I watched S05 E03 but have no real memory of it

Trill mindmeld and cloaking monster and puzzle piece something something something (why have Klingons disappeared in the 32nd century?). It's still bad but now I'm stuck and have to finish the season.
Amazing how the then-seemingly-bad first couple of seasons seem solid in comparison, at least you had Jason Patrick and Space Hitler chewing scenery.

S3 was really weird and the plot is feeling horribly clumsy. It seems to basically be turning into zelda triforce fetchquest. Ugh.
Oh and as someone on IMDB pointed out, whats the point of finding any of this now when they had a Genesis device in S3 of Picard?

Sorry I meant EP 3, dammit.

But having said that - Culber-as-Jinraal was pretty fun, Wilson Cruz acted that up really well, and I liked how it was a callback to when all the DS9 crew had to go around manifesting Curzon and all Dax's other peeps.

oh man the actor who manifested joran(?) for ezri in DS9 s07 was almost unbearably over-the-top

Was he the serial killer one the whole point it was for? I cant actually remember it now lol, and I only watched it last year.

Joran, the pick-me serial killer

Discovery this season seems like a video game, collect all the pieces of the puzzle type quest. The graphics seem kinda gamey too cf Michael surfing on a spaceship in a "warp bubble".

So, I thought I didn't enjoy last nights episode for various reasons, but...it turns out its one of the most liked/popular of the show!? Clearly I missed something. All I kept thinking was "if Burnham and Stamets kept reappearing in the past how come they dont remember it happening before? Why isnt Burnham fighting herself breaking the frickin timeline? What have I missed?" Apparently the whole thing was a callback to a VOY episode called "Shattered" which completely escaped me, so ok.
Also bummed they mentioned Lorca but he was conveniently out on a mission *kicks dirt, grumbles*
The bit where Stamets was desperately trying not to fuck the timeline up by saying the wrong thing was pretty funny, tbf. Also Reno's one appearance. "ah no, are you stuck in a time loop?" *rolls eyes*

i know this is an ongoing thing but it just takes so much longer to DO LITERALLY ANYTHING on this ship in this seriez because everyone has to use the right tone & let everyone’s voice be heard and omg this episode would be half as long on a normally fuctioning ship that just fucking takes orders lol

kind of fond indulgent lol at the idea that I am invested enough in these characters and their GROWTH to welcome a time-travelling retrospective looking back on how much they've all changed
like, the robot woman who not a day goes by that we don't think about - I could barely remember her - although I looked her up and remembered that she was a completely anonymous character until she got given a back-story about 5 seconds before she was killed off
― Kraal Disorientation Chamber (emsworth), Monday, 22 April 2024 04:28 (one week ago) link
totally!

Remember Michael and Spock talking about their feelings and childhood trauma for ten important minutes when they were supposed to be saving all of human existence? lol

Haaha yes that bit was the worst. I was all "wait, did I miss an episode or 2? Who is this again!?"
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 22 April 2024 06:01 (one week ago) link
death of robot lady episode is the only thing i can remember about this show that isn't jason isaacs or michelle yeoh
did they get isaacs back for this last season - isn't his non-mirror-version unaccounted for? failure if not

Watching the time travel episode and just… why?

So, we finally see under the Breen's helmets. And apparently they can speak regular human language and not just cyborg brrtzz sounds. And have two faces?
Not sure I cared much for the "love uber alles" tone of the episode re Moll and L'ak, but hey, some interesting things thrown up by the ISS enterprise showing up and finding out what likely happened to much of its crew.
Still finding the whole fetchquesty structure a bit on the nose.

Actually I dont think I got all of the ISS storyline - was some of it from TOS? I havent seen much of that.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 27 April 2024 08:34 (two days ago) link
I think their default state is a… vapor? That’s contained by the suits and it takes effort to keep solid form? The other Breen said something like that.
I was confused by it because the entire vibe between them has been unrequited love, that she was using his puppy dog eyes to keep him as her crime partner.

Oh is that what it was! I dont know why I didnt get that lol.
