Well, the show’s explicitly staked out that finding new dilithium is a dead end until they can figure out the burn, because if it was some kind of superweapon/sabotage, it could just happen again once the Federation gets too big for its britches.

Shouldn’t Starfleet being devoting all their available resources to replicating the spore drive? It’s pretty much the most important piece of technology in the galaxy. Having a fleet of ships with the spore drive would allow them to quickly rebuild the Federation. Heck, just having a few ships with the spore drive can …

Michael atm is not a fit for SF protocol. She’s spent a year on a mission to find the cause of the Burn but rejoining the Federation has put the brakes on that task. It’s not even a real tension between obeying the chain of command and her big mission. She is better off not being part of a ship. As the Admiral said,…

There was a trailer?  I just hate bangs.  They’re an abomination.

Self Sealing Stem Bolts!

Bangs are an abomination.

like Attack the Block, but for lesbians*

She’s great in Emma., too. I feel like everyone’s been watching The Queen’s Gambit (deservedly so), but not enough people saw Emma..  

It still sucks though. Especially as ‘death of female character to motivate our hero’ is one of the more annoying movie tropes.

“Things pick up with a Back To The Future-like twist, as Rey opens a pathway to the spirits of Life Day past. We are then thrown into a time-traveling adventure revisiting every key point in the Star Wars saga—all retold and rebuilt in the goofy Lego style”

Still mad about how they did her so wrong in the last Bourne movie.

The show has fixed most of its issues and I think there’s a foundation to make a pretty good show but there is a Michael problem that needs to be dealt with. She’s just not a strong character enough to carry the show the way the writers want her to, and keeping the focus on her prevents the other characters from…

Yeah, that’s some old ass historiography that I learned was untrue 16 odd years ago as a 14 yr old

I think that Mando’s armor being pretty much invulnerable is becoming a a little bit of a plot cheat. (At least the impact from so much blaster fire should leave him pretty banged up)

Why does Hemsworth, the largest Chris, not simply eat the others?

They didn’t make clear what the dilemma was at all. I got the emotional motivation - missing her people and wanting to see what happened to them -, but why was it even a problem was more ‘???’.

It did put a smile on my face seeing the USS Nog in the background. That was a damn good tribute.

I mean some of the lows discussed I agree are just TV cliches like the terrible romance but there is some legitimately bad TV in there. I would argue that the funeral for the character we were only properly introduced to the previous episode was pretty bad. Burnham’s adopted parents somehow turning up for a face to…

I get that the doctor didn’t want to abandon his family, but was there some reason they couldn’t have taken their bodies to Discovery and get that guy some medical attention, and then eventually he get can get that back to Barzan to bury them? This show makes the dumbest choices sometimes, and they are usually in…

Another Easter Egg, after you the Voyager, on the right hand side is a ship called the USS Nog.
