The dedication plaque on TOS says "Starship Class".

The reveal of the Enterprise bridge brought a HUGE smile to my face. The inclusion of Spock in the future crew does signal that things won't go as planned, even if you thought the entire main cast would be replaced for next season. I think the cudgel is the key to defeating Control.

With two episodes left, I have to ask - what's the deal with casting Rebecca Romijn to play Number One for a walk on cameo in a single episode?

They replaced Sara Mitich with Hannah Cheeseman this season to play Ariam, so I assumed Mitich decided it wasn't worth all the makeup sessions to play an anonymous robot lady. Guess who's playing replacement officer Nilsson? It's Sara Mitich! So Ariam is kind of back from the dead.

I appear to be in the minority here (and more importantly, in the minority of fandom at large), but season 2 Discovery is, at its core, a rehash of TNG. Being a rehash, there's no sense of surprise or... discovery. There's no drama. Season one felt dynamic and novel. Season two feels turgid and...

As per usual, the show looks great, the acting is top notch, and the characters are really in the groove. But the episode came off like there was a writer's strike and they dusted off a script from 1998. I want something new from Discovery, I don't want the same old same old, a sci-fi chestnut...

You don't speak Russian troll?

Looks absolutely sick. Can't wait for the premiere.

Does he have Adamantium claws too?

Josh, are they playing the shorts in Canada? They're dropping four of them once a month on All Access, meaning you have to subscribe an entire month for a 15 minute program. The first one streamed yesterday. BTW, not you, Josh, the other Josh from Canada.

Word is they're starting filming in April, so if it's a 9 month gap between the start of filming and airing the first episode, then we're looking at a Jan 2019 premiere.

She was promoted from cadet to ensign on the command track. So she's be on the ship and not in some sort of officer's school.

The finale was a bit of a letdown because the solution seemed fuzzy. So, L'Rell blackmails the 24 houses with a Qo'nos self-destruct button into ceasing all hostilities with the Federation? Is there something else I'm missing? Part of me is kind of like, "I don't get it". It's the same fuzzy...

The logo of the Romulan Empire. It's not just in the tent, it's actually on the tent itself.

Not only Saru, but Detmer (who also served on the Shen Zhou) starts smiling when Georgiou is introduced. It's been 9 months in Prime time, so it's not inconceivable that they actually rescued her. Between the fact that there was Discovery wreckage but no actual crew contact and Cornwell's...

One thing I've realized about this show is that they're straightforward with the hints they drop. It was very clear that Lorca was not from the PU since at least episode 6. Since he wasn't barbarously evil, I had this idea that he was from a parallel universe, but not the Mirror Universe. In...

My assumption that Lorca and Discovery swapped is because Lorca said he swapped and there was no ISS Discovery in the MU after the USS Discovery arrived. You're correct that the Emperor isn't aware of a spore drive, so it probably doesn't exist in the MU. The thing about the swap is...

So it turns out the mycelial network, like the internet, is a series of tubes. Also the same concept as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Does the ISS Discovery have a spore drive? Mirror Staments didn't have the interface implants and implied his work was done on the Charon, so if the ISS Disco has a spore drive, they either found a bunch of enslaved tardigrades or they no compunction about spreading around the genetic...

Lorca said he swapped out with Prime Lorca in a transporter accident whilst flying through an ion storm. So Prime Lorca's fate is wrapped up with the fate of the Mirror Buran, which was never divulged. So he might be alive in the Mirror Universe, but he's not in the Prime universe. Unless they...

Much in the way Lorca could not clearly see the distinction between Mirror and Prime Burnham (even though Burnham was clearly working against him), Burnham likewise could not make the distinction between the Phillipas (and a little bit vice versa). So thematically, the desire to bring the...

I'm probably going to watch that episode at least 5 more times. This week. With this show's breakneck pacing, I'm expecting it to wrap up in one episode. The SFX on this show are insanely good. The entire scene of Discovery taking its shot at the core was sofa king great. Oh, and the moment...

Linda Park is actually Korean. I was compelled to point that out.

Actually, it's building on the two part Terran Empire episode from Enterprise. The Terran Empire was toppled when Mirror Spock took charge. The Mirror universe on DS9 was not the Terran Empire.

You'll see. No spoilers, but let's just say I'm a couple of hours away from my pilot's license. In the context of post TOS series, Discovery is a unicorn - it not only knows what it wants to be out of the gate, but it hits a double bullseye in execution. In the context of TV history, Discovery...

Discovery was the best TV show of 2019, so I am excited as balls for its return.

The next 6 episodes will be a new arc building on "where the eff are we? " Season 2 will be for continuity issues, but it likely won't air until 2019. Maybe I've just never been a continuity maven, but this series' continuity issues are immaterial AFAIC. Don't care, to be honest. The show is...

I'm fortunate I don't have the mindset of the self-ordained continuity cops when it comes to this show. It would be a shame to dismiss something as exquisite as Star Trek Discovery because (pushes up glasses) "it was established on TOS that the dial for the tachyon emitter turned to the left...

If Tyler is Voq, then he has implanted memories and L'Rell will trigger Voq to resurface. The problem with this, and something I forgot to comment on, is that I don't see L'Rell's end game. She didn't want to help Kol, so it wasn't to steal the spore drive for the Klingons. There's no way to...
