Star Trek Discovery: The Bryan Fuller TV reboot

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.

oh man i can barely watch this… feels like a parody of the most boring “planet of hessian robe-wearing villagers” ep of stargate

Was neat hearing them bring up the Denobulans seeing as I've been watching ENT recently haha. I thought it was a nice enough episode - I loved the concept of the language.

The time travel episode - first episode I've seen since the early thir season - was very mid but entertaining enough that I'll watch the rest of the season.

I think the new ST shows are going to carry on in this future world? I haven't figured out how it works yet.

It's a bit weird that they presented the whistling language as a totally alien concept when every few years NPR runs a story like

Also jarring to see Spanish presented in their funky Papyrus-y subtitle font.

On the plus side, Cronenberg with his stash of legal pads is lending more credence to that character actually being time-stranded David Cronenberg.

i liked this episode because it was mostly self-contained & about something other than them? i mean it was pretty stock standard off-world stuff but at least it’s not “manic shakeycam on the bridge”

Yeah whats the go with Cronenburg, I'm wondering if he's a Q.

feel bad for being a grump about an ep people actually enjoyed! but the struggle was real, maybe i am running out of Disco energy

Good episode this week, lots of action and callbacks.

When they talked about the library that changed locations a lot all I could think of was "where is Xur" from Destiny haha. Reno was great in that scene, she is criminally underused in the show.

"Seven of Limes" cocktail made me actually lol.

Next clue located in the Badlands! mentioned year 2371 which apparently is the year Voyager left DS9 in season 1*, so something's gotta happen around that next week! Will DS9 still be there? Or a Maquis colony? Maybe a caretaker? I know it wont be The Sisko cos Avery Brooks refuses to have anything to do with ST anymore does he (mores the pity).

*I'm not that much of a nerd, someone on reddit ST pointed this one out.

Could have been hallucinating but I thought one of the screens they pulled up had this old TNG pal on it:

I mean as far as hiding an ultimate weapon goes, inside an inescapable null-space void of a creepy higher dimensional scientist isn't the worst spot!

Hmm! Which scene? I have the ep saved on my Plex.

Either one with the main viewscreen or in engineering where they're sifting through possible spots, but I wouldn't rewatch just to find it,
especially since random space features in the corner incidentally resembling a creepy face is just as likely!
