This sounds like total horseshit, and I’M the goddamned pope.

“Let us pray...”

So how many secrets does he keep and then promise never to keep again before keeping more secrets?

I think they should just put the Oscar in a pit and release the nominees from a cage. The winner is whoever emerges from the pit alive.

The only real snub in my book is Michael Stuhlbarg.

I’d have liked to see Call Me by Your Name pick up a few more nominations, but I’d glad for the ones it has, God’s Own Country could have been put into a few categories too.

We have that already and it’s called Donald Trump.

Freedom? Equality? Justice?

Do something about it! Be positive! Go write some Alt-Right science fiction where all humanity sits in cabins on THEIR PROPERTY with guns across their laps for thousands of years, and all the minorities are dead.

Yeah, I think they did a pretty good job of giving all of Lorca’s questionable actions an alternative explanation. He’s driven to win the war, he’s suffering from PTSD, etc.

I thought Saru did quite well for himself tonight.

No, Saru is still back on the Shenzhou. Burnham are the one the Emperor offered her to pick from the three that were there as a gift. She assumed she was picking a new slave, when it was really more like the lobster tank and a restaurant.

TOS and TNG both went to the deconstruction well ridiculously early and often. “The Enemy Within,” “The Naked Time,” “The Naked Now,” “Where No One Has Gone Before,” “Hide and Q...”

While I expect that Discovery will have a small core cast, I doubt they will ever have a 7-8 person ensemble that sticks around until the series finale, like past Trek shows.

The Defiant presumably had medical files on Prime Universe humans.

Lorca always acted so harshly towards people. And last week it was so obvious he was jealous of Michael’s feelings for Tyler. I can’t believe people didn’t see this coming. And he stopped the Ambassador from reporting him episodes ago. He was just off key.

Lorca’s identity totally took me by surprise. I was so distracted by the Tyler/Voq speculation that a second twist didn’t occur to me. I wonder if they leaked the Tyler/Voq thing because they intended that distraction.

That’s Discovery showing their canon knowledge. Remember how dark it was on Mirror Terok Nor? And I never finished The Emperor’s New Cloak because it was terrible, but I’m pretty sure Grand Nagus Zek beat Intendant Kira with a flashlight.

Lorca is from the mirror universe...duh.
