Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x07 - "Light and Shadows"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I get that and it’s an admirable goal. But it still seems unnecessary to me for them just add that in for dramas sake.
T'Pol said something to Archer and Tip very early on when queried about why she never went out beyond the Vulcan embassy that all their recreational needs were handled at the compound. So they have recreation, they just are very Vulcan about it.Still sounds recreational to me!
Sorry...back to DSC now!
All kal-toh, all night long.
The one on the left reminds me of this...Next week spoilers
Whoever is playing these two Talosians, they look very familiar, but I don't know where I've seen them before
(and even looks a bit like James Arness)

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. Another TOS callback.
PS: I have a huge freakin' crush on Detmer.
I liked it, gave it an 8.
Like how Georgieu accidentally on purpose, grazed Michael's arm with the phaser, getting even for the sucker punch from earlier on.
Kinda-sorta disappointed in Peck's Spock at the moment.
So much irrational droning, it's hard to see just how well he can play the part.
Hopefully next weeks episode will give us a better feel for Peck's portrayal if he becomes a bit saner.

Trip and Malcolm did it first. Everybody else learned it from them.
I'm not saying I nerdgasmed when Talos IV popped up on the shuttlecraft computer screen, but let's just say I have my reality just as the show has its illusion.
Observations from the next time trailer:
- Young Spock appears to witness the Red Angel while laying in bed, or at least on a bedroll.
- Culber fighting Tyler! Airiam in the background looking rather disinterested.
- The surface of Talos IV looks disappointingly like a quarry versus the alien world of pinnacles and flowers from The Cage.
- Young Michael in a woodland getting attacked by a big thing. Green grass. Doesn't really look like Vulcan?
- We seem to see Earth getting...nuked?
- The exploding planet seems to have a giant Starfleet delta on it, though maybe that's accidental.
Ah....thanks. I'll have to watch all of ENT at some point.
It's nice to see that these shuttlecraft have a lot of physical buttons, knobs and switches and keep the touchscreen interfaces to a minimum. The control panel didn't have a "JETTISON FUEL" switch with appropriate label, though, so the episode loses points.
I LOVE that. I think the shuttles are my favorite ships from this show, by far.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the first time we've seen a Federation starship using security cameras apart from the occasions in which they needed to recap the action from a previous movie or episode. Other than that, it seems like there's been a definite dearth of security cameras in Starfleet, even though I can think of several occasions in which they would have come in handy. Of course, it makes sense that an organization like Section 31 would be be more into putting cameras everywhere.
I'm really excited to see Talos IV next week.
I thought the same thing, though I recall Cornwall mentioning that they'd picked up traces of tachyons during one of the red bursts in "Saints of Imperfection," so I'm assuming that's how they reached the conclusion that the Red Angel is a time traveler, but I don't know how they can be sure that it's definitely from the future and not from a more technically advanced culture from the past.
Oh, yeah, it does look a bit like him. Coincidentally, I just watched him playing the baddie in the second Alien Nation TV movie earlier this week. Personally, I thought of Robert Foxworth when I saw the more masculine looking Talosian, but I doubt its him either.

I'm a little less excited about the updated Talosian look, but at least it's nowhere near as drastic as the Klingon redesign...it's closer to the difference between the TOS and TNG Romulans.

The one on the left looks a bit like Leon Russom, who played the Starfleet C--in-C in ST:VI and an admiral in DS9 - The Die is Cast.

I doubt it's actually him, but that's who it reminded me of.

I recognize the face, but I can't think of what his name is. It's been bugging the heck out of me for the past few hours. He's one of those guys with a bazillion TV guest spots. He plays a lot of grumpy bureaucratic types - government suits, school administrators, and the like.
(*Cough*) Lazarus. (*Cough*COUGH*)
He just wanders around the Enterprise getting into trouble and stealing dilithium crystals, knocking a transporter chief unconscious in the process and setting off a deliberate ventilation system malfunction that fills part of one deck with noxious fumes or smoke. Some security cameras or working sensors would have been a big help the couple of days or so that Lazarus and his antimatter universe counterpart were on the ship.
