Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x02 - "Under the Twin Moons"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I'm curious what double standard that is.
If they had Admiral Vance threaten to speak Burnham, I'd critique that too. Doesn't matter that Kirk did it in TOS.
Could have been good.
Cut out the boring. I'm all for it.I suppose they do meet 99 strangers until they meet 1 relative, and with only so few episodes a season, we don't see all those other, less meaningful meetings
Not sure what this is saying.
The double standard is when past Trek did it it's fine. Discovery does it and it's a problem.
Riiiiight. It just logically had to be two home worlds for main characters and the daughter of his mentor.
But it's alright in and of itself I suppose. I just hope we don't get mired down in the personal melodrama.
Exactly so.
Hardly massive. It's rather ordinary. In fact it pales in comparison to something like TWOK. Which piles a whole series of small universe connections. But personal connections help drive stories and characters. And on the whole most people can relate to them. I know pointing out these things make us seem so much more clever than the writers, but do they really?
It's the same thing whether in a ten part story or a one part story.
I'm afraid I have to repeat myself. Is this your first time watching Star Trek?
While I agree with you, I think different shows get different levels of grace. It's not all equal.
I'm not sure why you think you're more clever than Trek writers?
The Wrath of Khan example is a good one too.
It appears that you've missed where I've said that it has not detracted from my enjoyment of Discovery thus far. It was just something I noted that had me rolling my eyes a bit. Nothing wrong it that.
The episode itself was fine and, as I said in my review, a fun romp. That doesn't mean there won't be little nits here and there and I'll certainly feel free to point them out as I see them.
This was the first time I actually enjoyed Jeff Russo's episodic scores! I almost wonder if he got a bit of a kick from the producers after he wasn't asked to return for PIC S3 and the (actually warranted) warm reaction to Barton & Weidmann's work to get him to do something that wasn't just sonic wallpaper.
Did my previous answer to that question go over your head? I tried to make it simple.
So long as they are applied equally.
You know I do!
I don't, actually since I don't think you and I have discussed problems in other series other than modern Trek.
But, good to know
I'm replying in kind. Glad you caught on.
I posted an honest review where I mostly enjoyed the first two episodes, but I point out how I had to roll my eyes at the small universe syndrome overdose in the 2nd episode. And you seem rudely fixated on that for some reason.
Yeah, I've watched Trek plenty before. Yeah, I've noticed that same syndrome before. But it still stood out to me. So what?! What's your big deal with it? And what's with your fixation on how much Trek I've watched before?!
Dang I've enjoyed these opening two episodes more than I've enjoyed Discovery for awhile but that aspect gave me pause. Thanks for being that one guy/gal who has to be a dick about something. Geez.
Ok, well I thought you knew! But all cool. Yeah, we've discussed a lot and, usually, respectfully. So cheers!I don't, actually since I don't think you and I have discussed problems in other series other than modern Trek.
But, good to know
I've enjoyed Discovery so far this season. I hope it continues!
Usually rolling the eyes is not considered a positive.
