Unfortunately, some people don’t understand (or can’t be bothered with) context. They’ll cancel anything that even remotely looks like it could be offensive.

You can see them in the background at Kenny’s funeral in the first one.

The Enterprise-E captain’s chair got seat belts in a deleted scene from Nemesis.

“Exploration, science, ethical dilemmas, and trying to be better people” is TNG in a nutshell. It’s the reason why many of us became fans of the franchise in the first place.

I think this episode would have worked better if it aired as a special in November.

I guess we’re in full antihero territory with June now?

On the nose needle drops are a tradition with this show, plus it was a callback to the pilot.

Comes through loud and clear on my headphones.

I like how the show somehow figured a way for Riker to yell “SHEILDS UP!”

He’s at least confirmed to be alive.  We don’t much else than that.

As someone who lives in the suburbs of Philly, I only have two gripes about this episode. What the fuck was that bus? Is SEPTA pulling ancient buses out of mothballs? Also, at the climax of the episode, that storefront is actually a Barnes and Noble. Other than that, this was a good episode overall. The building with…

I actually like this idea.

Let’s not forget about Bad Janet (the one that read the manifesto), she too has been rebooted to the point of transcendence.  

Or, it might not be any of these.  Given how well Schur & Co have kept us on our toes this far, the true endgame might be something we least suspect.

You didn’t see graphite.  YOU DIDN’T, BECAUSE IT’S NOT THERE!

This episode was educational. At the end, we were treated with step-by-step instructions on how to make a Toasted Meloni. This a food item enjoyed by the whole family!

I’m definitely intrigued by this.  Looks worth watching.

In Star Trek: TNG terms this episode was “Second Chances” with a tiny bit of “Remember Me” and a dash of “Yesterday’s Enterprise”.

So, when is Season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale coming?

Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I still think that this show would have way better if Michael had been captain of Discovery from the beginning. Also, it’d be better if the show was more an ensemble piece. Lastly, if the show was more about “discovery” as in actual exploration, I’d like it more.
