Well as they say the critics were out in force before the series started but as per usual they have been proved wrong yet again..

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

yeah, I learnt a long time ago to ignore critics. When I was 15/16 I used to buy Empire and Total Film with my pocket money and read the reviews for films before I watched them. As a general rule of them I found that ones they liked, I disliked, and the ones they said were rubbish I loved and it made me very confused at the time. Since then I haven't bothered reading reviews and I watch trailers, go to see the film at the cinema and make my own mind up.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

Really enjoyed this weeks episode.

So glad we finally got to have the Klingons talking in English without the subtitles.

So glad the morals and consequences of the spore driving damaging a sentient being are getting explored.

Also the final scene was a clear set up for the mirror universe episode.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

I really enjoyed this weeks episode. It wasn't perfect though but much better.

Some real interesting things happening now and also interesting theories online about the new crew member rescued from the Klingons.

Episode 7 is looking like one of the most Trek episodes yet, with them getting stuck in a time loop.

Yup, I need to see more of the universe now though to make it more realistic because they are running the risk of what I call ship in a bottle. The one little thing which really niggled at me in that episode is that we didn't see the admirals ship drop out of warp or dock with discovery, she just appeared in the ready room. I want to see Discovery take a bit of battle damage now (maybe in next weeks ep) and have to go to a Starbase for repairs and resupply.

My bad, I never saw that, I only saw this one so I wanted to provide a link to an official announcement.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

Yeah that bothered me too. No sign of her ship at all. Same happened last week when they met at the star base. Taking a shuttle when they could have just arrived and docked or transported there.

They could even have shown her ship arriving and then him meeting her in the transporter room.

Vulcan did look pretty cool but again nothing like the Vulcan of the Prime timeline. It looked to JJverse.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

I was very worried, I would struggle to get in to this, given the reviews I saw before it aired, but I’m hooked, it’s actually very interesting and look forward to each episode coming out each week.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

this weeks ep is the first one which has annoyed me. There is no two ways about it, Mudd should have died. He isn't one of those innocent or soft bad guys we have seen in other series who is "bad" but more mischievous than anything else and doesn't really do any harm. He callously killed random members of the crew without hesitation, is clearly going to be a threat in the future and he needs to be eliminated. Handing him over to some stupid gullible family is an absolute joke and completely unrealistic, especially knowing how we know Lorca behaves already.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

I enjoyed this episode the most so far. Felt the most trek like.

Mudd had to live for the timeline and canon. However I don't think they were a gullible family. I think the father knew what he did and was after him for it. Also perhaps the daughter manages to keep him and he mellows out within the 10 years before Kirk meets him.

My bad, I have only ever watched a few of TOS and didn't realise he was a character in it and couldn't die.

Re: Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

Wow, this weeks was the best yet, and Harry Mudd, what a bad ass (not quite like the TOS version). Perhaps 10 years with Stella changed him.

Yeah, he was in several TOS episodes, I remember one where he gave Nurse Chapel a love potion to work on Spock, and another where he had his own planet of androids.

I feel as though they actually went back to basics in this episode. No ongoing plotlines, no war with the klingons.

Just a well played and well written villain from the original series, and a typically Star Trek "Something weird is happening" story line. i know that time loops have actually only featured once (the TNG episode "Cause and Effect"), but there are plenty of episodes where some sort of a anomaly has an effect on the ship and crew, particularly in TOS and TNG.

So far, while there are aspects of the series I am not happy with, it is generally very good and I am enjoying it.
