Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x03 - "Choose to Live"

But, not all. So, when do we discard the ratings and discuss substance? Because ratings are BS.

 

Irony.

 

That’s not remotely true.

Why are you even here? Just to piss people off who like the show?

 

One of the counts listed against J'Vini is first degree murder of the Credence first officer. First degree murder is a killing that is premediated. It is possible that I am wrong here, but it seems that what happened was not first degree murder. It was more like second degree murder, which is not premediated.

 

Because bitching is funner with company.

 

Ni'Var or Federation laws may not reflect our own.

 

I think the polls here are a lot more realistic than polls I see on other sites where people just give DSC 1/10’s without having seen the episodes……..

 

The internet rule for poll's is to ignore anything that's a 1 and anything that's a 10.

 

No, the internet rule seems to be to ignore anything that doesn't jive with your personal worldview.

 

@Fateor you'd be much happier hanging out in the comments section of Jammer's Reviews. You'd fit in like a glove.

This sums it up.

That and the fact that DSC has done well enough that they made four other Star Trek shows to pad out the year. If no one was liking the output, they wouldn't have multiplied it by five.

 

the Jammer Reviews comment section…… one of the most depressing, joyless parts of the internet in existence…

 

Most US state law codes consider a homicide conducted in the course of another violent felony such as armed robbery or rape, to be first degree murder.

 

They can be the galaxy ending threat next season.

I mean, they intentionally refuse to use phasers with handy stun settings in favor of swords...

intragalactic...

That can be disabled by blinking at them...

 

Someone's been on certain echo chamber that rhymes with poocube


Always delighted to meet someone who has met and talked to Everyone. You must be extremely busy. I never had the sociability, impetus, myself. Also you're exaggerating and probably completely wrong.

 

It would be hilarious if that was actually some sort of prison and these lads are evil and breed like Tribbles

 

There are lots of things I don't like about DSC but I don't think it sucks outside of certain episodes and storylines. No, not even the critics universally think it's the worst Trek ever.

 

I really enjoyed this one. Best one of the season so far.
Loved seeing another Starfleet ship of the era.
Super happy that they brought the Qowat Milat into this century. The hints of Ni’Var rejoining the Federation was great.
Really loved the meld between T’Rina and Book which helped him begin his long journey to healing after such an unspeakable loss. I could be way off, but I’m seeing the start of a friendship between Book and Stamets. Would be really cool to see a friendship between them similar to Bashir and O’Brien. And the Abronians...wow. So cool to see aliens look truly alive instead of just humans with bumpy noses and foreheads. And the interior shot of the moon ship was awesome. First thing I thought of when the moon ship was introduced was Yonada. I wasn’t happy about the political move of returning J’Vini to Ni’Var, but I see how it drives the story. These new Treks are really kicking ass. Every episode feels like a one hour motion picture instead of just a TV episode. While not perfect, they’re still doing a damned great job.

 

Don’t care for the story arc so far this year. Last year’s threat - The Burn has been replaced with a Dark Matter Anamoly.

Looks like Burnham taught Book how to cry.

Strange New Worlds can’t get here fast enough. I hope they use different writers.

 

While i didn't rate the two previous episodes, because they fit somewhere between 6 and 7 for me, this one's a really good 9 for me

 

Finally managed to catch up.

For the most part it’s a nice little character development episode and really enjoyable, not something discovery does often.


Good interweaving storylines and characters are changing the places they were in. By the way, is it me or they are hinting at the possibility of Tilly leaving?


Great that Grey has a body again, closing the cycle they started with last season and the resolution of Book’s grief was a bit obvious but still quite ok and very well inserted in the anomaly plot.


For the first time possibly ever I like a Discovery ship design (with the ship seen at the beginning), although the internals were still the usual gloomy nondescript ones they seem to like so much. The action sequence was also great.


The idea of the not a moon was good as was the reason for the grave robbers being interested (so latinum is still a thing!).


The interaction between Michael, Tilly and Gabrielle was ok.


The really awful part was the reason for the crimes and how it’s solved. So this nun figures that she has to steal and kill on a massive scale and doesn’t think that perhaps there are much better ways to fulfill her mission and that it can’t be right for the definitely not a moon to be in orbit of its destination for so long without doing nothing? And the previous guardian was there for who knows how long and didn’t find a way to solve the issue but Michael does in two minutes using alien technology? Riiight.

1. Would easily be an 8 without the incredibly contrived part.

Still the best episode this season so far, though.
