Pike reiterates “General Order Number One,” which was the Prime Directive before there was a Prime Directive, and after some sparring, Burnham gets him to change his mind. For… reasons, I guess?

I feel like we’re not watching the same show.

In The Expanse, she’d have been fucking spaced in the first ep.

She’s awesome. That’s life, being life. Deal with it.

That’s actually what made it better for me than the first one. No laborious setup, no inevitably disappointing conclusion; it’s got Empire Strikes Back Syndrome, which is a good thing.

I don’t think that eating it means you hate gay people. It means that you’re too lazy to get to Popeyes.

You had me at T-Bone Burnett.

Remember that Kirk and McCoy had already been to Spock’s wedding, where they apparently did not meet his parents but did discover that he was related to T’Pau. But apparently nobody noticed that Sarek was also related to T’Pau.

His name is Stamets, and he and Tilly make a great team.

I don’t understand the Chik-Fil-A thing. What good is fried chicken if it’s only white meat?

Seems a little odd to refer to the main character as a “Mary Sue”...

Hey, someone remembered Sybok!

The only thing that bothered me about that was that there was no reference to it afterward, like it didn’t bother Pike to lose his backup science officer.

Good catch! I didn’t notice that.

Maybe a Kasseelian opera star as captain, so they stab themselves at the end of the season?

Nice catch! Not every cage is a prison, indeed!

it is really odd how there are ZERO enlisted people shown on the show. Whereas on a real navy ship you would typically have 20-30 enlisted scurrying around for each officer.

She serves zero function

“This show is great but it isn’t Star Trek.”

Disco is taking elements from TOS and adapting them for its own use.
