It was. I thought it worked pretty well, though.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 4x10 - "The Galactic Barrier"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I was certain that The Wolf Inside had a longer teaser, but I just checked and this actually has it beat by a few seconds. (Unless you include the recap at the start as part of the teaser, in which case it's a second shorter.)
So yep, longest in all of Star Trek. New record!

I entirely agree.
The actual far future? Likely not. The far future as imagined by Discovery writers? Sure.
Was there not a whole episode about Nivar rejoining?
Fair point. Then Discovery is doing its job.
They're doing something. They're getting a bit better each season, but the unimpressive tech of 900 years ahead of TNG isn't one of their crowning achievements.
Agree to disagree.
I really enjoyed this episode. I found the plot advancing well thorough the episode and the story bits with Tarkas past and Mr. Saru's ill fated love-story added some depth to our characters. Tarka probably won't survive this season, though. I also liked how many different characters got to add their own twist into the story at least with a few lines, though I think president Rillak was the main character here. I also, once again, love the visuals, I think the galactic barrier looked great.
9/10 from me.

I'm fine with the sparks effect, I like it a lot more than the fire jets, but it's happening so often that it's making Discovery seem like the weakest Star Trek hero ship instead of the strongest. Though to be fair I suppose it is just a science vessel.
Another padding episode in this extremely drawn out season. Discovery crosses the Galactic barrier. It's like the teaser of a real episode, but an hour long. Five minutes of tightly written content tops, stretched out to a full episode by lots of stilted dialogue and a side quest that appears meaningless (although I'm assuming is leading to a "clever twist").
It's really trying my patience this year.

What's so strange about that? If they're creating a new show (Starfleet Academy) and they want it set on something special (in this case New Earth), why wouldn't they plan ahead? They knew Discovery was jumping to the future for a long long time before they had actually written it... So it's not a first or something special.
We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if Earth gets destroyed this season to set up Starfleet Academy.
What's even worse is that Disco alreadyd did 'extreme turns' in the 23rd century with relative ease.
By the time it got a 32nd century refit... it actually got much slower in maneuverability.
And a low level subspace field around a ship can already drop the ship's inertial mass to practically nothing which greatly enhances both sublight speeds and maneuverability (which doesn't seem to be used in the 32nd century).
If I do it won't be because of sparks falling from the ceiling, despite how clichéd that effect looks.You'll hate PIC S2E1
If Earth is destroyed the survivors should just move to one of those duplicate earths from TOS. They wouldn't even need a new CG San Francisco
On the one hand, I can't imagine a series like Discovery which is so keen on making viewers happy and showing a positive future actually destroying Earth. On the other hand, it would give all the humans on the ship lots and lots of trauma. Saru, Linus and Zora would each have to take an extra job as a counsellor help Culber deal with the workload.
But seriously, if they destroy Earth to set up Starfleet Academy I'm going full Char Kais on that show. With graphs.
I think there was only one true duplicate, in miri. Then there was the Roman one and the one after a USA/URSS war, but topographically they were different.If Earth is destroyed the survivors should just move to one of those duplicate earths from TOS. They wouldn't even need a new CG San Francisco
