The initial intro incorporating 'The Cage' was utterly inspired, loved it

It was a nice nod to the past but it was jarring when it cut back to Discovery. Still I have to say this week was another improvement, hopefully they can keep this momentum going for the rest of series. One thing that helped was having Burnham off the ship for the past two episodes it's allowed the other characters to spread their wings especially Pike.The initial intro incorporating 'The Cage' was utterly inspired, loved it
Every episode seems to be them looking for a lost crew member. They also seem to have a load of time critical situations, yet manage to stop in the middle and have a chat and a hug when they should be running for their lives and the lives of the crew at risk (usually because they are having to rescue a stuck crew member).
Looks like CBS is going to get it's ass kicked for copyright theft:

Oof. That seems distinctly un-good. Production troubles biting them in the rear again.

I took a break from discovery for a while as it was getting on my nerves a bit, but ended up watching three episodes last night. I agree with this, especially in the episode where they had to rescue tilly.
They had three minutes to get back to the ship before it was destroyed, yet they stood around talking and hugging?

Why do you listen to that guy? Just look at the videos he posts...

No wonder you think SJW's are infecting everything listening to that rubbish!
I'm really worried about the hot robot, Airiam.
I hope she doesn't die
As female robots go she's really not that hot
Actually i loved the cut from old Pike to Discovery Pike. They made two actors that don't really seem alike to very briefly seemed like they looked like each other.
I agree when it comes to talking about STD.
(Also the YouTuber Bowlestrek)
I think they are spot on when they talk about Dr Who, I agree with most of their stuff, and that's why I watched their vids for a while.
But the sheer venomous hatred they have in their hearts for STD is astonishing. I don't know what it must be like to live like that, having to rip apart every single tiny plot point they don't agree with as if STD stole their car and killed their dog.
I've been watching a few eps of TOS lately in my spare time so I too thought I fired up the wrong show upon clicking on it! Great intro overall.
I am really interested in this future threat to the galaxy after seeing the the last episode though!

Exactly - If a show is making you angry, stop watching it! I've binned loads of shows
The trouble with Youtube is that the 'content creators' mainly care about views/subscribers rather than actually enjoying stuff, and when they start attracting a specific crowd they cater more towards them. Then the Youtuber ends up watching a show they hate just to keep up their output.
Back to Discovery, I think Season 2 has been really good so far, and at this stage in it's life it's better than TNG, Voyager and Enterprise were (e.g midway through Season 2)
I'll be interested what Mike and Rich at RedLetterMedia make of Season 2, as they are pretty hardcore trek fans and they did not particularly like Season 1, but I get the impression this might pull them around.
And they release 1-2 videos about it every year, rather than reviewing every episode with a massive agenda.

This really irked me too. It was ridiculous. Not the first time they have been under time pressure and then stop for a chat.
SpinnyIndianCam needs to go ffs. What does the director think he/she is achieving?
Edit: Excellent episode 9 overall. Good Mass Effect feel to it too. Great interactions with Spork and Michael and for once she couldn't save the day by fast talking her way through a major predicament. Great lines in this episode too.
It is about time the show made use of Owowo, Detmer, Nahn, Harry Kim wannabe (sorry) and the other chap. Owowo and Detmer just stare at each other continually so they need some episodes dedicated to them. It was great to see Nahn finally made use of, so that is a good start.

It's not the director as it's been a dofdiffer director every episode.
Jonathan Frakes who played Riker in TNG director this episode .
Yeah I realise that, either way someone needs a right kicking. It feels so out of place, especially in this episode.
Steady on. I know when the bar has been set so low, any improvement can be seen as fantastic, but it's just "better".
