Rey won’t be born for another 6 years or so.

This was incredible. I was never a big Fett fan, but seeing Slave 1 in modern CGI, having him in the armor just blast everyone...ugh, so much fun.

This was a slower-paced episode (I was almost restless) but I think that’s because it was as much more classic TNG episode than we’ve had. A crew going to a planet and helping them end their flying jellyfish famine? I love it!

I do think it’s Discovery, but I think it’s going to be a temporal duplicate or something; the Discovery in Calypso wasn’t upgraded with 32nd century tech, and wasn’t an -A.

Whaaaaat, what are you talking about? The writers are just lazy hacks who’ve never watched Trek. This is NOT Trek.

Are you the sole arbiter of who earns episode titles? C’mon.

I adored this episode, and I didn’t think I was going to.

Says who? Clearly it didn’t so...not bull?

She didn’t cause it, it was basically a word-of-mouth slander that took hold in truth. Everyone thinks her mutiny started the war, but it didn’t. Since she shoulders all the guilt from that mutiny still, she doesn’t defend herself or correct the record.

The Discovery was recorded as destroyed in all official logs, so to re-integrate into the Federation it needed a new registry.

Pretty sweet episode, even though it was another diversion. Mando’s on a typical RPG quest where everyone who can help him wants something in return which requires a couple days of detouring.

I freaking loved it, so much.

They said it’d been 500 years since the MU moved away, but the Burn was only 100-something ago.

I never studied in school either. It doesn’t mean I don’t have book smarts, it just means I don’t learn like the majority of people do.

Boimler’s classroom reading DID succeed. He had a ton of knowledge about species, how they communicated, protocols, almost everything they ran into. His problem was he was too linear…

No, she has the book smarts AND the experience. She’s already been promoted and demoted. She clearly has had tons of field experience, including undercover operations. If Boimler’s strictly classroom-learning experiences succeeded over that, what would that say about Mariner?

That wasn’t the read I got from it at all. It was more of a “book smarts alone aren’t going to get you through”. He was acting like because he studied hard and knew all the rules/species/protocols that things would go off without a hitch, and he was shown that sometimes experience and intuition are what really helps…

Well, no, individual plot points weren’t obvious, but the way he said it spoke more to a giant surprise than any one story beat.

I really liked it. I’m really sad. Everyone got their “happy” ending but it felt so bittersweet. Random thoughts:

Don’t worry, dream on!

I’m confused how I missed this was happening until now. Why? You don’t reboot the greats that soon. That’d be like if we got a new Lord of the Rings trilogy in the next few years.
