Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 3x13 - "That Hope Is You, Part 2"

Just because They used the entire Classic TOS main theme over the end credits.... 9.
(the rest of the episode was pretty damn good too)

My one disappointment..., Osyrra didn't die a horribly painful death.


Also, DISCOVERY's secondary hull is HUGE on the inside ... at this point, I can live with that.

 

That was...anti-climatic. I dunno, just felt so rushed and the plot wasn't as good as last week. Also really had to roll my eyes at those over emotional moments...its just too saccharine.

 

So I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of DSC but I did like this one. Especially the last 10 minutes. I hope the focus on season 4 is the crew finally bringing hope to former federation worlds.

• I’m glad they remembered to go back and commission the earth space station guy
• Captan Michael is better than captain Tilly
• The turbo lifts are ridiculous
• Name dropping voyager at least twice in the ep was great (my fav series)
• I’m in IT and wish if I did a major rollback of an OS everything including any 800 year advanced upgrades would just work automatically on the old system like that lol

 

Lowering my head in remembrance for all the DOTs lost in action. I love you all...

Go Kaminar! Look at all those electric lights!

Osyraa's mileage wasn't helped by her six-valved heart. You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

The Data Core reminded me of Mother on the Nostromo. Splat! guns don't work there.

Yeah...about those turbolift shafts being as roomy as Spacedock...um...anyone?

 

So does Starfleet recruit all the empathic Kwejian to become spore drive operators? Does Booker's newfound ability create conflict with Stamets?

Also, how do you give us a redshirt and not kill the redshirt?

 

so it would appear that wasn't true lol

 

Were the workings of turbolifts in the 'old' series really that much more believable? That you could enter a turbolift from any point in the ship and just say 'bridge' and it would take you to the bridge? We know DSC is a huge ship: is it that hard to imagine that there's an open space where the turbolifts take their correct position?

 

I enjoyed it. The innerspace of the ship is so dumb but I don't really care. I was a bit disappointed Osyraa died. She was a pretty good villain when she was being pragmatic and not a cartoon character.

I really would love a reintegration of the Federation as the overarching storyline of Season 4.

I would like more time with Adira and Gray. They are underdeveloped as hell, and while I am glad they gave us Gray's story arc, I don't really feel I know him otherwise. And after resolving their being a joined human, Adira's only issues seem to be their use of pronouns, resolved instantly. Staying on that family, Culber's role is fantastic. What a shift from fridged love interest!

Stamets, however, is getting super tedious. Burnham and Vance were right. I find it so annoying that he's bitter about having to sacrifice. As opposed to most of the crew, he got to keep his family with him when coming to the future. He gained a bigger family there. Now he's mad at his commander that he almost lost them? I understand during the heat of it, but afterward? What an asshole. I guess that fits with his base character, though.

 

Well in that tng ep where Picard gets stuck in the turboliftwith those kids, at least it looks like an elevator shaft and not like the mines of Mustafar (where’s anakin) lol

 

7am North East USA .... about to watch it now after spending all day yesterday watching people try to overthrow my country.

I really need to live inside 24th century Trek after 2020 in America.

 

I don't know about you but to me, it felt like a finale finale... Everything his hunky-dory, Michael finally got her captaincy, Saru is back to Kaminar, everything is good...

I am wondering is there a fourth season in the offing?

 

32nd century...

 

Its filming right now. But apart from Adira + Grey - and Stamets + Michael - It finally feels like the baggage of the first two seasons is gone.

Discovery can now tell new stories, move forward, and the Federation can re-connect and start to improve the lives of all planets in the galaxy.

 

Yeah, but they need a new foe... unless they plan to deserialize the series and make it more like TOS for example...with self-contained episodes.

 

It was an enjoyable episode for me. It was nice to be proven wrong. I thought Booker might not survive this season. It's good to see him alive.

I did a Google search on the mining vessel Coloma's name. I got one entry at Wikipedia. Coloma is the name of a California town where in 1848 gold was discovered, leading to the Gold Rush.

Coloma, California - Wikipedia

 

I would not be adverse to more self-contained stories.
But I think it would be better to try to tell a serialised story that is not centred around an adversary. That trope has been played out a lot through the JJ and Kurtzman era.

I would like no mystery box, and no adversary. But telling a story of the Federation tackling hundreds of years of perceived neglect, rebuilding personal and political relationships. And maybe even an undercurrent of those worlds who feel things were better after The Burn, and without a strong Federation.

 

That Kilgore suit is the most famous suit ever in a film (and certainly the most durable :-) )

 

Loved it, gave it a 10. Some great action this episode. Now I'm looking forward to exploring this time period next season, finding out what happened to all the other galactic powers.
