Star Trek Discovery Official Thread

But it's not tho..

It is to me and my enjoyment levels are likely higher than folks being bothered because it doesn't fit into the OG Trek timeline.

Besides it is not like you will ever see the original actors in this. They are all old or dead and production values have increased since the 1960s so on the off chance we get to see Kirk and the Enterprise it will be a new guy playing Kirk (just like Spock) and an Enterprise that doesn't look like it was designed using cardboard and paper mache.

As someone who had no problem with season 1 and enjoyed every episode until the most recent..



This latest episode is the first one that annoyed me. I get that it's science fiction and ur supposed to suspend belief but the idea that someone's consciousness and memories could be transfered through tears is some bullshyt. (If thats the case then im drinking T Rex memories in my water bottle since it's all recycled anyway) I would have accepted the idea of a clone of dude but him having all his memories intact is ridiculous.


This is the first time they dropped the ball imo and now I kinda know how those nerdy trek purist who complain about every little thing must feel now

My biggest issue was the fact that Burnham and them were in a rapidly disintegrating ship on a time sensitive mission yet everyone involved was given time to do these long ass monologues.
Explain that bullshyt you got to say after the ship is safe.

This is what irked me too. I understand that Star Trek to some degree has been a space soap opera, but Discovery takes this shyt too far at times. I can't remember the last time I watched an episode where Michael or Tilly weren't on the verge of tears. You don't need to run the entire emotion gamut for every damn episode.

Tilly was good as a side character

she gets waayyyyyyyyy more screen time than she should. It was cute at first but they turn the show into star trek meets big big theory just for her...

This portrayal of Pike might be my favorite captain ever. They did the character justice.

Pike has been the sole bright spot of the season to me

Funny you bring up the Borg, I was hoping the Borg was in that Sphere's database which would somehow bring them onto this show (Even though in Canon starfleet didn't run into them until TNG). I have yet to watch it but I heard Star Trek Enterprise has Borg and Ferengi episodes even though starfleet didn't discover them yet

(ST:TNG - First Contact)
The destroyed Borg cube crash-lands in the Arctic on 21st century Earth.


(ST:ENT)
On 22nd century Earth, it's found by scientists who are assimilated by two revitalized Borg drones.


Those Borg send a signal, before being destroyed, that will take almost two centuries to reach the Borg Collective in the Delta quadrant.


(ST:TNG - Season 1)
Borg receive signal and start heading towards Earth. Borg are responsible for destroying/assimilating Romulans and Federation outposts in the Neutral Zone.

(ST:TNG - Season 2)
Q-Who happens.

This is why I can’t take Trekkie criticism of this show seriously.

Enterprise was an entirely broken show in terms of Star Trek continuity. From the Borg presence to the Delphic Expanse Arc to the Time War, it was a total mess.

If you don’t like the show that’s one thing, but don’t act like the franchise hasn’t been off the rails since Sisqo transformed into the baby from 2001 A Space Oddysee.

I agree to an extent that's why I couldn't stand enterprise originally and it showed in the ratings but more often than not they atleast respected basic continuity. This show is left for me just my opinion though but I feel like they don't even try most of the time.

For awhile I told myself this is not in the same universe but gave up on the first episode on season 2. I hope the show continues to do well but most modern trek doesn't do it for me personally.

That may be, but I don't think it's fair to tell fans to pretend the show isn't in continuity when the people behind it have said it is. When you have any shared or expanded universe, and the people in charge say it's in that universe, there's an expectation that things will line up and make sense.

That's the exact problem DC Comics has right now. They've gone out of their way to say things are in continuity (and that there even is one at all), but nothing makes sense and nothing lines up, and the response is, ". Did you like it? Then it's in continuity. Did you hate it? Then it's not in continuity. Now shut the fukk up. ."

That's just a lazy way to do things when you have fans that expect a certain level of consistency.

one thing that kills me about discovery is the lack of ship to ship combat

All this budget and the only thing they shoot are shuttles...

I wish they would tone down the emotion a little bit.

You mean that ghey shyt. That’s my only complaint.
Great seeing Section 31 cloaked ship, which explains how the liaison got on board the Enterprise so quick.

its over emotional without the ghey shyt, its west wing level drama on the show at this point
