I hope everyone understand that because the writers wanted a cute bit where Tilly realizes that Georgiou is Evil Georgiou, that we have established, without any doubt, that Tilly is the stupidest person in the galaxy.

She’s told the Discovery is running dark and responds “my favorite way to run.”

Yeah, people getting into a fit about this need to find much better thing to get mad about.

It’s a real testament to the confidence of the TNG writers just how little they relied on fan service. They had good characters, they had good stories to tell, they had good actors, they didn’t need fanboy BS.

I couldn’t have said it better. And BTW like most of Burnham’s plans, this one fails spectacularly, since the Klingons and Federation are at war a few years later (well before TOS takes place)!

No he was still the same rank. He’s just acting captin for the few days it takes to get the new captain on Vulcan.

They all got medals. Tilly was the only one that was actually promoted (Burnham got reinstated).

The speech was awful. Terrible writing.

I’m curious what is going to happen to Saru, Doug Jones is signed up for another show right now (the tv version of What we do in Shadows).

The speech was terrible. As I said above, it should have been a narrating personal log on top of the awards ceremony. It made no sense. Sloppy writing to give Burnham a chance to give a speech to Star Fleet.

That speech was extraordinarily clunky. It would have made a lot more sense as a personal log narrating the events of the award ceremony. But the writers have this slavish devotion to Burnam for some reason, and had to give a speech in front of an audience at the end. Sloppy, sloppy writing.

They are leaning on the nostalgia very very hard. It’s a big turn off for me.

I agree, but I am a little concerned about the size issues. The constitution class ships are suppose to be the flagships of the fleet (in Kirks time there are only 12). Discovery looked like it was about twice the size of the Enterprise.

The fact that Pike was commanding the Enterprise at the end of the episode means it’s the original TOS timeline - plus the ship looked drastically different from the JJ version.

Re-watch “Descent”. Hugh actually says their part of the collective was cut off.

I’ve dubbed this show “Star Trek: Callback!”

Yeah! And when is Star Trek going to get with the times and have a woman or minority Captain!?!?

I’m just assuming you don’t consider The Sixth Sense Sci-fi or Fantasy.

Do you know if he wrote it in Unity?

This is pretty obviously a scam to try and get money.
