Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x04 - "Face the Strange"

[F. King Daniel]

Lots of technobabble in this one,. but a fun episode reminding everyone of Voyager's "Shattered" and others. The best bits were Michael's younger self, and the reminders of how angsty everyone was in season 1. Yes, you're more mentally healthy and stable now but to me at least, you're not as much fun to watch as you were.

Healthy people are not fun to watch?

Fascinating.

To me, no. Unhinged, unstable people are my thing.

YMMV.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The ship frame itself was not top secret, nor was the design. It was redone on the inside for the spore drive experiments.

Only a shame Michael didn't mention a stardate for that period.

I mean, I get it, but it's quite the stark contrast that this one is preferred over another, rather than any other mix of it.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Really like this one. Sucker for time travel shenanigans. Loved seeing the DISCO blues and Michael's short 'do. More Stamets is always a plus.

I love how Reno just buys Rayner's story and doesn't get into a snark-off about how different his uniform is if he's just another Starfleet officer on temporary assignment. Then just goes off.

Also, good to see the OG bridge crew back again. I see the "B" team is in play for the next episode,

 

[Amasov]

Well, that episode was lots of fun.

Action Saru. Doctor Truffles. What other names has Reno come up with?

"It will be a long road..." But her time is finally here.

Her jibe about him being in a time loop was hilarious.

Jett Reno's unspoken philosophy: "Looks too different or weird or both and out of place? Not my problem if it isn't blocking my way to the engine access panels."

Hmm.. am i the inly one who thought of Calypso with the future jump?

You, us, the writers....

Yup, same shit as always.

My first thought was: OH, WOW, THEY'RE FINALLY TYING "CALYPSO" TO THE MAIN SERIES CONTINUITY. That was rapidly shot down when Zora revealed what year it now was and talked about the Progenitors' tech but for a moment I thought the writers actually came full circle and slotted "Calypso" into the current continuity.

No, but you can see the direction Zora is going (with the music) towards "Calypso"
