Rate and Discuss Discovery Episode 1x01 'To Boldly Go' (Spoilers)

I think the new uniforms look like s&m outfits, what's up with the whips and the muzzles?

So episode 2 has been on, are we bothered yet about the constant references to Jar Jar Binks?

It was inspired by this book:

 

[Ovation]

The Horta/Tribble lovechild was a bit sadistic, though. Such a soft, furry look, inviting unsuspecting humanoids to use it as a plush pillow, only to get severe burns from the acidic secretions from the fur. Once, for shock effect, was ok, but by the fourth incident, I can only think there is a cruel streak among the showrunners that will be difficult to stomach on a regular basis.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

And I thought there wouldn't be any standalone episodes. The almost shot-for-shot remake of Ridley Scott's Alien with the Alfa 177 canine in place of the Xenomorph was a genius!

Did anyone else hear the sound of the TARDIS over the closing credits?

[The Wormhole]

You know what I miss? Technobabble. Man, this show better soon start having nonsense talk about realigning the phase discriminators to 47% quantum inducement soon or I think I'm baling.

 

[WB2]

I think it's great they brought back Kirk from the nexus and made him the Captain of the Discovery, Shatner looks bit fat though.

 

[eyeresist]

They did explain that though.

Spoiler

Too much red matter.

I cried when the captain's chair spun around and it was Shatner.

 

[eyeresist]

And then it just kept spinning.

 

[Nerys Myk]

And then it just kept spinning.

I had hope we'd seen the last of temporal anomalies. But it was a nice touch how with each spin it was a different Trek captain. Not sure why they played that snippet of the Doctor Who theme, though.

 

[Ovation]

The best part was the final spin revealing Pine in his 09 uniform. Guess the sets and decor will be TOS redux, what with so much of the budget going to Pine.

It never occurred to me that a young Harry Mudd would be so thin. And ripped. And... well, you saw it, I don't need to say it.

So Harry Mudd really sold fake patents to Spock's mother, it wasn't just in a manner of speaking.

 

[RAMA]

It was about time they showed us how they cleaned the ship. Seemed kind of excessively wet though...

 

[WB2]

I liked it as a pilot but the sex scene didn't have to go on for 17 minutes. Seemed they could have used that time for something else..

Meh, it was less embarrassing than the decon rub-down in Broken Bow.

I took that they played that so often for comedic effect.

I'd buy that from Tarentino, but not the hack they got to direct the pilot. Talk about stealing from your betters.
