Star Trek Discovery. [SPOILERS WITHIN]

So - the probe data is still on Discovery too, right?

I believe so.

Yes, that's the only reason they had to travel to the future. If they'd been able to send the data separately, they would have done so.

I truly appreciated Michael going full Boimler and getting swallowed by the trance worm. At least she got to come out the front end.

Right. Was there a specific reason this time would be considered safe? Or did they just think, hey, it's o far in the future, Control probably won't reach us there?

It's past the point where Super-Control could possibly exist.
Like burning the T-800 chip before 1997 in T2.

I assume organic life is able to defeat and purge Control fair and square so long as Control doesn't get the data, so any time after that conflict would have been fine.

The specific target time and location was based on where Michaels Mom was located in the future.

I know there are some people here who think SMG deserves all the Emmys, but damn. She made some acting choices in this episode that would make Avery Brooks blush.

Sarah Michelle Gellar? Was she the grunt behind the second Andorian?

Not only is she not the only Slayer anymore, she's not even the only SMG anymore either.

Sad!

there's a review in The Guardian which says that they saw the first four episodes and they are reunited sometime within those eps

minor thing - I really like the featured Orion and Andorian pair. I could have stood for them to be recurring characters.

Methinks the cat has something in common with Tranformers, there’s more than Mets the eye.

That was my first thought too. I'd love a changeling, but I'll settle for whatever Gary 7's cat was.

Oooooh.

I thought the cat was also the space slug thing?
The Andorian said something about her feeding a village for a month.

Yeah, but the Mets suck.

I'm expecting the second episode to follow Discovery and not see Burnham in it, and then have them meet each other in the third episode. Right at the end of the episode most likely, but it would be a nice fakeout if they make it seem like they'll be looking for each other all season then at the start of the episode pre-credits just have them bump into each other.

From what I've been reading the new season has been getting very respectable reviews. Critics like the change of location and how the show is working it's way back to more classic Trek.

Liked the first episode.

Fuck the cat. I hope it dies in a transporter accident.

If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!

(Because you are the man you are, it's better to leave you alive in your suffering - a man who hates cats has no joy in life. No, not even if you like dogs.)

There are two kinds of people in this world:

1. Dog people.
2. The shallow end of the human gene pool.

I actually really like cats. I'm just tired of seeing them on Star Trek.

If it's any consolation, even though I'm a dog person I was also really hoping that Porthos died in a transporter accident.

He could still re-materialize.
He could.
He could!
If God really wanted him to!

What does God need with a beagle?

Porthos became pure energy and is currently pissing on any of the Q who choose to be a tree for part of their eternity.

apparently Kurtzman told someone that there's no going back, they stay in the 32nd for the rest of the series
