Everything is offline no?
Made it through the first three quarters. I can get through the last quarter. I can make it. I'll make it.
But starting next week, I'll watch episodes in the morning. The morning morning.
I have more thoughts, but I can't type for shit right now. I'm so tired.

Not too bad this week. Felt a bit Firefly-ish in the saloon scenes but liked how they are really getting the rest of the crew involved more now, and seems like we're going to get a story with Detmer, so can't wait to see how that evolves...or devolves...depending which way they go with her.
Got to the end.
It felt like a Western. I liked that.
The characters acted the way I expected them to.
I noticed a parallel to "Context Is for Kings" at the end.
What's going on with Detmer?
The situation on the Discovery felt appropriately claustrophobic.
Some people think S3 of DSC will be like Andromeda but I disagree. This episode feels more like Cowboy Bebop.
All in all, I have no idea what I'm going go rate this, I'm too tired to think straight, but I'm guessing a number between 7 and 10. I can't wait to find out why I'm supposed to hate this.
Night!

Notes as I watch the second episode:
* Starting off good. Oh wait, no, this is an advertisement for Fleet Command
* Crash landing! Get that action out of the way early.
* Ow... there goes Detmer's back.
* Oh, she's fine. Round of applause for everyone. Err... maybe not. Definitely not.
* Commander Georgiou probably won't be taking too kindly to being sidelined by Commander (soon-to-be Captain) Saru
* Don't know when you are? C'mon Tilly & Culber, do some quantum dating.
* Get back to work, Culber. Also, I get it. Detmer is not fine.
* Language, Tilly! Also, Nhan is an engineer again. There goes my "she was always a security chief, just pretending to be an engineer" theory. Unless Saru is still convinced.
* Yes, Reno, I gather your back hurts. That's your defining character trait now.
* Gene the Hazmat guy cleaning up Leland's bits and pieces is probably the fourth or fifth character named after Gene Roddenberry.
* So, Saru is carrying on the 23rd century custom of a Captain abandoning ship to go on a very dangerous landing party. Who's in charge? Rhys? I expect pieces of him will be on Georgiou's shoe when they return.
* "First Contact" - cut to commercial break ("Vote No on the Politician's Tax Hike Amendment!" "Vote Yes on the Fair Tax Amendment!")
* Nhan/Georgiou shippers, to your stations! Scratch that... Linus/Georgiou shippers to your...
* Tilly has way too much hair. I don't know why I'm noting this now. It just seems unruly.
* Are they on Coridan? The answer is No, but they are Coridans.
* "We have dilithium" - I think she broke Saru's makeshift temporal prime directive just now.
* "Send in Airiam 3.0, I mean Nilsson"
* "Maybe I'm Starfleet material" - Maybe you won't survive the episode.
* Showdown at the Colony Corral. RIP Kal (he hasn't died yet, I'm just going to copy-and-paste that soon when it happens, after my video stops buffering).
* And then... oh, hold on... "RIP Kal"
* Anyway, they figured out about them as time travelers. I'm liking this Zara fellow. He doesn't pull his punches.
* Tellarite Exchange. "V'draysh Captain". So, they're all speaking "the Common tongue" (except for the ones speaking Pidgin) and not whatever with a Universal Tongue? Eh...
* 150 Units... Why do I have a feeling that Saru doesn't know what a unit is?
* "Okay, sweetheart?" - Uh oh, Zara is being sexist. Guys, I don't think he's going to be our newest long-term cast member, sadly.
* Okay, Zara is shooting Space Hitler with a Space Stun Gun. I guess he's a good guy again. Too bad the show likes Space Hitler better.
* Nice Kano neck snap. That guy was on your side a minute ago, Philippa. But, oh well, he was a nameless goon, I guess.
* I think I have some parasitic ice in my fridge. It infects all my ice cream, eventually.
* I don't know what the heck Paul is doing? Don't they have robots for that kind of stuff.
* Zara: "I am ordering you to shoot them, and not me, by threatening your family and livelihood even though you can clearly just shoot me instead and keep them alive and also not suffer to be under a protection racket again."
* Saru: "We won't kill him. You can though."
* Coridan: "I won't kill him. It's the Starfleet way. Now, Zara, go out into the wilderness with no way to survive and clearly be killed by parasitic ice creatures. Here's a glass of water."
* Saru: "We have no choice but to lift off in this precarious situation. Let's break clear of the ice and crash land a few hundred kilometers to the east. Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll aim for the equator."
* Cliffhanger Michael with the long-hair. One year out. She'll always be a year older than them now. Welcome to 3189.
ETA:
* "Ensign Hazmat" - even the credits forgot his name is Gene.

8, this week.
Hopefully Control didn’t get inside Detmer’s implant.
That was one nasty weapon.
Weird coincidence that I was just watching a bunch of NYPD Blue episodes Wednesday night and Jake Weber was in one of the episodes. And he shows up on Discovery today.

Well I knew we'd have to play catch up this week on Discovery.......I enjoyed it but it was def down from last week. Side note from next week.........I don't like the idea of Admiral Philippa Georgiou. THat takes away some of my happiness about Saru. Going with a 6 this week.
How many of them stayed on the ship? Looks like the entire crew. I just thought it was the senior staff. Seems rather silly that many would throw away their lives.
It was an okay episode but mostly filler. Still not getting a future vibe yet. They seemed to think Dilithium is a power source but that was never the case.

Think I might have preferred that to the premiere, but only slightly. Both absolutely solid entries. The A-plot was probably on the weaker side, but that was easily made up for by some fantastic character interactions.
The rest of the season could just be Stamets, Culber and Reno bickering and I’d watch the whole thing with glee.

Argh, can't watch this right now...this has to wait until after work

I'm fine with the idea that people in the future were a bit lazy (what with the "final frontier" moving into time travel technology) and just kept using dilithium as a power conductor near-universally, as it mirrors our own society's use of gasoline far, far longer than the point in which we should've dropped it in favor of something else, anything else.[/gets off soapbox]
But anyway, Reno was talking last year of the need to get away from dilithium and the cruelty it enforced on the galaxy with dilithium mining (cut to: Voyager utilizing those EMHs for silly reasons), which I assume was a taste of what was to come with this season. But if dilithium is already talked about as a cruel, limited, fossil fuel-esque source in the 2250s... why would Tilly (an engineer) expect dilithium to be the near-universal power conductor in the 3180s?

I’m hoping some version of Control survived. Otherwise their entire trip to the future would have been pointless.
Assuming Detmer's problem has to be with her tech. You wouldn't think the doctor would have overlooked that though.
I love Jett despite knowing that she's obviously there only for the quips. The "cleanup on aisle 5 bit" was probably the first time I've really laughed at a joke in a Star Trek show since DS9.

That makes no sense...........it would be pointless if a part of Control DID survive.
