Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x11 - "Perpetual Infinity"

[Gepard]

Is Control the birth of the Borg? That sure seemed like an assimilation sequence.

Sure did, didn't it.

Nanoprobes? Check
Green lighting? Check
Black crawling veins spreading under the skin? Check.

Then again, I was convinced the Red Angel was a Preserver, so...

My friend thought he heard some of the music motifs from Calypso, i didn’t notice.

Someone needs to put Terminator music over the Leland fight.

It was an okay episode but it didn’t explain how she was able to move the church from Earth, or how she was able to revive Mike. I was hoping the theory that her parents were from the future was true. It would make the advances in the Angel suit more believable in this time period.

I seriously doubt it. That would be unnecessarily contrived.
Also, the Borg is a mix of biological and mechanical parts. This is just pure mechanical. More Skynet than Borg Queen.

[PixelMagic]

That would be unnecessarily contrived.

Have you ever watched Discovery?

 

[Tuskin38]

So does she not actually know about the red signals?

 

[mswood]

Can’t be birth of the Borg unless time travel as Borg were around at least 800 years before Voy

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Leland. Definitely not Swedish.

Upload speed of the Sphere Data seemed about 3Mbps...

 

[thribs]

Have you ever watched Discovery?

Ha! True but this is taking it to a new level. The Star Trek Online level. They love to combine two random ideas into one there. Usually with the Iconians.

True but remember time travel is involved.

This is nothing like STO

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

This is nothing like STO

And for that, we can all be thankful.

 

[thribs]

This is nothing like STO

I know. There stories are usually more enjoyable.
I just mean they like to combine different plot points into one over there as well.

I'd say that was a middling episode at best. Connecting from last week to what happens now, but I can't help but feel like this season has a whole just took a turn to the chaotic. You have control, Section 31, the red angel who doesn't know about the 7 signals, and I'm actually starting to lose the story a little bit. Everything feels so jumbled that if someone were to ask me what this season was about, I'm not sure if I would be able to tell them.

This gets a 6 from me. It was ok, but we're at the end of the season and I feel as confused as ever.

 

[thribs]

I don’t get why Control needs that data to become sentient. It already seems so. Plus it is already pretty powerful.

 

[Tuskin38]

And for that, we can all be thankful.

I like STO

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Even Spock's expansive imagination would be hard pressed to understand what Michael is going through. Poor Burnham...

It's fitting that Stamets was the one to support her and shield her prior to the evacuation. He, too, had lost his dearest love. And got him back. And had to let him go...

 

[Q2UnME]

Not really feeling this one. Didn’t resonate well with me. Probably because I only heard about 40% of the dialogue ( really noisy here, trying to watch on the road). Still, felt like all setup with no payoff. 7/10

 

[Tuskin38]

What did the next time on trailer show?
