Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x02 - "New Eden"

[Commander Richard]

M. Night Shyamalan?

The Twilight Zone?

Stargate SG-1?

A status quo Trek adventure?

All of the above?​

At the very least, it's got Captain Pike settled in, a planetside adventure and it promises to advance the season's arc. It was also directed by Jonathan Frakes.

[Lord Garth]

Barbara Eden approves. I have it on good word that Jeannie gives "New Eden" an 11.

 

[Midquest]

So, I'm going to guess that something goes wrong with Tilly's experiment, sending the asteroid from last episode plummeting toward the planet?

 

[Tuskin38]

Shouldn't this be pinned?

 

[KirkusOveractus]

I'm looking forward to this one! The promo Netflix released gives it a TOS vibe, along the lines of "This Side of Paradise" coupled with the Original Series situation of a human colony, but the Discovery crew has no idea how they got there!

The preview gave me ugly memories of the Enterprise episode "North Star" lol. Hopefully this is much better than that,,, dreadful episode.

I thought about that, too! I'm hoping that it has a bit more to it than "North Star" as well!

It is not hard to be better than bad ENT.

Whenever people insist that the writers of Trek shows should be diehard fans, I remember that David Goodman gave us Precious Cargo and North Star (the former being one of the worst Trek episodes ever, IMO).

John Logan (Die hard TNG fan) gave us ST:NEM - and remember the scene with the Romulan Fighter flying through the corridors of the Scimitar? That was thought up by both Logan and Spiner and they BOTH thought it was a great scene.

And they were right, it was.
NEM had a lot of problems, that scene was not one of them.

Oh please a fighter spacecraft FLYING THROUGH the corridor of a capital ship. It was ridiculous and ludicrous.

 

[Hythlodeus]

Well, tbf, it was an especially huge ass capital ship and a very small fighter spacecraft.

And it was something original for Star Trek, we hadn't seen before. Which was welcome in a movie that was basically a Greatest Hits Remastered album

 

[The Habs Fan]

Oh please a fighter spacecraft FLYING THROUGH the corridor of a capital ship. It was ridiculous and ludicrous.

I remember reading the leaked Nemesis script and thinking that scene would be very cool to see but I was very disappointed to see how it was depicted on screen. I feel Nemesis was let down by the Director more than anything.

 

[Tuskin38]

Huh I didn't know the Nemesis script was leaked.

My PVR has Discovery at only 1 hour, so New Eden here might be the typical 40 minute episode.

"North Star" was OK. "Terra Nova", not so much.

It was ridiculous and ludicrous.

That's why it was awesome.

I think that's from last season. He's slimmed down now.

I don't think so, look at Burnham. She has her badge and rank. He only directed episodes where she was a specialist.
