Very good episode, but Airiam feels like a missed opportunity. Her look was striking (like an offspring of Nebula and Data) and her origin was completely mysterious. We didn’t even know she was human before this episode!

True. It would have been refreshing if she was allowed to embrace her actions instead of being redeemed imo. Storytelling is great because we get to see an honesty not always made available to us in everyday life. I felt it was sort of glossed over as her mistake instead of it being apart of her character. This was…

if there’s one thing i’ve picked up from this series it’s that Starfleet [in discovery at least] is pretty darn awful at decision making, or anything else really, so with that in mind it doesn’t surprise me they haven’t yet worked out ‘turning it off’ would’ve resolved the issue with control...

I’m late to this episode but it was good even though I’m sad that we lost such a great example of character design. Airiam really was beautifully made.

Oh! What if Airaim pitched into space and left for dead crashes onto a machine planet where she is rebuilt ala V’Ger and she is the original Borg queen?

Daedalus was the inventor, Icarus was his son. He built two pairs of wings for them to escape the island of Crete. But Icarus was a dumb-dumb and didn’t listen to his dad when he told them that the feathers on the wings were attached with beeswax, so they shouldn’t fly too close to the sun.

Just dig on my man there off McCoy’s right shoulder.

They are getting there... they have all them showing off their meaningful expressions on their faces after something important happens on the bridge. It is hilarious, it is like a drinking game for me and my friend who watch the show together.. “here it comes, they gonna show them tilting their head now  one by one in…

It’s less that it isn’t one it Treks before it and more that it lacks major Star Trek elements, as in bedrock principles. If it wasn’t Star Trek it would be a better show. It would have to build its own world and develop characters. It would have no obligation to the spirit of Star Trek and it would be unable to lean…

I am probably the only one who feels this way but when the show first aired I wanted her to own the fact she started the War to save Federation lives. She would have been a calculating fierce character who showed little or no remorse. I will take this recent development though where she f8nakky drops the guilt.

The upside is they have committed to a storyline. No getting out of it now and that means they must start developing characters. And the arc doesn’t seem that bad. I actually was excited about the possibilities. 

Season 15 episode 7: a skeleton is found in one of the cabins as they are decommissioning the discovery. Remains are checked by the science officer on duty and it is identified as Tyler!

I’m glad the Admiral is back on board, just so my eagerly awaited bit of dialogue can now happen:

DISCO standing around watching them fight like watching TV...

Also, the guys are named Bryce and Reese (Rhys?). They couldn’t make their names a little more distinct?

this. i’m amazed this is literally the only comment i’ve seen anywhere noticing this. why did everyone on discovery forget they have transporters? Transporters that they’ve actually used in the past to rescue a spaced crewmember (Ash in season 1).

That’s the problem with the entire bridge crew. We know nothing about them, other than bits and pieces. Until the start of Season 2, I didn’t even know their names. I know nothing about Owosekun, other than she was raised by luddites, nothing about Detmer, other than she used to blame Burnham for the artificial eye,…

Yeah, the whole time Michael was pleading with Airiam, I was like “Uh...Nahn?  Suffocating behind you?  Give her a  hand, maybe?,” lol.

Well, this explains why they re-cast Airiam during the season break, I guess. The original actor is still on the show in a different role, so she’s still employed.

I actually came here to hear about all of the things wrong with this episode, because I have never been so irked by so many things wrong while watching Discovery. I generally like it, and I thought last week’s was one of the best of the season, and it still got a bad review here. But this week’s just had so many…
