Episode titles 10 to 15...

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Didn't Stammets mention that his dad or someone in his family was in a Beatles tribute band?

His uncle.

"Vaulting Ambition" - Wonder if this refers to out of control inner ambition or maybe overcoming ambition from another.

"The War Without, The War Within" - Again, reference to battling inner demons and attacks from without? I doubt it's a reference to the Klingon conflict.That would seem too on the nose.

Well, if Tyler is Voq these titles would be pretty appropriate.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

How many episodes are there in the first season? I wanted the final reveal of Tyler to be called "What the VOQ?"

 

[Tuskin38]

How many episodes are there in the first season?

15

These are the last episode titles for the season, says right in the thread title lol

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

These are the last episode titles for the season, says right in the thread title lol

Whoopsies.

 

[Kor]

These titles aren't quite as literary as some of the earlier ones.

[ITDUDE]

Take my hand in friendship, I'd wager. Peace treaty? Cease fire?

More like literally take someone's hand. As in amputate or cut off. From everything everyone seen in this season, does everyone really think it's going to something pedestrian as a marriage.

 

[Search4]

There are hands attempting to meet in the title graphics. Always figured that was going to show at some point.

 

[Borgminister]

"Despite yourself the wolf inside vaulting ambition what's past is prologue the war without, the war within will you take my hand?"

So what's the title of the other five episodes?

Sounds like an episode of Drunk History.

 

[Midquest]

The last title is particularly interesting given the hands in the title sequence of the show. When the titles were first released, I remember people commenting on the strange "Creation of Adam" reference. But I always perceived the two hands reaching out to be a symbol of like but different beings striving to reach accord. Sort of fits with the final episode title.

 

[Burning Hearts of Qo'nos]

"Will You Take My Hand" sounds like a death flag for Stamets, if we are to connect the Beatles reference to that offhand mention to his uncle so far. I am officially afraid for him

 

[Christopher]

How is it a Beatles reference? The Beatles song is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." Google lists a few songs with the lyric "Will you take my hand" in them, but none of them are Beatles songs. There's a recent song called "Start a Riot" by the Banners that includes the line, in the context of the singer saying they would start a riot or burn the city down to protect their loved one. (Lyrics here.) There's also a rather repetitive one called "Make a Shadow" by Meg Myers (lyrics here), but I can't quite figure out what it's saying beyond maybe wanting to be a kid again and play shadow puppets. There's also Emitt Rhodes' "Mary Will You Take My Hand," which is just a happy cheerful song about impending nuptials. Of the three, I'd say "Start a Riot" is the most likely one to be the intended reference in a Discovery episode.

It's also the final image in the opening before the Star Trek title.

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

I'm pretty sure this isn't a list and that episode 10 is actually titled, Despite Yourself and the Wolf Inside's Vaulting Ambition; What's Past Is Prologue to The War Without The War Within...So Will You Take My Hand?

Henceforth known among Trek fans by the much simpler "DYatWIVAWPiPttWWtWWSWYTMH".

 

[XCV330]

Vaulting Ambition is another Shakespeare quote, from Macbeth.

Oh I inferred @Snowy Road 's post joke that it would be a Beatles tribute episode implied that it was the exact name to a song. To be honest, I don't know anything about the Beatles ^^;

Deathflag somewhat cautiously retracted.

Vaulting ambition is from the "If it where done when tis done, twere well it were done quickly" speech in Macbeth. He basically is trying to drum up the courage to assassinate Duncan, but nearly talks himself out of it.

....He’s here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked newborn babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur

To prick the sides of my intent, but only

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself

And falls on th' other.

Is there going to be an attempted assassination (for example, to derail peace talks with the Klingons) or...another mutiny? (something I know a lot of us have speculated about, if Lorca's desire/need to remain captain of the Discovery becomes a threat to the safety of the crew)

 

[Nerys Myk]

To be honest, I don't know anything about the Beatles ^^;

 

[Tuskin38]

I wonder if we’ll get a trailer for the rest of the season.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

10 Despite Yourself
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. Someone completely abandons who they are. Who though?

11 The Wolf Inside

Spoiler: the most popular fan theory

Ash meets tribble.

12 Vaulting Ambition
OK, that's more the needs of the many... But I think it's about Burnham this time.

13 What's Past Is Prologue
Time travel. I win. Told you so.

14 The War Without The War Within

Spoiler: the most popular fan theory

Ash/Voq internal struggle begins to settle.

15 Will You Take My Hand?

Spoiler: the most popular fan theory

Ash/Voq finishing his internal struggle, rediscovers his bond with L'Rell and Michael, and that paves the way to a peace treaty.
