Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x07 - "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"

Gate golf was more fun, but this will do.

 

Any extra Detmer scenes? I wanna know more about her

 

Guy brutally kills another guy over and over and at least one person bears witness.

Gets to go home with is wife.

 

This was damned delightful.

Took a couple of previous Trek staples and put some new spins on one, and added a little history to the other.

I love this show.

Next week looks good too...

Spoiler: Next Time on Star Trek: Discovery

SOMEBODY GON' DIE OOOH DIS GON' BE GUD

 

I wish I could vote 0/10.

This episode was cringeworthy. Definitely a sign that STD is a broken version of Star Trek, written by people who are desperate to reinvent the source material. Sadly, it's a bad reinvention.

I don't even know where to start with this. I don't even want the writers/producers fired at this point, just give us a better Star Trek series than STD.

 

your well entitled to your opinion. frankly i think GoT is fairly boring... an execution of "lets throw as much as we can in a blender" in a way that i find kinda thoughtless.

this episode here used intricacies in our characters to unravel the time loop as opposed to intricacies in the event. i find that very creative.

 

Wow my first 10. I loved it.

 

Well I gave it a 6, the lowest rating I've given an episode so far. As I said before, I don't care for the remake of TNG Groundhog Day episode. The only saving grace was seeing Stella!

 

I thought the federation didn't believe in torture.

 

To be fair...

Spoiler: ...the one where:

Lorca gets beamed out in space, and has exactly two seconds to look around before folding up in a nonverbal "WTF"

was brutal but also kinda hilarious in that black comedy sort of way.

And killing him would be a ginormous canon violation. Too bad, so sad.

 

Time loop stories are the best because you can really go apeshit with the solution, and it doesn't matter, because timey-wimey stuff.

 

It was a snappy episode. It used some familiar Trek tropes, had a few character moments, wasn't obnoxiously dark, actually told a whole story, and was, effectively, a stand alone.

 

"On my backswing"

 

Poor thing doesn't age well. You should see her in about 12 years from now.

 

Next week appears to be a

Planet side episode

 

And not a moment too soon!

 

Ok, gave it my first 10. For the first time I was riveted in my seat without wanting to turn to something else.

 

I think the party perfectly illustrates everything wrong with this show.

It's trying so hard not be "Star Trek." So it dresses itself up in club decor and music from the early 2000s. And has all the characters interact and speak like they were written by people who haven't been to a party since the early 2000s.
