Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x01 - "The Vulcan Hello"

[USS Triumphant]

"Massive photonic activity."

Bright light. The Beacon of Kahless, or whatever.

Has anyone told the Klingons that it will be hundreds of years before most if their brethren see it?

Well, I'm sure that this is one bit that they will explain after the commercial.

Maybe it's "massive photonic activity", accompanied by a modicum of FTL emissions that weren't mentioned because they were far less prominent?

Yeah, we'll see.

on Battle At Binary Stars now

 

[USS Triumphant]

Yep. Subspace.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I'm having no luck with google. Where's that referenced?

Spock in The Trouble with Tribbles: "The battle of Donatu V was fought near here twenty three solar years ago. Inconclusive."

 

[Amaris]

Why is there a counseling session going on now?

 

[Amaris]

Title drop!

 

[guyute03]

This has all not been terrible at all. I've definitely been entertained.

"The Trouble with Tribbles"

I gave the first part a '7'. Some of it I liked, Sarek felt extraneous (would it kill them to use a viewscreen?), the Klingons babbled about honor.

We won't watch the second part til tomorrow night. Starting late and an early day tomorrow for everyone will do that.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I think it's pretty good so far. But the Klingons are definitely not working.

 

[BillJ]

But the Klingons are definitely not working.

I was really bored during the Klingon scenes.

 

[Mudd]

Wait a minute - that's it?

That's supposed to be some kind of cliffhanger or something?

Honestly, this is pretty bad.

 

[Jadeb]

Drawing the phaser seemed totally unnecessary.

As was the chat with Sarek, for that matter.

 

[Amaris]

Yeah, the visuals are gorgeous, I definitely like Michael Burnham as a character, but the rest of this isn't working for me so far.

 

[USS Triumphant]

I'm waiting (patiently) for an explanation for where the heck TOS/TNG Klingons are. I'm fine with these Klingons existing, but not exclusively.

 

[Jadeb]

Honestly, this is pretty bad.

I think I like it more than you do, but it's a bizarre way to try to get people to pay for a streaming service.

 

[Tim Thomason]

I didn't know the old Vulcans had it in them. Probably a good thing they were under a military dictatorship at the time.

I enjoyed the story of Voq, son of None. Other than that, I had trouble following the Klingons.

I'm guessing Michael's attempt at mutiny never made it into the history books, since it's unheard of ten years later.

I would've liked to see the Discovery in the first episode, but whatever.

 

[BillJ]

I think Saru went a long way towards saving it for me.

 

[The Rock]

Wow I loved it!!!!

 

[USS Triumphant]

THANKS CBS for a scene-laden preview of the next episode AFTER THE ONE I'M WATCHING. Effing morons!

 

[USS Triumphant]

Oh. That was it? Wow.
