Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x09 - "Into the Forest I Go"

[Guy Gardener]

Obviously Klingon blood is mostly alcohol and the colour of it is dependent on what was last consumed. The Klingons in TUC were all drinking Romulan Ale which turned their blood pink. In everything else they drank blood wine (named, not because it is the colour of their blood, but because it colours their blood) hence red.

Why does blue Romulan Ale turn Klingon blood pink? Fuck you, that's why.

Klingon Tampons are mice?

The latest round of anal-centric tittering occurred in late September when University of Tennessee Pi Kappa Alpha member Alexander “Xander” Broughton (yes, presumably pronounced “bro-ton”) was treated for severe alcohol poisoning after “allegedly” butt chugging boxed wine (the proper bro-menclature, I believe, is “Tour de Franzia”). Butt chugging—in case you were blissfully unaware—allows the alcohol to bypass the liver’s filtering and metabolic processes so that the ethanol drains straight into the bloodstream via veins to the vena cava. You're basically short-circuiting the body's poison defenses by putting liquor in your ass. It’s supposed to be an intense and near-instant buzz.

I can't wait until Michael gives him a "Vulcan hello".

So this is the end of Kol?

General Kol died like a dirty petaQ. He did not quote Shakespeare before the end. He had no honor. Good riddance!

Michael needs to marry Tyler, while she's still on the outside, or there could be rules about these two hooking up that are hard to hurdle without a pre-existing marriage certificate, after the penal system reclaims her.

Voq is going to surface during their honeymoon.

I'm willing to bet that the story Lorca told Starfleet, the one he told Mudd and Tyler, and what actually happened are three different things.

Well, we can only hope...

 

[Tim Thomason]

I'm willing to bet that the story Lorca told Starfleet, the one he told Mudd and Tyler, and what actually happened are three different things.

The problem is: why would he lie to Mudd, who apparently knew all about the Buran (or, at least the publicly available information about it), and risk being exposed as a liar potentially then and there?

 

[Guy Gardener]

1. The cell was bugged.

2. Tyler or Mudd was already his confederate.

Pahvo is near Castor/Alpha Geminorum.

When Burnham's leaving sickbay, I think. After the big fight.

I thought it was Detmer.

 

[WinstonLegthigh]

Gave this one a 9. I don't think there is an actual award awaiting Lorca, and he knows it. I think this episode also should put an end to any doubt about Tyler/Voq.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I think we saw Klingon boobs!!

K'tits!

I have to say those sensors they planted on the Klingon ship were too big. I would have expected something small and not easily detectable, but I guess it didn't matter at the end.

It might help if they didn't flash "FEDERATION TRICK" on their displays.

 

[WinstonLegthigh]

Forgot to add- I thought that was a pretty insincere thank you from Stamets to Lorca toward the end.

 

[Agony_Boothb]

Tit'kuvma?

This episode was pretty good. Good action, and a nice follow through on a number of plot lines.

They are REALLY leaning into the Tyler is Voq tease now. I'd written it off, but then they introduce tech that could mask bio readings. I really don't want Tyler to be Voq. But I suppose it depends what they do with it if they go there. Could give Shazad Latif some quality material to work with, and the man can definitely handle it.

Lorca remains the best part of this show. I just love his layers, his seeming contradictions. He's both a monster and a hero all at the same time, and you never really know which way he's going to jump. I also love that they wrote the entire run up to the final jump and the cliffhanger such that it could all be a total coincidence, born out of all kinds of factors in play, or it could totally be just Lorca being a manipulative shit. Even his conversation with Stamets has sinister undertones. Is Lorca being a stand up guy? Or is he saying what he needs to say to convince the man to make just one more jump? Especially combined with Lorca's final line before the jump, and the fact that he seemingly overrode the destination coordinates, it just creates a fantastic air of mystery. It really, quite brilliantly, could go either way. Both in terms of plot and characterization, neither outcome would surprise me in the least.

Good stuff. I'm definitely in for more Discovery. Burnham doesn't interest me in the slightest, but the rest of these characters are delightful. Lorca, Stamets, Tilly, Saru, Tyler. Even L'rell.

It might help if they didn't flash "FEDERATION TRICK" on their displays.

The relays were very TOS in their design with the tripod support et al.

I think Stamets purposefully took them to one of the parallel universes he saw on the display.

 

[Mel Tenorio]

I don't think people are realizing the true ramifications of this episode. I believe people may be thinking way too small. Forget just visiting the mirror universe, Discovery can travel to pretty much ANY timeline or any parallel universe now. The Kelvin-verse, the mirrorverse, the past, the future.

It's possible this was never the Prime Universe as we knew it to be, but one version of it.

Agreed. DSC could have been in an alternate timeline and they've just jumped into the canon universe that we know.

 

[cooleddie74]

The best episode so far.

Not perfect, but at last the show is getting its sea legs. I can't wait for the Holiday hiatus to end so we can find out what happens next!

 

[MvRojo]

Loved seeing the Discovery flying around and maneuvering.

Klingon breasts are the most honorable breasts. Songs, operas and erotica will be written about them.
