The character development of the robot/human character was :wow: all done in one episode too :banderas:

I :heh: whenever someone started crying cause it reminded me of the poster in this thread complaining about this show having too much crying :mjlol:

I always like in Trek when the crew shows sadness over an side character dying. In First Contact when the Enterprise blew up the Borg Cube and starfleet ship got blown up along with it and the Enterprise crew was just like :yeshrug:

That was me, but I admit it was warranted for this episode. This show does have a lot crying though. I have a hard time trying to think of an episode where no one cried. I haven't seen this much crying since the Yu Yu Hakusho, when they started OD'ing on flashbacks.

I really like these last few episodes. The cast seem to have decent chemistry. Reminds me of DS9 and TNG as they started to hit their stride.

So if is having Burnham live by the Red Angel saving her, does that mean we are in an slightly altered prime timeline( keep in mind technically every time Trek f--ks with the timeline it's a slightly altered version)

If I were any of the other bridge crew actors I would be worried as fukk if they come handing me a script with a lot of backstory and character development in it.

:mjlol: Facts. Goddamn Lorca didnt even make it and we have a bizzaro Phillippa running around since the real one got killed in the first damn episode of season 1. Damn near lost Saru and Tilly a couple of episodes ago. Meanwhile Michael can be on the top of a wrecked Klingon bird of prey in space fighting an actual Klingon and come out unharmed.

I still wanna smash tho :mjlit:

Star Trek universe may be expanding, but the cast of Star Trek: Discovery is going into Season 3 with two fewer cast members.

According to Deadline, both Anson Mount and Rebecca Romijn won't be returning to the Trek prequel after the second season. Mount, who played Captain Christopher Pike, and Romijn, who played Number One, were brought into the Trek prequel specifically to help bring Discovery's storyline closer to the original series, and were only given one-season contracts.

Both characters appeared in Star Trek's earliest episodes, which are set roughly 10 years after the events in Discovery. Pike, of course, was captain of the USS Enterprise before William Shatner's James T. Kirk took over the chair.

Pike's tragic fate was addressed on the original Star Trek series. While no details have been revealed on how the two characters will exit Discovery, Mount himself told SYFY WIRE back in January that his storyline won't be ending in tragedy.

Deadline also notes that Mount and an unnamed Discovery director got into an altercation on set, as previously reported. That issue was resolved by CBS's HR department, and apparently didn't factor into this decision.

This isn't the only casting change that the show will be dealing with. Over the weekend at Emerald City Comic Con, Rainn Wilson also confirmed that Harry Mudd won't be returning for the show's current sophomore season, but could still potentially return for round three, which was just confirmed last month.

Star Trek: Discovery is nine episodes through Season 2 now, with five more to go. You can check out new episodes every Thursday via CBS All Access.

Not shocked Pike is leaving...dude has to go back to the Enterprise.
Wonder if they will try to slot in another name from the past as captain or just come up with a new character to be the full-time captain of Discovery?

I gave up on this show a few episodes into the 2nd season but I keep seeing people praising this season might give it another try.

It's gotten better. It's hitting its stride. Recent episode is by far the best of the season so far.
The thing is I really dont think the show was made for me but I will keep trying anyway I was just gonna wait for the Picard show lol.
