    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    I actually kinda agree here. Saru was in charge of the mission, and chose, very correctly according to Starfleet protocol, NOT to use the crystal spire transmitter. It was then that Burnham and Tyler, with little to no evidence*, decided that he had been “compromised”, committed mutiny and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    Saru is starting to get a little overpowered, IMHO. He’s got his threat-ganglia, super sight, super hearing. Oh, he can also run super fast for a long period of time. What sort of über-predator is his species hunted by on his homeworld? And why doesn’t Starfleet leave Saru on the crystalspire...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    EDIT: I obviously could be wrong, in which case we’ll see Saru doing nothing but scrubbing the decks and polishing silverware for the next two episodes, but I kinda doubt it. It’s kinda hard to comprehend that there (apparently) won’t be any consequences for Saru for scuttling the mission and...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    The problem with using the Klingons is twofold: 1: They’re hard to make interesting and it’s even harder to avoid turning them into one dimensional cliches. A 9th century Viking or a Moslem Pashtun in today’s Afghanistan or the tribal areas in Pakistan, would understand the honor concept...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    It’s like having a spaceship named “Neil Armstrong” but the class is named after one of the dudes on Apollo 15. Gagarin wasn’t just the first man in space, he also did the first orbital flight. (Shepherd’s flight was suborbital.) Gagarin is also vastly more recognized around the world. The...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    Look, if it was just me who was a bit confused about a plot point, I might just leave at at me not paying enough attention. But the fact that there are multiple people who were dumbfounded at the L’Rell b-story, and several posters who STILL aren’t sure whether she got off the ship or not...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    So apparently the H’urq was an insectoid race, with the societal structure of army ants? Sounds interesting! Sounds like DSC could need more H’urq and less Klingons.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    Personally I find the existence of spaceships way more realistic, than the thought of Tilly being a captain on it.

    Should the suliban or the mysterious future person that appeared on Enterprise on this series?

    Oh? Who was future guy, when was he from and what was his big plan? I’ve never heard of that before! I wouldn’t mind the Sulliban, even though they’ve always freaked me out. Maybe it was the wall/ceiling climbing, but I’ve always found them incredibly creepy!

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    I also took it as one of those “wahahah! I’m not just evil, I’m SUPER evil” kinda things. The guy didn’t really strike me as big on legalese, or as someone who waits for a legal reason. Belonging to a different house didn’t save any of L’Rells buddies down in the corpse storage, as they...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    The way they were talking about how she “got away from her” I definitely understood as she had gotten off the ship. But now you bring it up, it seems rather unclear, and they could have been talking about “the attempt”.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    That was also kinda weird. She didn’t know they were dead? Her friends are missing, for days, some of them maybe for weeks. Did L’Rell just figure they went on holiday? And HOW did the admiral escape? Doesn’t really seem like they’re running a tight ship security wise. How the heck did Tyler...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x08 - "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

    I liked the harmonious planet with a consciousness concept. Nice to get back to some exploring. But this episode has a big problem. NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER?!? Oh hey, there’s L’rell and the admiral joining forces... Good stuff! But oh noes! The bad Klingons show up! They start...

    should oral sex be depicted in star trek: discovery? hear me out

    Well it wasn’t a sex scene per se, but there was an explicit scene in Babylon5 that kinda advanced the plot... I’m of course talking about the time that Lando used his penis (one of them anyways) to cheat in a game of poker!

    should oral sex be depicted in star trek: discovery? hear me out

    The only crew member aboard the Discovery I wouldn’t mind seeing a sex scene with is Saru. And only because I bet his species procreate in a really weird way. Probably a gland of sorts. Or maybe spores.

    News Rapp: Spacey Made Sexual Advance Toward Me

    And speaking of the larger Weinstein/Hollywood scandal there are two things everyone should keep in mind. 1. Don’t trust a man who calls himself “a feminist”. 2. When you read about Dustin Hoffman telling someone off color jokes over THIRTY YEARS AGO in the news, there’s a good reason to...

    News Rapp: Spacey Made Sexual Advance Toward Me

    Meh... Awful people are often delightful in private life, and people we look up to are sometimes horrible behind four walls. Hitler wasn’t killing Jews in his off hours. He was an animal lover who taught his dog to do tricks, and always made sure his visitors left with a lunch in their bag...

    should oral sex be depicted in star trek: discovery? hear me out

    It’s a slippery slope. Put in explicit oral sex, and next thing you know, pervs will be clamoring for gangbangs and explicit anal sex featuring Stamets. Pornography always begets more pornography, it’s human nature. There hasn’t been a society yet, where people collectively say “Ok, that’s just...

    should oral sex be depicted in star trek: discovery? hear me out

    Hundreds of thousands of years of evolution have steered humans towards coupled pairings. Polyamory goes completely against that, which is why it’s rare, and usually ends up with poor results. (Not saying there aren’t any people who can’t pull it off, but it’s rare.) 300 years is a very short...

    RAVEN: Voyager Continues

    Saw about half of it at work today. Not bad, but there’s def. room for improvement. 1. Capt Corvus has to be the rapiest Starfleet captain to date. He needs an eyepatch to take off some of the “Here, have a drink that I haven’t put anything in whatsoever”-vibe. 2. Why is there music playing...
