Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x05 - "Saints of Imperfection"

[Spider]

Lord of the Trees/The Mad Goblin. Made me go "squee" when I discovered it as a lad.

When I was a kid, I bought a ton of those old Ace Doubles. I used to devour those things. I still have a few that I keep as personal collectibles.

 

[Hythlodeus]

page 5 and not one second of the show actually aired. I'm so proud of all of you. I mean it. I'm proud

 

[Lord Garth]

It's up.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Yeoh is owning it.

Sssss....

 

[Lord Garth]

Nice pre-credit sequence. Pike's a good tactician. Then the other stuff I won't say yet.

 

[Gepard]

Another Spocktease. I don't know if I want to laugh or scream.

 

[CorporalClegg]

It's like that time I drove my car into a snowbank.

 

[Lord Garth]

Another Spocktease. I don't know if I want to laugh or scream.

I want to laugh, to be honest. This is getting ridiculous.

Then again, Georgiou is the one who made her grand entrance, so I'm good. But still... it's like a Season Running Gag.

 

[Gepard]

"I'm heading up Section 31...I see you've met one of my agents."


Uuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's like the US Government putting a Las Vegas style neon sign outside Area 51.

 

[Turtletrekker]

This is the first continuity issue I've seriously had with the show. I can see an officer like Pike perhaps becoming aware of section 31, but it's far too publicly known and now officially sanctioned by Starfleet?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Insignia communicator!

 

[Tuskin38]

Also I thought Pike said Nhan was an engineer, why is she chief of security?

 

[Lord Garth]

I'm glad Georgiou put Burnham right in her place and reminded her she didn't ask to be brought into this Universe.

Maybe at this time it is officially sanctioned but by the 24th century it’s further underground. For example, maybe they do something very bad and it’s exposed (maybe it comes close to starting a war) and Starfleet is forced to disavow and dismantle Section 31. But secretly except to a select few, it still operates. We haven’t seen it in the 23rd century. It could be more like Starfleet Inteigence at this point and then not officially sanctioned and more secretive 100 years later.

I guess we're just going to have to get used to Section 31 being as well known as the CIA, in this show's take on Trek lore.

 

[Hythlodeus]

how is Nhan the new security chief? wasn't she from engineering?

 

[Lord Garth]

24th Century Starfleet would have a much harder time accepting Section 31 than a 23rd Century Starfleet would. So I can see Section 31 going deeper underground later on and having those who have heard of it thinking of it as something of the past.

 

[Tuskin38]

I guess we're just going to have to get used to Section 31 being as well known as the CIA, in this show's take on Trek lore.

In this century, something could cause them to become disavowed

 

[Lord Garth]

"Oh that old trick!"

 

[Spider]

For me at least, the best show of the season is still the second one. Discovery is just not grabbing me this season.
