Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x13 - "What's Past Is Prologue"

[Lord Garth]

Nice misdirection when Georgiou turned around.

EDIT (four minutes later): That's what a Phaser Fight looks like.

Alright that ion storm was the first time I felt a connection to TOS felt convoluted. It just felt too convenient

 

[Tuskin38]

All the computer sounds when Michael was trying to contact the Discovery were from TOS

Some of the doors on the Cheron are just red rectangles like the TOS Connie lmao

 

[Lord Garth]

Lorca must be a fan of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

 

[Romulan_spy]

What a cliffhanger!!!

 

[eschaton]

Up to the second commercial break now. Man, this is stupid so far. Really stupid. Lorca is mustache-twirling. Tons of expository dialogue. The absolute worst though is that the TE ship threatens "the whole of all universes." Given there are an infinite number of them, if any one act could cause the mycelial network to die, it would have happened already.

I'm giving that episode a 10. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Everything about this episode was damn exciting. I haven't felt that way for an action oriented episode in a long time.

 

[MarsWeeps]

Wow!! Loved it....10/10 from me. Also glad to see Detmer and Airiam get some screen time. I hope the final 2 episodes are as good as this one!

 

[starri]

That. Was. AWESOME.

 

[KennyB]

Holy Batshit that was good. Didn’t see a couple of those things coming. Next week looking good too.

 

[Romulan_spy]

So I am pretty sure the show will hit the reset button on the whole "Klingons win the war" cliffhanger by having the Discovery, after a suitable amount of drama and action, eventually time travel back 9 months and fix everything. Considering that the Federation being almost taken over completely by the Klingons is not canon in the prime universe. But maybe this is proof that we are not in the Prime universe yet?

 

[Tuskin38]

This would have made a good season finale, but we still have 2 episodes hm

 

[trek.]

I found it fitting that Lorca got impaled by the sword of gryffindor hah.

 

[starri]

Saru calling Michael "my friend" made me happy in a way I didn't expect.

 

[Lord Garth]

Stamets can give Geordi a run for his money with the technobabble.

 

[Jesse1066]

Lorca went out the moon door.

 

[CorporalClegg]

This is one of those episodes that's really good as long as you don't spend any time thinking about it. The writing was braindead on an epic scale. None the less, I was pretty riveted. And it was the first time so far that my mind never wandered.

The only thing I wonder about, though, is if they just cut off the proverbial nose to spite the face.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

I am in shock.

Well done!

 

[Shanndee]

Well...poop. We all knew where this was headed, but I had really hoped there might be a way around it.

Still, it was a solid episode.

Yep. The action was amazing. The ending was terrific. The episode was definitely fun and engaging with a lot going on. But the episode had some really cliche monologues from Lorca, predictable plot points, and nonsensical technobabble.
