Heh. I can hear the editors saying, “Yep, that turned out to be too long a way to go for THAT joke. Well, that’s why we shoot reaction shots, even though we hope not to need them.” Presumably they’re keeping camp Linus in reserve.

Osyrra: “You’re sitting outside of this weird Nebula? And your Captain is gone?”

Had it been previously established that Kelpians really, really like kelp? That reminds me of the sheepish president of the Federation from ds9's Homefront being a Grazerite.

“You belong in that chair, Tilly.” Sure?

Hopefully, Su’Kal’s “mini-burn” was just that. Perhaps he just partially tapped into what actually happened. As you, and others, have said, it would be very anti-climatic to have some stranded child be the reason for such a huge event. 

I’m usually not someone that cares about overly expository dialogue but holy cow at least 1/2 of the dialogue in this episode was characters making painfully obvious observations. I really wish this show had better writers because I love Trek. 

We didn’t get confused the last time there were two Kelpiens on screen, and Su-Kal and Saru look very little alike. 

No no. Zack and the lady over at Geek Den are the only two who seem to understand how empty this thing is underneath all the shiny. I’d swear all the other recap/reviews are paid for by CBS.

I’d say they made Saru human for the best possible reason: because after most of three seasons, Doug Jones has earned a couple of weeks of call times that don’t require going through however many hours of prosthetic work fist. Let the guy have a working vacation!

Osyraa: “Get out of that chair.”

This was definitely below a “B-” imo

Yeah, Michael. Main character and really, really weak point of the whole series. WTF are they thinking with her? She’s an irresponsible rogue who shouldn’t be in charge of a pet kitten.

The only thing I’ve really enjoyed in this series was that they got Capt. Pike so very right. I just hope they don’t mess up his new…

That was not good. I think someone’s comment that they thought having two Keplians would make it hard for viewers to tell apart is the only real explanation for why they mixed up species. And a kid destroys all the dilithium in the universe instantly? That sounds really really dumb. The Orions taking over Discovery…

I agree 100% about the man and that special. But it’s important for folks to remember that addiction (compulsive use of a substance despite the negative consequences of that use) absolutely does go away. Sometimes with treatment, but most people who suffer from addiction get over that addiction without treatment, and…

its John Mulaney, the AV club has him on their “DO NO WRONG” list. For now.

I wanna show you guys something...

I always feel like bands like this (sublime etc) are for kids who are too racist to like actual reggae. Gotta have it regurgitated second hand by a white moron.

311 was my #1 band when I was 13-16, they were the only band I listened to and did so until Evolver. After then, my tastes changed and I drifted away to other things but always had them in my periphery as a “great” band due to how I felt about them when I was younger. I’m 32 now and decided to catch their tour last…

All those years people (rightly) hated Oasis, Nickelback, Linkin Park; Meanwhile the real enemy was hiding in plain sight.

I just absolutely hate this band. When I was about 18, I got tapped by my mother to take my 14 year old sister to see this band (her birthday present). About three songs in, a young teenage girl started crowd surfing near us. The boys present held her in place above their heads and digitally penetrated her while she…
