Spoilers General Disco Chat Thread

Lorca did in The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry, when he broadcast the distress call from Corvan II to make Stamets work harder on getting the spore drive operational. I'll never let him live it down.

Well, that was our first clue that he may not have been from this Universe... That and the eye thing, although we couldn't know that it was significant until alt-Georgiou's remark.
 
Instead of broadcasting crying children and explosions over the PA system to guilt-trip you into working harder, he'd play rousing music and motivational quotes. His ready room on the Buran was plastered with cringy cat-themed motivational posters, and the computer was programmed to start playing Eye of the Tiger every time he uttered the phrase "let's get to work."

I'd prefer to work for Mirror Lorca. :eek:
 
Going through the second season again. Not all in one go, though. Unfortunately, things have been quite busy. Lots of productions, both theater and filming sports, and exercise.

I'm up to "Point of Light". "Brother" was good. "New Eden" was pretty good. I know I'm in the minority about "Point of Light". But I still think it's awesome. And I'm glad the Klingons have hair again! Klingons with no hair was the one and only change I didn't like that Discovery did.

Point of Light was very unique. It's almost like it could have been its own little telefilm between seasons. I liked it because it was so different.
 
I haven't had time for a rewatch yet, but did we ever end up seeing the scene with Michael and Saru where they're having a private moment and he comforts her by saying something like "we'll figure it out, we always do" (it was in one of the trailers this season)

Trailers are meant to be deceptive, I remember the trailer for "Fortunate Son", they made it look like there was an opposition between Archer and Mayweather, that was never there.
 
Discovery is too busy. There's too much going on and proper character and story development is suffering because of it. The producers need have just a few well thought out beats to each episode and stick to them. Also far too much technical gibberish being used to hang whole stories from. Some of this babble could pass on TNG and VOY where they had 26 episodes to flesh out other aspects of each show. It's killing Discovery though.

I don't think so. Disco bears rewatching... several times because there are things that you're bound to have missed the first or even second time. A lot is said and a lot happens, sometimes in the background. They did a really thorough job.

I don't know, call me old fashioned but I like to carried along by a story with real heart and strength to it that I can easily lose myself in - something Trek traditionally was. What you're describing sounds more like something academic you'd have to study. Where's the fun in that?

I don't know. Losing yourself in a story is a one-shot deal, once you know what's gonna happen you can't look at it the same way. That's when you're happy if there are more things to discover. But you're right it's kinda like a study but that doesn't exclude fun. I had a lot of fun during my studies and my grades were rather high, one doesn't preclude the other.
