Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x03 - "Context is for Kings"

Really enjoyed this episode! Burnham became a bit more likable which is great. No major complaints here. It does remind me of the BSG reboot, but that's okay. I enjoyed that show.

 

Try cancelling and see if they offer you a free month.

Yep. Two things we know: the Klingons don't win, and Discovery's new drive won't work for long.

 

So, what will happen to the transwarp spores, they would have been useful on Voyager.

 

Taking the first two episodes as one big two-parter, I kinda liked those a little more than this one, but this episode was excellent.

I thought Tilly stole the show. I like the "lower decks" feel of her scenes. She's great.

Finally got to see Stamets! Been eagerly waiting to see this character since he was announced. Love Anthony Rapp and thought he did a great job.

The mycological angle here is intriguing and definitely has my attention.

Still think Lorca is up to no good. I imagine he is going to have to be removed at some point.

Not sure how I feel about the alien monster yet because we don't know anything about it, but we'll see.

TRIBBLE.

GORN SKELETON.

HORIZONTAL WARP DRIVE.

The ship is gorgeous. GORGEOUS.

9/10. Keep'em coming.

No problems with CBSAA. I've watched DSC episodes on my Xbox, laptop, phone and at my parents' house on their PS4. No technical issues. Looks good.

 

Fair enough. I could actually see them going an equinox in voyager route with this.

 

Well you're in the minority. Just look at the audience ratings here on this site. Completely predictable: the doomsayers are whining and moaning that the show turned out to be pretty damned good!

 

Discovery has nothing in common with BSG.

 

Why do you feel the need to give us a running tally of where their RT score is?

 

So are you. But people seem to agree with me.

 

Starfleet probably considers them too dangerous, that animal on the Glenn probably came from the experiment.

 

I like the new security officer.

 

This is the guy who should give it a rest.

 

Me? What did I do?

 

Whatever the reason, I feel like it will be explained. I mean, why did Starfleet give up on Transwarp-- just because Scotty sabotaged it? QUITTERS!

 

No, the Cervix guy. Sorry, the quoting is funky. I thought his quote from your post would appear when I responded.

 

Yup. Transwarp propulsion fell by the wayside after the failure of the Excelsior to prove the technology worked and we didn't hear about transwarp again in the franchise until TNG and VOY and in-universe it didn't come up again until well over 80 years later. Starfleet dropped it like a hot potato or kept its research classified and very quiet.

 

I'm assuming the USS Glenn was probably named after Astronaut John Glenn.

 

People give 0 ratings for games they haven't played and I'm sure a lot of those "insult to fans!?!1?" Trekkies think that manipulating the RT score will get the show canceled.

That's not how this works though, so...

 

Yeah this was an example of Discovery NAILING it!
well written and well acted. the plot was great. gives us kind of a "weird thing of the week" with a serialized story line.

makes me wish they started here as the pilot and gave us the back story in flashbacks.
