Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

I'm pretty sure Decker is off the ship now. It wouldn't make much canon sense for him and Spock to serve alongside each other.

Also, his former actor is persona non grata in Hollywood (for good reason).

Oh I don't think, and I hope we never, see Steven Collins back on tv again (time for a Tales of the Gold Monkey reboot, christ I loved that show as a kid). And there's not a lot of reason to keep his cahracter around in a younger form. He has a pretty simple arc:

Cadet on Discovery
Takes over as captain on Enterprise, oversees refit
is treated badly by Kirk the Jerk, demoted for no reason
gets back with his ex and then she dies
mates with an old NASA probe while the TOS Trio watch, and makes a new species with it, the end.

We need a voiceover to clear up any inconsistencies and clean up the Memory Alpha page.

"Ensign Decker, please report to the shuttlebay. I repeat, Ensign Willard Decker, son of Captain Matthew Decker and former Cadet until his graduation last year, please report to the shuttlebay for immediate transfer to Delta IV."

 

[CommanderRaytas]

I need to Google this guy.

 

[CorporalClegg]

That's what they all say.

Got to watch the first episode of Hell on Wheels. Mount really impresses me, interested to see what he does next.

Hell on Wheels kicks ass and takes names. It's why I was excited when I found out Anson Mount was playing Pike.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Ronald Tracey for next Captain of USS Discovery!

Hmm...on second thought...

Then perhaps we could use an actor like Chris Heyerdahl to be the captain. A move back to a little bit of an unsettling and unpredictable Captaincy after our year of a 'father knows best' sort of Captain. One who does bear the scars of the war. He's always been able to hold a scene as well.

 

[TrickyDickie]

Scott Glenn for 3rd Season Captain....and I don't give a damn how old he is.

Hmm...on second thought...

Guy was such a dick.

 

[Succubint]

I really hope that the next captain, if it's not Saru, is both a woman and an alien. That's all I want DSC. Make it so!

 

[CommanderRaytas]

Scott Glenn for 3rd Season Captain....and I don't give a damn how old he is.

Hunt for the Red Angel?

 

[DaveyNY]

Hunt for the Red Angel?

Why not, we've already seen The Hunt for the Green Angel ...

There's an awesome quote in the latest review on www.jammersreviews.com that I think sums things up perfectly, and in a way I haven't really thought of or been able to articulate before. I may not 100% agree with it, but it is the most balanced, measured and thoughtful "summary" of the feelings often expressed on the show.

Maybe this will help people process some of their feelings on things a little better.

Enjoy!

The more I watch Discovery, the clearer it becomes this is a series that wants me to feel something above all else. I'm not saying it doesn't also want me to think, or at least ponder its plots and puzzlements. But the creators of this show want me to experience it in a very immediate and visceral way, with scenes that are about emotions, conflict, camaraderie, action, peril, tension, and aesthetic and tactile conveyance. World building, problem solving, and intellectual debate are secondary.

The things I mentioned in the latter list are things I like about Trek. The things I mentioned in the former list are things I like about Trek that Discovery does more than any Trek series before it. Call me a hopeless optimist, but I like Discovery for what it is, even though I also long for some of the things it isn't.

Stories should be, first and foremost, about people, IMO

I think S31 will be the main antagonist of Season 3. More than they are right now in Season 2.

Either this season or next season they will go underground, and that's how it's going to be when their own series starts.

Does the Disco have a hangar door? Did we solve that one?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Does the Disco have a hangar door? Did we solve that one?

Never seen one,so I'm going with no.

 

[Tuskin38]

It did in Season 1, and in Episode 1 of Season 2.
