Did I hear right, but I thought Saru identifies the ships as Starfleet, or did he?

-First for “Star Trek”: Klingon tits and ass ... Technically bare Klingon tits, since Lursa and B’ehtor did display cleavage on the regular, but I think this is the first time we’ve gotten an explicit sex/rape scene in a “Trek” series. Although, it’s somewhat crazy we get Klingon tits on “Star Trek” before two gay…

-I get the feeling the writers/producers are playing a semantics game with a distinction between invisibility screen and cloaking device, that way it can make “Balance of Terror” and the theory of the Klingons gaining a proper cloak from the Romulans later on make sense. During the opening battle, the “invisibility…

One aspect which should be noted, this property was originally supposed to be part of the MCU film series (with Vin Diesel at times rumored to be Black Bolt). I believe around the time of the deal to bring Spider-Man into the MCU an “Inhumans” film was dropped from the phase 3 plans. 

Without going too deep into spoilers, the way the previous season ended in retrospect seems like a perfect way to write Spacey’s character off of “House of Cards,” although it’s probably not a satisfying one for fans of the series. And I think it will be hard for the show to step out of Spacey’s shadow no matter how…

-Not counting Kirk’s barfight in the Kelvin Timeline, this is the first party that felt like a party in “Star Trek.” Every other “party” in Trek seemed so elitist with classical music while people sipped champagne. These actually seemed like people who wanted to have fun and sex and a good time. Also, I love that we…

Not much as far as plot in the greater story happens, but this episode was an examination of the characters, and I’m not sure I like what it does to Sarek.

That’s true.

This can’t be the Mirror Universe, or at least not the Mirror Universe from the Prime Timeline.

-The spore drive is well known. This is not some secret project that gets forgotten about because it was compartmentalized. Starfleet is attempting to mass produce it and the Klingons have figured out something is up and saw the ship jump. My guess is that, along with the eugenics restrictions and whatever the fuck…

That’s interesting.

Although, Trek’s version of the 1990s is inconsistent.

As far as the morality of the situation, they’re definitely trying to set up a situation where the extent to which Starfleet is willing to go in the name of survival is a major tension. But I also think this is a problem with this supposedly being part of the continuity in the prime universe.

I’m liking this show, but one thing which nags at me is that on some level the nature of “Star Trek” tries to say something about the human condition through an idealism of humanity. The Earth of the Federation is supposed to be a place where war, racism, sexism, poverty and class struggle have been overcome. I have a…

On the commentary track for “Wrath of Khan,” Meyer explicitly states he doesn’t believe “Star Trek” really exhibits Roddenberry’s ideas about the “perfectability of man.” Instead, Meyer thinks the franchise is really centered around “gunboat diplomacy.”

Or the Transporters!

I enjoyed it, but the tone felt weird. I kept thinking the mood of it all had more in common with “Battlestar Galactica” than anything “Star Trek.”
