I just had an idea for another follow-up adventure for the producers to mine in the next Picard project, given the penchant the writers of the new Star Trek shows are showing for revisiting TNG episodes. The TNG episode First Contact is always a favorite. And the story ends with a promise that...

I only wanted to watch Red Directive and will follow on with the second episode maybe this weekend. spoilers from viewing Red Directive: I also enjoyed the fast paced direction of the premiere. I didn’t see any rocks on the bridge from the explosions by the way. I thought nearly everyone...

The refit Enterprise has restraints built into the chair arms, so they were safely held in during the wormhole affair. Except those crew members who were standing at their stations. :)

The recent comments inspired me to re-view The Vulcan Hello, Battle at the Binary Stars and Context is King. I wanted to revisit the first season as I agree that while it was shocking at first to see this new take on Star Trek, with the wholesale changes to the aesthetic designs of ships and...

Maybe Book is an alternate timeline Book. I’m being jokey, but who knows. As for Tilly, I have not rewatched season 4, so i wasn’t sure what her status is, other then becoming an instructor at the Academy. So maybe she has a role with some cadets that play into the season long story arc. Or she...

Yes, all those issues resulted in the chaos of the first year and continued to the second. Fuller was a problem as were his successors.

I am kind of surprised the series is coming to an end. I agree, it’s been quite a rollercoaster of sort. The first season was chaotic from the way so many hated the new depiction of the Klingons to the shift to the Mirror universe. But looking back, it was different. I feel like it was quite an...

I think I’ll skip watching that trailer. After seeing the trailer for Picard, I don’t want to see this one and like for Picard, I’ll wait for the premier to see what the new season is about. In terms of “Let’s Fly”, it’s ok. I don’t love it or hate it. ”Hit it” works better for Anson Mount...

Thanks Josh! I couldn’t help from reading your answers, I wanted to rewatch to hear the explanations. :). But no worries, it was good to see there were explanations. I figured there had to be. I’ll still be re-watching to hear it. I hate to say this, as it can be said about anything else. But...

I enjoyed the finale too. The main thing I liked is how really alien the aliens are and how other worldly it felt. I do agree this season felt more like Star Trek, there was exploration and seeking out new life. I was wondering if and when Tilly would return, it was good to see her back. I...

I watched Species 10-C last night. I agree, it was quite well done and very much felt like Arrival. It continued with last week’s vibe of really being in an alien world. A world that is so different that we have to learn how to make communication. The scene when the DOT‘s was spraying the...

This week’s episode Rosetta wasn’t totally working for me. It felt like filler, but it made a good point in the debate on how to best make first contact. And of course, Michael’s gut was shown to be right as they were able to learn something about the aliens in this region. But are these really...

Interesting thesis Jason_V! I thought that visual effect of the Galactic Barrier was an interesting visual interpretation of the 1965 version. Though I’ve always questioned if there is really a barrier at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. And if there is, why is it a ring, and not a sphere. I...

I caught up with Rubicon last night. There was some fun cat and mouse action between Book and Michael. I knew Tarka was going to be trouble and I liked that Book shifted his position on him when he showed his other side by nearly killing the Discovery shuttle crew. I’ve been following the...

My curiousty led me to watch one of those YouTube videos that covers sci-fi and movie productions and speculates Discovery’s 5th season will be its last. This is to make room for the upcoming Section 31 Michelle Yeoh series and the Starfleet Academy series that would star Mary Wiseman as Tilly...

Thanks Josh! Good to know there are 13 episodes. That’s too bad they will go down to 10 episodes next season.

It was good to see a Discovery return, I watched it Thursday night rather then wait till the weekend. I think there was some reason the break was done and it wasn’t planned. Perhaps partly due to delays from Covid or flip flopping the schedules for the premieres of Picard season 2 and Prodigy...

Lots of comments about the season mid season finale! When the episode ended I thought, there’s a cliffhanger! My thoughts were more about Zora. I’m open for all kinds of technological possibilities and accepting things that are really possible, such as faster then light travel and transporting...

I waited till last night to see Stormy Weather. I was wondering when we’d see a Frakes directed episode. I must be blind, but I guess I have not dissected how Frake’s directing style is that obvious. Maybe because I’m trying to keep up with the plot amd understand what’s going on. :) When the...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this vignetting you show above. The Discovery interior I’d agree is not lit super brightly. But things are clearly visible. I guess it’s not an aesthetic that works for you.

Josh, I thought it was funny the Metrons were mentioned. Perhaps in a thousand years, your people and mine will meet to reach an agreement. Now that would be a funny punchline to this season. I thought I also heard mention of the Organians. But I could be mistaken.

I caught up with The Examples. Some interesting advancements to the overall plot and character arcs were revealed. The mission to move the colonist in the potential line of danger from the Anomaly and Burnham’s own job to get the prisoners had a very Star Trekian twist. it was quite a sign if...

I liked this episode‘s theme of being able to do anything. The idea that Kovich admitted to Tilly that the arrival of Discovery from the 23rd to the 32nd century was met with such distrust. It forced them to face their own limited thinking and attitude from having lived with the Burn. I would...

Josh, you’re right. Gabrielle is a member of the Qowat Millat as shown last season. I remembered that, but I’d not made the connection to the ways of taking on a lost cause. :)

“I dig it.” I caught up with Choose to Live last night. I liked this episode better then last week’s. Not that last week’s was bad. This was interesting and reminded me of the way the Third Season of Enterprise is going, there’s the bigger over arching plot of destruction of all life by the...

“Whats that? You want your Mommy?” Quoting Q from All Good Things, sorry, the title Anomaly reminded me of that line. I watched the second episode last night. Overall, to me it was a series of therapy session for the crew who needed to talk to each other to help them deal with the gravity of...

Guys, I binged the third season blu ray to re-view it before watching the new season, so I didn’t finish season 3 until Saturday. I watched the season 4 premiere last night. I kind of like this streaming in that I can watch when I’m ready. A few things off the top of my head with no real stream...

With regards to the Netflix issue: https://trekmovie.com/2021/11/17/star-trek-discovery-stars-share-international-fans-frustration-over-last-minute-netflix-exit/

I see Trekmovie has a review of the season 4 premiere. I’ll abstain reading it until after I watch it, hopefully I can see it tonight.

Hey guys, thought I’d chime in briefly. When I saw Josh’s post that he’s revisiting the third season in preparation for the start of the fourth season, I realized the time is near so I am likewise doing the same. I’ve only seen That Hope is You and Far From Home on the blu rays. i won’t comment...
