The latest episode was great, was nice to see Mudd again, though, I don't imagine we'll see much more of him (at least this season). I like that the episodes are still some what self contained.

I'm caught up to episode 9 now. Very good so far.

Can already hear the Trekkies going mad over the 'holodeck' appearing, even though it is basically just light projections (notice how they had to take physical guns into the holodeck? Also, they couldn't be physically hit), apparently something similar appeared in The Animated Series, which was also referenced last week, with Robert April (first captain of the Enterprise, before Pike and Kirk) being mentioned as one of the most well known captain's in Starfleet.

Thought it was a great episode, I was prepared to hate Captain Lorca, but he's definitely been through a lot of ****, feel sorry for the Admiral he pretty much sent to their death.

I'm liking Sarek's appearances, I've always thought he was a pretty interesting character, especially in TNG when Picard had to mind meld with him.

Seems like we will be seeing more of the bridge from next episode on

Spoiler:

Thought it was an interesting character development, in that episode, how Lorca sent the Admiral to be captured so that he kept command of the ship.

I think that was the episode I spotted what he was doing right away.

I wondered in the prison episode if he was being a bit stupid trusting Tyler so quickly. But it looks like is messed up from the torture, and not a double-agent.

I had been waiting to see what the outcome is of using the spore drive, because we know it doesn't exist in Starfleet in future series, assuming they are sticking to the same storyline.

Back on Sunday!

It has Michelle Yeoh in it, but I just can't stomach another video sub right now -_-... Waiting for my renewal come Feb for our fiber, and I still think it could go lower. It doesn't make financial sense to sub for one show when I can just wait until I can buy the season.


:love: ♪ Michelle Yeoh ♪ :love:

It's OK. It's karma for all the games that skip you guys or you have to pay higher prices for. We're finally paying our dues to the Gods of Media

True, I remember once we had to wait 6 months for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection after America got it, usually the delay is because of localisation for Europe... but it was an old game! It didn't need localisation! :fist::laugh:

Apparently you can now watch via Amazon somehow? It doesnt have ads either!

LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
RIP Doctor ;-;

The show feels much more stable now they're in the mirror universe, I wonder if the first half was actually what remained of Bryan Fuller's vision for the show? Now it seems to have actual direction and the characters are really coming into their own. The tie in with The Original Series and Enterprise, with the Defiant is awesome too, I'm hoping we actually get to see the modified Constitution class

Scarlett. 29-01-2018 06:57 PM

This show gets better every week

Spoiler:

The whole Mirror Universe plotline could have been a film, the throne room fight was probably the best yet in Star Trek

Ramsay 30-01-2018 11:23 AM

Yeah i'm loving it!

Nicky91 30-01-2018 11:25 AM

i am loving this series as well now, Jason Isaacs slaying as
Spoiler:

Captain Lorca
, but also Sonequa is playing really well :)

Scarlett. 12-02-2018 09:05 PM

That ending!

The Enterprise looks so good! I'm glad its confirmed that TOS is getting a visual reboot, it didn't fit in with the rest of the series, even The Motion Picture.

Scarlett. 24-03-2018 10:41 PM



Bonus scene!

Apparently the dude in the video will appear in S2 too

Small production trailer

CLASSIC UNIFORMS!

Sources say the decision to oust Berg and Harberts was based not on the creative but instead for leadership and operational issues. Production on Discovery's first five episodes of season two are near completion, with Kurtzman likely taking over for episode six and beyond. Berg and Harberts, who were longtime collaborators with original showrunner Fuller, will likely still be credited on the episodes they oversaw. Sources say the budget for the season two premiere ballooned, with the overages expected to come out of subsequent episodes from Discovery's sophomore run. Insiders also stress that Berg and Harberts became increasingly abusive to the Discovery writing staff, with Harberts said to have leaned across the writers room table while shouting an expletive at a member of the show's staff. Multiple writers are said to have been uncomfortable working on the series and had threatened to file a complaint with human resources or quit the series altogether before informing Kurtzman of the issues surrounding Berg and Harberts. After hearing rumors of HR complaints, Harberts is said to have threatened the staff to keep concerns with the production an internal matter.

At first I was like "but why?" but after reading what the past showrunners were like behind the scenes, they can feck off, plus Alex Kurtzman is a decent showrunner.

Mystic Mock 26-06-2018 08:16 AM

I like this show, but it definitely showed teething problems in it's first season.

In particular I'd definitely try and get a strong male character into the programme as it just looks unrealistic that there's no high up male characters in the main cast, and I'd also not try and give Michael Main Character Syndrome, she was better when she was more cold.

Nicky91 26-06-2018 08:17 AM

Spoiler:

i hope we get to see the real Captain Lorca tbh

I think tbh that they need a couple of new male characters that will be important to the programme whilst remaining likeable and interesting. The non-mirror Lorca just doesn't sound as interesting as the Lorca that we had in season 1.

Spoiler:

yeah but maybe the real Lorca would be more likeable, and could be a good replacement captain eventually for the discovery, cuz i don't really like or trust that empress of the mirror universe, captain georgiou

Scarlett. 26-06-2018 02:09 PM

I like Stamets, he's one of my favourite characters in the show I think.

I think S1 suffered from Bryan Fuller leaving halfway through, lets just hope S2 doesn't suffer the same fate. That said, I wonder if the two who were fired actually made Fullers work worse, apparently
Spoiler:

Lorca wasn't originally from the mirror universe
in Fuller's version

Scarlett. 20-07-2018 11:30 PM

Apparently we're getting 4 standalone short films before S2

Nicky91 21-07-2018 07:07 AM

Enterprise :amazed:

Scarlett. 05-08-2018 11:20 PM

Apparently the Klingons will be getting a slight redesign (I imagine they're gonna be altered to be closer to the TNG Klingons, while still retaining some of the DSC look
