Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x08 - "Labyrinths"

[Guy Gardener]

If Moll was preggers, getting thousands of Breen to support her act of regicide and piracy would be at all believable... But that wouldn't be a match with the shows agenda.

Honestly, no matter how much they love each other, I doubt they were officially married under Breen law and there is no way they could prove that they were half assedly common law married by nature, on a hill somewhere, professing their determination to the wind.

Royal blood lines require notarized paperwork.

I'm a little surprised the Breen just accepted Moll's authority so easily but I guess if they didn't it wouldn't further the plot and the search for the Progenitors' technology.

The archivist should have had a fu-manchu too.

I don't think we've ever seen female facial hair in a Trek species, have we?

You keep what you kill.

The lower left officer has always been one of my favorites.

The beam that put Burnham in The dreamscape was the same kind that hit Picard on Inner Light

Talk about being put into a "Mental Cage"

Another episode I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm surprised some found it boring. I'm liking that we are getting more well thought out episodes instead of the more hectic and fast paced episodes of the first few seasons.

As I said last week. This has shaped up to be my favorite season of Discovery. Again this is coming from someone who was not a big fan of the first 4 seasons. As far as I'm concerned the show is going out with its best season.

Another 9 from me....

This episode wasn't bad and is probably my second favorite episode of the season behind Episode 4. I do think the Breen Villian was dumb and Moll taking charge immediately does strain believability for me, but Burnham's story and Book as the representation of the guy in Burnham's dreamscape were some of the more interesting things for this season. I also really liked the Archivist, as she seemed fun.

Tribbles?

Also the Dauphin’s nanny briefly shape changed into a hairy creature.

Since it was supposed to be the same tech, shouldn't time have telescoped for her, similar to Picard?

Since Picard was reliving someone else's memories the time frame might pass by different for Michael.

Out of the rather stable mediocrity of Discovery, this season is a little better so far.

Probably posted, but this is the actual library if anyone wanted to visit it: https://fisher.library.utoronto.ca/

I have no idea if it's open the public anymore though, because UofT is a stupid organization.\

Also the Breen are just not doing it for me. This season would have been better by just not having any antagonists at all except for the dumb scientists leaving around these death trap clues.

 

[SG-17]

At least now we know the Breen are gummy bears.

I think it was probably something like this:
Spock: *phones home*
Sarek: hello?
Spock: hello father
Sarek: hello son
Spock: *silence*
Sarek: *silence*
Spock: so... the half crew was turned to vegetables last week
Sarek: fascinating...
Spock: *silence*
Sarek: so... should I put your mother on the phone?
Spock: yes please....

No, that's still acknowledging their relationship, more like:

Spock goes home to visit Amanda, all are sitting at the dinner table.
Spock: Ambassador Sarak, please pass the salt.
Sarak: Do you require the pepper as well, Lt. Spock?
Spock: No, Thank you, Ambassador.

 

[Lord Garth]

Afro Spock needs an Efro.

 

[Mr Awe]

An episode with huge stakes, lead character introspection, massive starships and scifi concepts. How does Discovery keep doing this?

Sadly, I asked the same question. How does Discovery take a potentially exciting premise and make it so darn boring?!
