I actually really like the alien May-And so nice to see Amanda, Tyler, L'Rell and especially Georgiou! I like where the story is going- the Klingon stuff is too scary sometimes but the characters are so good!
 
Look what’s in the store already

Section 31 spinoff show was only announced now by the trades as a ploy by CBS to encourage investors and potential subscribers about the 'health' of STD and CBSAA.

It's the same scheme as when Paramount announced ST4 with Pine and Hemsworth during the week before Star Trek Beyond's release.

It's a classic studio or network PR move.

Whether the series actually happens is TBD.

Ditch the Section 31 show and lets's follow Pike and Number One on some original 5 year missions.
 
I give it an eight. Very happy to see Amanda again. L’Rell is hard core. She’ll sacrifice her child and the person she loves for a unified Klingon empire. Not sure I like where the Tilly thing is going or the Section 31 stuff. We shall see if it pays off. It did last season though. So not too worried. I am exhausted by how much drama they pack into 1 ep!

Discovery gave us some new things to explore in season 1 besides the tired themes that TNG gave us and that we get to see again in DS9, VOY, ENT, and now that cheap ripoff Orville. I was actually happy to see they didn’t totally abandon Discovery.
 
I like exterior Qo’noS if only if someone would turn on the sun.

Also anyone recognize the symbol on this guy’s outfit? It seems familiar.

Their main problem was they often made Qonos seem like a single relatively small room that Gowron hung out in. TNG just had no sense of scale when it came to Klingon politics.
Which is why I'm glad that we have a regularly appearing character entrenched in the Klingon culture. With L'Rell, we will be able to go there regularly and hopefully see more of Q'onos, the Empire and it's culture.

I can agree with that, but my problem with Klingons is I just don't care about the politics at all. Even when well done. I don't know what it is about them, but I really just never want to see a Klingon ever ever again in any form or incarnation.

You know this, but TNG was a product of it's time. They used paintings instead of CGI, and didn't have 10 Million dollars per episode to waste back then.
 
I hate it when sci-fi characters who see lots of weird sh-- suddenly believe the weird thing they're seeing is a trick of the mind. I hope the show makes it clear the spore impaired Tilly's judgment because not telling anyone about May was stupid.

And why did Michael also believe her vision was her imagination? Sheesh. After all the mycelial tripiness, too.

Aside from that, I loved the episode. This is what I liked about season 1. Can't wait to see what happens next.
 
Apparently there was also a severed baby head in TNG Sub Rosa?

Coincidentally that aired today, 25 years ago.

I'm over the Short-Tempered Stoic Noble Warrior Alien trope in general. Outside of Trek, whenever Stargate SG-1 dipped in Jaffa culture/politics I wanted to shoot myself. And it just got worse as the series went on, what with the "Jaffa Nation" or whatever it was. Ugh.

Wrong. Michelle Yeoh doesn't allow her name to get used into fake titles that aren't going to happen to appease a failing franchise. If she's in on this, she wants to be, and she did not come cheap. Crazy Rich Asians made a quarter billion at the box office.

But of course, we know why you don't like the show. Doesn't have to be said. We know. Go on, let it out.

Well, that's like Doctor Who without the Daleks. It's fine that you don't like them, but they are such an ingrained part of the mythos that their absence would be more conspicuous than their presence.
