Janeway has her weird holonovel, but this was clearly inspired by Jane Eyre/Wuthering Heights gothic fiction. Which is 19th century. Which is not pop culture.

Skylar Astin’s voice is a bit softer than Santino Fontana’s, and while it seems like he’s actively trying to at least incorporate elements of Fontana’s performance into his (and I’ve definitely noticed him hitting similar inflections at least), Fontana’s Greg really only dropped into that softer tone when he was being…

I am very mucho missing a strong Doctor character... like, a lot... feels like apart of the lore is missing.

Based on the velocity of CBS announcing Trek shows, within 8 weeks?

The show has basically been a rollercoaster of plot twists and weirdness and craziness.  It’s been one of the most fun things on TV for the last few years.

Maya’s always been bi, she mentioned it in the meeting Darryl called to introduce her to the company/come out.

TNG was so hated, fan backlash against it was cited as a reason for Star Trek V’s box office failure.

The “coming up” trailer wasn’t included in the Netflix version, for some reason

For people outside the US and Canada, the Short Treks have shown up on Netflix  now.  Go into the section for Discovery, then click on Trailers and more, and scroll to the end.

Pike seemed to run through the angel thing. Given it’s in the opening credits too, it’s presumably going to be important.

DISCO is in the prime timeline, and Old Man Picard is going to be set after the destruction of Romulus and is at least going to mention Spock’s disappearance. So they’re at least acknowledging the Prime timeline events that lead to Kelvin branching off.

It might not even be about the backlash. Because the Sandy Hook family lawsuit is going ahead, a lot of media companies are apparently worried about being found culpable. There’s a good chance Roku’s lawyers stepped in and told them to get rid of him.

I was trying to figure out if that was a joke about them trying to sound cultured and getting the pronunciation wrong or not.

Is this the real life?

She needs to walk into an MCU planning meeting, fire the first two people to ask a question, draw a penis on the whiteboard and then announce the un-cancellation of the Netflix shows

Yeah, I assumed she was because otherwise they went to a huge level of detail on her eye makeup.

When Rebecca saw his photo, she even said “Hey sexy stranger!”

And even then, Mussolini didn’t actually make the trains run on time.

I’ve enjoyed the series so far, but this was the first episode so far this year where I was constantly laughing out loud.
