It’s a good show, and overseas viewers don’t have to put up with CBS All Access, so of course it’s doing well.

Welp, watched the scene again, and I’m wrong (and this stupid Kinja thing isn’t letting me edit it for some reason). She met Lorca after spacing him, not before. Huh. I guess it must have been on that data thingy she left on him (presumably planted when she punched him in the stomach). I guess she’d only need a…

I went back and rewatched this a couple of times, and I still can’t figure out how in the hell Burnham was able to send a message back to the Discovery about Tyler’s real identity. I didn’t mention this in the review proper as I’m almost positive I missed something, but so far as I can tell, she was never alone…

I also remember that story about the school district in Toronto that cancelled a field trip to the US because it didn’t seem safe anymore.

I know I wouldn’t touch this goddamn place with a twenty-foot pole if I had a citizenship in Norway. Or Germany. Or France. Or Canada. Or Australia. Or, really, anywhere in the first world that isn’t full of morons who elected... that thing to the presidency.

“No! I must kill the demons,” The AVClub shouted.

The Oxford Dictionary adds a little to the bit about drinks:

It would have been great if, after that overlong shot at the end, the clown had showed up again right before the end credits.

I always loved the way Odo had absolutely no interest whatsoever in being human, and that one time it was forced on him, he got depressed.

That was the best episode yet. This show really is improving every episode.

That should be “whom,” not “who.” Grammar is important!

Looks like this episode managed to bring the Bob the Angry Flower guy out of retirement.

Hemlock is a NATURAL poison, but that doesn’t make it not murder if you feed it to somebody.

When I was a teenager and the Berman-era Star Trek shows were still on the air, the one my mom decided to drop in on me watching was, of course, Threshold.

This “different culture” argument doesn’t survive for ten seconds when you translate it into a present-day situation.

sexuality and humor != date rape

If we see more of Darulio in the future, there’s a good chance I’ll stop watching the show.
