    Enterprise occasionally showed characters with a present-day style shirt and necktie, but that was the 2150s of course.

    I feel with this rogue AI story-line we're missing some good opportunities to tie things with TanRu, V'ger or the Machine Planet. I mean not everything in Star Trek has to be connected, but since this show is embracing TOS more and more, why not bring them up?

    Moms of three, I mean four (there´s also Red) colors, I might add. Michael Burnham really represents mix of enlightened Earth without prejudice :lol:.

    I did like that even though maybe on a meta level it should've suggested that the whole scene be jettisoned.

    My problem is that I felt she had grown as a character and that she is too timid sometimes such as in this episode. It's a bit overblown sometimes, a little could go a long way. She doesn't have to trip over every sentence.

    BTW, I think it´s quite clear Micheal will eventualy wear the Red Angel suit. It was obviously forshadowed in mind meld with Spock.

    John Frederick Paxton(Peter Weller) and Prime Minister Nathan Samuels of Earth(Harry Groener) come to mind as the most prominent examples.

    We have to take the good with the bad. Otherwise, we'd have to toss out a whole lot of Trek and there would be no consensus.

    But, I'm not one to talk. I don't care for TWOK.

    You’re being silly. Expecting better is not a bad thing. Saying the emperor has no clothes is not treason.

    Maybe it’s a byproduct of dealing with too many pointless haters.

    I do expect better. It just doesn't bother me if it isn't.

    This.

    I adore her but she has gotten REALLY annoying in recent episodes. They're cranking her personality up to 11 far too often for my comfort.

    Then why bother with the expectation? If nothing matters, then nothing matters. It’s one thing when fans lose their shit over something but it’s another to be displeased by it. Divorcing yourself from reality no great goal.

    That was good, once they got the Airiam's funeral out of the way (too big a scene for someobdy who only got a character last week) - good dialogue all through, Michelle Yeoh in studded leather and getting the best wind-up lines... Although the plan to lure the Angel was logically boned if Michael was the Angel, I like that they went with a logical solution without having the flag up the obvious fallacy in dialogue... As soon as they said time crystals I thought of theThe Crystal Maze...

    Next week's looks fun.
