Spoilers The game changing Voq theory
- Thread starter SJA
- Start date
To be fair, with anyone OTHER than Trek fans, I think this reveal would have been never figured out and I'm certainly not spoiling my wife.
To be honest, if I hadn't come here and read the theory, I might not have picked up on it just from the show. I mean, I was wondering why it was taking so long to introduce Shazad Latif's character when he's billed as a regular, but that was about it. The billing shenanigans and lack of PR on the actor playing Voq, however, that I learned about here, definitely tipped me over into the convinced column.
To be fair, it's probably obvious to anyone who's watched American television and movies in a conscious state for more than a few years. These writers are not inventive.
A main character turning out to be a traitor isn't "inventive" but it's certainly a good plot.
No, these writers certainly aren't as inventive as the writers on another current sci-fi show who so far have only ripped off old Star Trek episodes.
One thing I've learned as an author and reviews. If you truly hate something, let it fall to obscurity.
Is anyone else thinking that Admiral Cornwell might be a Klingon agent? It would explain how the Klingons knew where to find Lorca and had so much intel on him and Discovery.
While possible, it should be noted that in this version of the Klingon Empire, all of the Klingon Great Houses have a hat.
House Mokai seems to be female dominated and handles the intelligence service of the Empire.
Also, Lorca mentions he's been using the Discovery as the frontline of the Federation to the point the other Admirals think he's overdoing it.
I don't know about the Admiral, but I'm pretty certain Starfleet must have spies in its midst for this to happen.
Klingons aren't stupid, they just act that way.
Is this a typo, or is there a meaning of the word hat I'm not familiar with.
Seriously, I actually am laughing out loud as I try to write this, trying imagine these Klingons in fedoras and fezes.
I can't remember exactly, but I'm sure it was stated that discovery has engaged the Klingons via the Spore drive twice or three times since Corvan II. That doesn't seem like enough time to be able to ascertain who its captain is, or that he has a weakness to intense light and from memory l'rell seemed to know a lot about the intricacies of the spore drive (need to watch the episode again to be sure on that).
It would make sense for the Admiral to be a klingon spy considering House Mokai is female dominated and in charge of spook stuff.

It's from TV tropes.org which talks about "Planet of Hats" where in Star Trek every alien race has a "thing" they're good at above everyone else like Gangster Planet or Nazi Planet or Logic Planet.
While it's true that The Orville writers are more creative thus far than anyone on Discovery, it would be just as accurate to say that the writing on Discovery is not up to the quality of any random episode of CSI:Miami.
So far, they've created a 9-hour movie which is all feeding together into a seamless whole.
You spend quite a lot of time posting in the forum of a show you dislike.
