if you pause it just right..

Jokes aside, how do they rationalize that layout?

Probably the same way Dr. Who does.

if you have magic gravity floor panels that seem impervious to power cuts and inertia changes, you can build anything you want anyway you want. Im suprised the paris scene last season didn't have dozens of upside down eiffel towers because je ne sais pas

So much open space. Very wasteful

One thing I hope for before the series ends, whenever that happens: I want their version of 23rd Century Toronto on record.

 

[Bold Helmsman]

Excellent episode! Though I did find it kind of weird Pike knew about Spock and Burnham. This is the guy who didn't tell anyone on Enterprise about any of his other family until he had to

 

[Nerys Myk]

Why would Michael be a test pilot for those things? That isn’t her department at all.

She's more than a test tube jockey.

Yeah, all we see is SF or Iowa farms...

 

[Kerock]

Just saw it...loved it. Spock was a weird looking little dude.....lol.

Oh believe me, I haven't been the only one making the comparisons.

I guarantee all the YT reviews will namedrop the Orville as inspiration for the tonal change, whether you agree with that assessment or not. I know Redlettermedia already feels this way.

I don't know about the overall tonal shift but that scene in particuar definitely seemed to be a callback to The Orvillle.

Spock is a LT on Enterprise and he has a quarters worthy as an Admiral, way too large.

Higher ranks get door locks to keep prying family members out.

If Star Trek called back to / borrowed from The Orville as much as The Orville borrows from Star Trek, there would literally be inane relationship comedy/drama and 7th grade humor in every scene.

I'm not worried about Star Trek borrowing from The Orville. In fact, the whole idea seems hilariously ironic.

 

[Vger23]

I wonder if the season will continue to have flashbacks to Michael and the Sarek family, or if that was just a one episode thing.

Last season, I was convinced they'd continue to have "Michael's early days with Georgeau on the Shenzhou" flashbacks like in "Battle at the Binary Stars," but they never picked it up again and I was a little disappointed in that.

Good episode, somehow not exciting but good. They're clearly trying to send the message "We be more like Trek you know now". Maybe moving all the dark stuff to the section 31 show?

The "Not every cage is a prison" a bit of a super-obvious ref to what we know from Cage and Menagerie. Is Pike going to get paralyzed in this show? We are after Cage in this point right?

Yeah...this is about 3-4 years after the Talos mission.

 

[Tosk]

But Pike doesn't have his accident until just a few months before we meet him in The Menagerie. So he's still got years left yet.

It is after the cage, but the accident is not while Spock is serving with him. Commodore Mendez is surprised that Kirk doesn't know about Pike's accident, but neither Spock nor Kirk know until Mendez tells them:

MENDEZ: You don't know? You actually don't know what's happened to Captain Pike? There's been subspace chatter about it for months. I'm sorry to have to be the one to show you. He's upstairs in the medical section.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Sorry if this has already been brought up.but I'm not reading through another 400 posts to find out.

So, Spock already knows about the signals and the Enterprise had a catastrophic systems failure just as the Enterprise was going to study them herself? Coincidence? Or did Spock take measures to insure that he wasn't followed?

 

[DaveyNY]

He apparently had permission from Pike to use his built up vacation time to go exploring and if he didn't want to be followed, then why leave an obvious message on his computer in his quarters?

I'm thinking that he didn't have anything to do with the Enterprises' problems.

They just got close to one of the Red Thingys and it took them out.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Pretty exciting episode! I like Anson Mount as Captain Pike and knew the science stiff was toast when he started talking shit about Burnham's trajectory. My one nitpick is if the Enterprise were dead in the water, as it were, then how was it able to reach Discovery?

Also, I know we didn't get a good look at the people in the medical bay (engineer's name, I don't remember, but I like her and hope they keep her on the show!), but how cool would it be if Prime Lorca was among the injured?

Taking quotes from several different threads to establish a pattern:

Then frankly, you do not have any sort of comprehension to understand Star Trek.

Seriously have you ever watched Star Trek as well? Am I talking to a child or something? How can you honestly think he is correct? You have completely and totally missed the point of Star Trek. No wonder Discovery fans have no problem with this shit heap.

I really do wonder if Discovery fans have actually watched other Star Trek shows.

Well, thanks for proving that Discovery fanboys just want stupid action schlock with pew pew lasers and actively dislike what made the writing in other Trek shows actually interesting.

I do love how Discovery fanboys can't actually defend how bad the writing is for this show so they just result to passive aggressive going high shit.

Because Discovery fanboys can't actually engage in any level of discussion beyond "well that's just your opinion, everyone else agrees it's the best so it's the best pew pew wahoo".

Infraction for trolling. Comments to PM.

You really need to dial back the constant hostility and condescension.
