That is exactly my point. We’ve come to expect high moral values from Star Trek without ever questioning what dark nights of the soul lead to those higher moral values.

I think there’s a reason no one ever mentioned Lorca before, why he wasn’t renowned centuries later like Kirk - he just wasn’t as good of a captain. He did some things that may have ended up being mistakes and probably won’t earn a huge place in the history books, but that doesn’t mean he (and Burnham and Saru and the…

I personally had a totally opposite experience with this episode and feel it’s one of the best of Trek ever. Out of any series.

I completely agree. It seems that everyone is forgetting that the Star Trek universe we have come to love didn’t magically just come into being. It had to evolve into it and that evolution had to contain some serious growing pains. I feel Discovery does a beautiful job demonstrating that.

Same here, he keeps talking about the soul of Star Trek, but I think Discovery is managing to stay fresh by avoiding all of those obvious turns following the “soul of Star Trek” would lead to.

To the audience Tyler is so obviously a spy that Lorca’s not just callous, he’s a fucking moron. Tyler is played by Shazad Latif, who also plays the albino Klingon Voq.

It was compelling in the classic David Fincher way of spinning a yarn, but definitely suffered from the binge philosophy of assuming the viewer would just watch the next episode, that certainly made this episode more complete and enjoyable, in hind sight.

Seen all episodes. Show is amazing, no episode is worth less than a B just for the directing and writing alone.

Ford’s flights of literary fancy

This review/recap is absolutely off. I binged 6 episodes today and it’s great.

I am enjoying it through 4 episodes just fine. I do wonder how the reviews for this show was assigned to somebody who has been so open with his dislike toward David Fincher movies. Seems like it was destined for poor reviews given the source.

Been great three episodes in. Well worth a watch

Hold up, Pops...Riverdale had RIOTS?

The moment Agent Sharp and Sara had their interaction, the timer for their hookup started in my head to the degree that I’m almost wishing that they either swerve us or give Sharpe a lot more character than the concept she currently is.

There are a lot of reasons why Caity Lotz as Sara is my #1 favorite all-time live-action female superhero, but how great she is in the action/ fight scenes is probably top of the list. She is so graceful and yet vicious kicking Julius Caesar’s ass. He was right, there was no limit to what he could have accomplished…

I was okay with The Flash and how it’s trying to be optimistic again.

If you’d have told me at the end of Season 1 of LoT that by Season 3 it would be the most consistently entertaining of the CW’s shows, I would have laughed you out the door. But here we are.

Mick+Sara bros forever

Veni, vedi
