King Kebab Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Believe it or not I thought that was another great episode, although nothing but plot and situation setting-up happened with absolutely no action, I think it augers well for the finale, where I think some serious shit is going to go down!!! As an aside, has Michelle Yeoh had some disastrous plastic surgery or is she in Gary Oldman/Darkest Hour style make-up, I seem to remember her as being quite hot but she now looks like her face has melted!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm the opposite. Head-in-hands, Oh my God this is just getting worse. Plot Twists! Back from the dead! More plot twists! It's like watching the latter series of 24 again. I am so sad about Star Trek: Disco. It could have been excellent, but it's just trashy Sci Fi. Even Dark matter had more gravitas than this drivel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Didn't like that at all. No coherent narrative, plot holes galore, the old Star Trek trope of forgiving people for heinous crimes very easily, and a rubbish "twist" that was shot as if nobody knew who was going to appear on the bridge. A shame, as I've enjoyed the series so far, in the main. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 That whole episode felt rushed. I think they should have had them getting home from the MU to find out they'd lost the war as the cliffhanger for the end of the series. They seem to have written themselves into a corner and not left enough time to finish the series properly and now they're running out of time. I hope the next episode manages to give a satisfying ending before setting up the nest season. "Good" Lorca being rescued from Qo'nos, anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well that was a big letdown!!!The best part of it was the last 30 seconds and the end credits theme!!!Oh and finding out the fun fact that Klingons have two pissholes!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It was all a bit Goody Two Shoes Starfleet schmaltz really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 So Qo'nos has a hydro-bomb on it that is live and could wipe out the planet attached to the Klingon womans life so what happens when she dies? Hoping the ending means we're getting traditional star trek from S2 onwards... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Bit of an anti-climax. Agree that seeing the Enterprise & old theme was the best bit. Was kind of hoping for a TNG-type cliffhanger. We ended up with an ending like from the original films where everyone gets a medal & applauded by Star Fleet.

Antiochas III Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Tbh Episode 1 should have been episode 15. The first 14 episodes should have been world building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Bit of a disappointment that. Even the medals stuff - let's totally ignore the other crew and not even say their names but we'll let Burnham have the floor for however long she wants it. Star Trek has always suffered from telling us about stuff rather than showing us stuff and the ending seemed to fall into that category. And the clunky exposition about the spore drive was very poor. The ending was interesting though. Does Saru take over or is Lorca maybe on the Enterprise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the look between Sarek and Burnham when the Enterprise appeared. Spock is supposed to be on there, but I have a feeling that might be at least part of what S2 will be about, a search for Spock, if you will.* *sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yeah I know, but you'd imagine the producers will be wanting Jason Isaacs back. He was clearly the "name" actor they needed, warranting an "and" in the credits and having his name listed when he wasn't even in an episode. I'd like him back too tbh. I wonder if Bruce Greenwood (or even Zachary Quinto) will make a cameo on board the Enterprise at the start of s2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Head in hands. Even at the end. I hate to say it, but Voyager was better. And I hate Voyager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Really enjoyed season one, not the most trekky but a good a sci fi and nowhere near as boring as TNG. Only real moan is what they've done to the Klingons, it wasn't broken and didn't need fixed. Real Lorca as the new Captain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Whatever/whoever it is the Enterprise is running from, it was an emergency distress call they put out to Discovery wasn't it, or did I pick that up wrong??? Whatever the unknown enemy/opposition is, reckon they'll have Lorca locked up somewhere, this new Vulcan Captain gets the chop quite quickly and Lorca slips back into the chair!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looking at those tweets, bringing back Gary7 is a really good idea, it would probably be a better story than the Harry Mudd arc anyway!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
