Having stayed away from "The Burnham Show", I figured "What the heck" and started rewatching it. After a very strong episode by DISCO-standards (which I'd rate 8/10), comes this absolute piece of garbage! Again, no respect for the source material by having the screen of ISS Enterprise to be a...
While I think I must rewatch the episode before I can grade it, it was a hit and miss. The Gorn, which is already irreconcilable with TOS (where the name of the species was unknown to the crew), has transformed into something akin to the "Alien" .That doesn't mean that it's bad, but derivative...
Christine Chong is a terrific singer and I really enjoyed the song... but this isn't Star Trek and this at a point when the show couldn't sink any lower than "Those Old Scientists". Mediocre committee writers who wants to have "fun".
If there were more episodes per seasons then I wouldn't mind...
I can't even... "Spock's Brain", "Sub Rosa" and "11:59" are top-notch Star Trek episodes compared to this toilet bowl material.
Not a single redeemable thing about this dreck of a gimmick which is the worst of Trek.
0/10.
An awful episode with a main plot that makes no sense at all. This show needs some good sci-fi writers which are unfortunately not that easy to come by. Gooding is a very talented actor so a +1 for that.
2/10.
A thoroughly "meh" episode. Ethan Peck does a really good Spock and while it's somewhat amusing to see him play around with the character, it's nothing we haven't seen before. And I really dislike the T'Pring stuff as it flies in the face of "Amok Time" and also the Vulcans' keeping their...
A decent episode but nothing special. Liked that the Kalar looked pretty similar to "The Cage" and I liked the appearance of Rigel VII which I'll award the episode an extra point for. Ortega is a good enough character but that she relies on "feelings" is a tiresome trend in modern Trek. I also...
8/10, a thoroughly enjoyable episode. I thought it was absurd that a character is named Noonien Singh was included and that has colored my view of the character a bit. However, Christina Chong was absolutely brilliant in this episode and they pulled off the connection well, though contrived, so...
Do you have anything to contribute or are all your posts nonsense? I've noticed that this community has a very low tolerance for people expressing a dissenting view. If I was to post that I didn't like an episode of "The Mandalorian" over at the TheForce.net, I wouldn't be jumped by trolls such...
I'm not referring to this episode as such, but the series. Rather than an episodic format, the episodes have a clear interconnected and open narrative and yes, I do find the episode melodramatic. I do think a show mustn't forget what has happened earlier, but if they're piling on and on it...
Of course, they weren't pure soap opera like modern "Star Trek".
Indeed, in the hands of competent writers this would've served as a an excellent analogy of LGBT+ rights, but the logical hoops (especially during the questioning of April), stale writing, unlikeable (or rather bland) characters...
Oh my... I thought the last episode was awful with Spock disobeying orders and stealing the Enterprise for a person he hardly knew and which flew right in the face of "The good of the many outweighs the need of the few" but this was an insanely boring and tedious episode. Thank the Maker I...
Indeed, they did change the superficially but the basic layout remained the same. Here we have SNW with its ginormous ships and corresponding large bridge with double exists (in DIS season 2). And just like in the Discoverse, the bridge has a window which was never the case in TOS nor any other...
A tragic episode, I quite liked the character that was offed. But all pretense that this is set in the Prime Timeline must be dropped. In "Arena", Kirk didn't even know the race of the alien and it's inconceivable that he wouldn't. This is the Discoverse, which in some aspects lies close to the...
I'm a bit behind. Other than I can't abide by the Noonien-Singh-character and that Kirk had never et al had never heard about the Gorn before being told by the Metrons they were called the Gorns, this was a solid and very clever episode! I'm feeling generous so 10/10.
Ah, thank you for the correction!
Of course it does! Why would Spock only have a picture of T'Pring as a child? Heck, the dialogue during the koon-ut-kal-if-fee implies as much.
So a contradiction.
It's very much a contradiction! Spock explained the Vulcan "mating rituals" quite well.
"Defies". Uh, yes it does. It was established in "Amok Time" that Spock and T'Pring hadn't seen each other since they were betrothed as children and Spock made it clear that the marriage had been arranged, thus no need to "propose marriage". Intimacy among Vulcans was also shown to be such a...
