Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 2x12 - "Through the Valley of Shadows"

Was I supposed to read this in Don Adams' voice?
Or was the subtle reference accidental?

 

Yes, you were

 

[spoken in best attempted Peter Cullen / Optimus Prime vocalisation]

...In a game of 3 Dimensional Chess!

One starship... one rogue AI...
3 chessboards...and most importantly of all:

No Humans!

 

Based on the trailers, I'm looking forward for this episodeca lot, way more than I did for the last few ones.

Spoiler: Trailer footage

1. First of all - and I can't belive I'm saying this - I'm kinda' ready for another look at the Klingons. Yes, I hated the season 1 arc. But they were such an integral part of the series so far - not showing them felt like someting was missing. Also, I think their revised costumes, especially the hair, really makes them look like actual Klingons, and so far I have liked EVERY episode that featured actual D7's!
2. Unrelated - in a twisted way I really dig people getting airlocked in a space-ship based SF-show. As it appears will be done to the Section 31-crew(s?). Somehow that really sells the feel this show actually takes place in space, and not a soundstage.

So yeah - my prediction: I will actually really like how this arc plays out for the most part, I will only start screaming like Shatner towards the sky in the last five minutes of the final episode, when they completely ruin their original arc and "reveal" that Control got send back in time and space and from now on tries to bring order through the galaxy from the Delta quadrant outwards. Ugh.

 

Deep breaths...I've been disappointed the last two weeks as well, but this season overall has been a lot of fun. I'm going to relax and have faith that it will tie up nicely in the end!

 

I'm just not feeling this one. I got really busy late. And I'm probably not going to get home until after 6:30, so I'm definitely going to miss the "start" for the first time. And I'm not even all that mad about it.

 

Have faith, my friend!


Optimism!

 

The link to tonight's episode popped up but it was broken.

 

Should be staring up any second now

 

I hope that's not a bad omen for the episode's quality.

 

It's on now!!

 

Sweet moment between Amanda, Spock and Michael.

It's up now

 

Alright I’m not liking the nacelles on the D7

The rest of the ship looks perfect from what I’ve seen so far.

They used the Spore Drive to get to Boreth

 

Good. Screw those bipedal apes.

 

Well I wasn’t expecting that twist.

 

Boreth=Rivendell+Mordor!

 

Just started watching. Right off the bat. How can a red signal that just appeared be labeled 4rth of seven?

 

Because it’s the 4th we’ve seen this season.
