Huh..
My response would have been more trite.. Get the ÷=%÷ off my bridge..

i agree. If anything she was doing him a favor by giving him a reality check. Dude better get off his high horse quick or he’s in for a real rude awakening

 

[Tuskin38]

I'm sure more clever people have already figured this out, but I'm guessing one of the reasons they destroyed kwejian was probably so they didn't have planet full of people that could use the spore drive naturally.

Yes

 

[Nerys Myk]

No problem for me. My Roku TV picked it up just fine.
