Is Georgiou ... necessary?  Is she there to always present the possibility of a power struggle or mutiny?  To be the wise, cranky cynic who sometimes helps them realize the less altruistic and idealistic way is the answer in a pinch? What is it? 

I think the reveal was that almost half the Trill could host, not the tiny percentage they were claiming.  But that is just semantics.

Ugh. That was fun and silly enough to explain a dumb thing once. Let’s not keep running with it!

Yeah, I’m less worried about the continuity of it all and more about how paint by numbers it was. Like if someone gave you ten minutes to come up with a tragic backstory behind her joining that Adira was repressing, how close would it have been to this? It feels like a first draft effort.

The formless purple-gray void…

I’m glad that someone finally sees that Kurtz-Trek’s idea of canon is to reference something fairly random about Trek then get it wrong, misuse it, or just ignore it.

A very subordinate one- ‘Doctor’ Culber apparently doesn’t know the difference between a human and Klingon.

Is Culber the Chief Medical Officer? I he’s one of the doctors, but for some reason I thought they’d established him as a subordinate one....

The thing I’m liking most about this season is that each episode has had a really strong A plot that also furthered the ongoing arc of the season:
3x01: Burnham got her feet under her in the future.
3x02: Discovery got its feet under it in the future.
3x03: Discovery learns what’s happened to Earth in the last…

It’s interesting, because I feel like the Trill were utilized in the 90s to tell LGBTQI+ stories. The TNG episode actually hasn’t aged well because Beverly is absolutely disgusted when her lover is put into a female host and it plays has homophobic by today’s standards. DS9 played with gender constantly with…

What gets to me is how everyone on Discovery seems to know about the Trill. This isn’t a thing that came up on the original series, but everyone chats about it like it’s no big thing.

both the non-binary and the transgender characters promoted before the season premiered are Trill

Will Discovery ever become fun? With all the tears being shed, I think we have enough water to host a pair of whales in the cargo hold. I care about the characters and enjoy the overall premise, but the series is far too heavy on the sentiment. I long to see a Ferengi, or watch some Klingons get crazy with a barrel of…

Missing chunk of a map in TFA was ridiculous. That’s not how 3D space mapping or stellar cartography works.

I hope this shows figures out how to steal a bit of what made Firefly work.

To overanalyze, here’s all the problems I perceive with the conversation as it stands:

I generally enjoy the show, but I consistently have a problem with its beat-to-beat dialogue flow. The individual lines themselves are usually fine, but the way conversations proceed often feel stilted and unnatural. The conversational logic is sometimes skewed. When Peli Motto is talking to Din about Mos Pelgo, he…

OH MY GOD!!! Olyphant’s hair was fantastic.

No, I figured the show was going rogue and just pulling all sorts of pranks on that crusty old dean Bob Iger. Go Mandalorian House! I’m pledging next spring.

I’m less concerned about Tatooine returning right away (we gotta face it, deserts look like Star Wars) than I am about this being almost a retread of the 4th episode of season 1. Better band those villagers together to beat a giant thing that threatens their way of life while turning a potential enemy into a fast…

Mandalorian demonstrates why people still love ‘Firefly’, another space cowboy series that had all the sympathetic character development that this series lacks. The Star Wars films after the first two come across as extended action figure commercials.
