    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x09 - "All Those Who Wander"

    They were trying to go for suspense/horror, but I was literally laughing at the audacity of the Xenomorph/Predator hybrid, with a little Jurassic Park thrown in.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x04 - "Memento Mori"

    Did it bother anybody else that M'Benga was transfusing his blood into Una when she's not human?

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    The TOS stuff I can excuse, they were feeling their way, building a universe that didn't exist, and certainly had no idea they were creating a multi-decade multi-media empire. The change in Klingons was made canon by both DS9 and ENT (for good or bad). That leaves the Trill stuff. OK. In...

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    That was kind of what I meant. As you go from one series to the next, there was good sense of continuity with what became before (or after), I would even include ENT in there as they made definite tie-ins to events in other series. Certainly that wasn't the intent, but it became one...

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    Actually, I think this is a great comparison. A great novel series or a great TV series create a rich universe the the reader/viewer takes part in discovering and enjoying. Now taker my favorite novel series, the Foundation series by Asimov. The first books were written in the 1940's. In...

    Those things are not mutually exclusive.

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    Seems like it was a priority and possible up until Discovery.

    Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

    His argument against the mismatch in technology, uniforms, Klingons, overall look,established facts, etc. are "it doesn't matter." That's hardly a compelling argument.

    another new season 2 trailer and poster

    Is no one bothered by the apparently emotional Spock? I guess it's at least consistent with canon depiction in The Cage.

    Spoilers Star Trek Discovery Season 1: Overall Review Thread

    Two comments: 1. I found the ending of the Klingon War incredibly easy and lame. The Klingons are within minutes of attacking Earth, with their foot on the neck of the the Federation, and then "oh, never mind." That's about the most un-Klingon thing I've ever seen. And L'Rell threatening to...

    Is Discovery your new favorite Star Trek series?

    For me it's: TOS TNG/DS9 VOY ENT STD And I have a hard time even including STD in the ranking because it still doesn't feel like Star Trek to me.

    Multiple mirror episodes this season!

    Fact: the producers continue to urge fans to be patient, that 1) apparent canon contradictions will be explained; and 2) we will end up with the "optimistic Trek" of TOS. For both of these to happen, it would have involve significant change over the remaining 9 episodes. In fact I don't see how...

    The "I'm Not Paying" Confessional Thread

    I was dead set on NOT paying for CBS All-access just on principle - I did not think it was right to make us pay to watch Star Trek. But my daughter lives outside the US, and after watching three episodes, told me I need to watch, so I caved. There, I feel better.

    Random speculations thread!

    Similar to what others have said, this is taking place in an alternate universe (but not the mirror universe, it doesn't fit). The fungus drive eventually (and accidentally) takes them to the prime universe. That is the reason why 1) this show doesn't see to fit with the prime universe; and 2)...

    So what's up with the black badges?

    I think, since they made a point to have the characters comment that they had never seen black badges before, that they were intentionally setting this up as a mystery.

    Tilly was reminding me of someone something fierce. It just clicked. We have our new Ezri.

    I didn't find her annoying, but I did find her character as out-of-place given the tone of the show.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x03 - "Context is for Kings"

    Obviously the "alternate universe" idea pre-dates Dark Matter - that's not what I meant. But Discovery's fungus drive instantaneous transport IS a copy of the Blink Drive, and I guess I found their discussion as to how it could change the course of the war as an almost exact copy of the...
