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...
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.
 
No.
The writing on The Americans is great. Or The Crown. Or Transparent. Or Handmaiden's. Or Thrones. Or PoI. Or Stranger Things. Or House of Cards. Or Orange Black. Dexter. BreakingABQ. Or a 100 other examples I could list.

This is sophomoric shit.

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

To be fair...
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.

Gets to go home with is wife.
And killing him would be a ginormous canon violation. Too bad, so sad.
 
A time crystal!

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.
