Yeah, I was thinking "that can't be her real voice." It was so jarring that I had to YouTube clips of her to make sure. It's definitely exaggerated and if that is a director's choice, it's a really bad one because that is one of the most annoying voices for a character I've heard in a very long time. An entire season of that? Yikes.

Have you never seen her work? I loved her......but I've been a fan since Taxi....like 78-79ish.

I think I've seen her in the Princess Bride but that's it. But from what I saw on YouTube, her real voice is close to that. But this is definitely exaggerated. I kind of wish that she just used her normal voice that she uses in interviews. It's still unique but not as grating.

That girl needs to get her eyes checked. That looked nothing like a Crossfield Class

It stands to reason that both the Discovery and the Glenn were heavily modified for the Spore Drive experiments.

Indeed, we now have a good idea of what those modifications entailed. Namely the addition of a triangular secondary hull and the replacement of the Warp Nacelles.

I just got the impression those ships were built from the ground up for the spore drive experiments. I don’t think they said they were modified from existing ship designs.

Well, it seems we now know it to be the case.

Alternately, the original Crossfield class has been entirely stricken from the record — since the only two ships of the class were both involved in the now officially suppressed spore drive project — and Starfleet has added an extra layer of burial to the whole thing by naming a new class the Crossfield class.
 
Still doesn’t explain why the ship has negative space. There was a reason Discovery had it.

I like this series, I love the cast and the characters, but honestly, with every episode it seems to make something in TOS more jarring and/or implausible. Why? Why do violence to basic characters and story lines which have been foundational for decades, when there is so much new ground that could be covered?

Every episode shows something we didn’t previously know about TOS. That’s all. Every single example that people have pulled out of SNW, DSC or ENT as “doing violence to what’s established” — for many years now — has struck me as “What the hell do you mean there used to be an Ottoman Empire? I watched every single episode of Law & Order and nobody ever mentioned it; there’s no such thing!”
 
(Carol Kane) Is she doing that? I just figured age, cigarette abuse, or maybe just genuinely needing a lozenge when filming the episode made her voice rougher.

I haven't seen any recent interviews with her, so I don't know. But if she's doing that, please tell me she stops or just works on it to something better.

I did like her, though, I was afraid her... "style" would clash with the show but she worked out nicely. And, she's not human!
 
good start and pelia is fun i like her i wonder if her species is new or lifted from the ''novelverse''. i give it a 8
 
I was wondering if they’d use any Discovery sets while that show wasn’t filming, I got my answer here (and next week’s episode reuses another DSC set)

It was never stated on screen that there were only two of her class.

Please be Yeoman Colt.

So Dr. M'Benga keeps giving us reasons why he gets demoted in the future. He always keeps some kind of steroid around now too huh?

I wonder if Klingons killed M'Benga's wife. Also wonder if his hatred of them is going to go anywhere, considering in TOS he's in the 'A Private Little War' episode featuring Klingons and no grudge against them is mentioned.

Admittedly my knowledge that M'Benga and Chapel are alive and well in TOS killed any tension for me in their scenes.

It seems they are trying to adhere to Menagerie's line of Spock never disobeying Pike's orders before (despite it being broken in Discovery) by having Spock disobey April's orders instead of Pike's.

I'm still not clear why they didn't just make Pelia an El-Aurian instead of whatever her new species was called, who seem to be just like El-Aurians from the way they're described.

I don’t think it’s her, from the promo they showed on the Ready Room.
 
This was alot of fun but still pretty serious. I like our new Engineer and it was good to see the more traditional look of the Klingons. The tie up of some loose ends from last season while still being a pretty self-contained episode is a breath of fresh air. I'm growing tired of the season long novels.
