This doesn't relate to this series but I thought it was pretty awesome if you are a Star Trek fan.

I love that you could see some of the musicians properly geeking out at playing the tunes while others were almost rolling their eyes.

Thanks. That was very nice.

Episode 8.

What a mess? Just feels so disjointed and unexplained. It looked so promising at the start, an away mission, with an arguably strange objective?
The Klingon story just is baffling me.
Again they are crossing the whole galaxy in ten minutes, what's the point of this spore drive.
Why don't they jump back to the best shipyard, retrofit discovery with 20 torpedo launchers, so every fight they have they anhilate everything?

It's watchable but Trek for teenager. This episode should have been titled Avarcrap

That first officer gets worse every week. Just about the most unsuitable crew member they could have taken to the planet, then he goes off the deep end like some hippy "I'm not afraid!" nonsense.

He does seem to be the most enormously unlikely choice for a first officer. He is essentially a pacifist who avoids conflict, he doesnt exude confidence, he doesnt instill morale or camaraderie amongst the crew, he seems indecisive and not good at decision making, wracked with insecurities. If you were picking a crew, he is the least likely person you would make a first officer.

This is one of my problems with STD, Lorca has been given one of the most powerful ships in Trek, and free reign to do what he needs to do to win the war, yet his crew choice is so far off base, not only from an actual crew member being able to do their own job POV but from a StarFleet POV its just wrong...

The ship spins like a Disney character. MEEP MEEP
The captain is the only character who remotely belongs on a warship.

Yeah, everyone knows that people with PTSD make the best warship captains...

Having watched all series since the beginning this is the worst, close to giving up

VincentHanna · 7 Nov 2017 at 10:54

You think this is worse than TNG Season 1?

Ok.

I do. Even if season 1 of tng was weaker than the rest of the show, at least they had a good cast.

Slowly this show is becoming a chore to watch for us

This week's episode wasn't the best and it painted the first officer in a poor light. It wasn't terrible though, just a bit weaker. Before you judge, please remember "Fair Haven".

Also dont forget the Classic TNG Classicly awful episode.
Voyager was just a glint in its pappys Eye at this time.

Episode 8 felt like it could have been a good episode but ended up feeling like it should have been at least 3 separate episodes. A total mishmash

Dude needs spacing as far as I'm concerned. Useless lump of ****.

i don't understand what happened in ep 8??
it was like scenes were missing.

VincentHanna · 7 Nov 2017 at 20:05

First officer wasn't possessed or anything. It's the first time he had ever experienced life without fear and it was something he couldn't give up willingly.

aardvark · 7 Nov 2017 at 20:09

i've been liking this show so far but ep 8 was terrible - saru's actions are totally out of character and all of a sudden he is super strong for no reason.
But the Klingon story - what the hell is going on here??? is the admiral dead, did she escape - it made no sense at all.
