Watched the TNG episode 'The Defector' last night. Now that's quality ST!

Agreed. Great episode.

A mediocre episode. I can't stand the Klingons. They are just so badly done. The only character I love watching is the captain. He's excellent.

I love Jason Isaacs, he's usually pretty damn good!

It isn't good. It isn't bad. It's incredibly average but I'm sure it will grow. 1st series has a lot of character building to do. Hopefully that will start properly soon too

It'll get there, the first season of TNG wasn't exactly stellar either especially the first couple of episodes.

Just watched the latest Orville. That was much better imo. It is a lot more like TNG than discovery. Hopefully season of discovery is better.

There are some classic episodes - even voyager has some decent stories now and again.

Preferring the expanse to discovery - many times over actually.

Shamrock · 11 Nov 2017 at 20:53

That's the thing, I haven't watched TNG, DS9 or VOY in years. My disappointment in Discovery has made me go back again. At least something good has come of it.

Well the last episode of 2017 is this Monday apparently, the show continues early January.

hate gaps mid-season

Was the last episode on netflix missing klingon subtitled for anyone?
Perhaps i am meant to have studied the language by now?

Mid-season gaps, Neilson ratings and not releasing show globally is why stuff gets pirated, its like the TV industry has learnt nothing from how the music industry was effected when the internet started to get faster and people found mp3...

Surprised we had to wait 7 episodes this season to get an away mission.

VoG · 12 Nov 2017 at 16:56

I'm hoping when they come back from the mid season hiatus they will see sense & ditch the spoken Klingon, only wheel it out for "ceremonial" reasons, & also now that they've committed to a season 2 that should help the quality of the writing with a bit of luck.

The spoken Klingon should have disappeared after the first five minutes of the first episode they were on screen.

Well in the mid season finale, they do ditch the Klingon for part of the episode as Burnham seems to have a universal translator built in to her communicator.

I do agree that the whole mid-season break thing is an odd concept. I think it's due to the way the networks have shows structured to fill certain slots. Quite why they can't just commission new shows that start as soon as a previous TV show finishes rather than breaking the existing TV show season in half is beyond me. It also begs the question, do Americans not watch TV between mid December and early/mid January?

Captain was ruthless. He risked the life of the Chief Engineer to take them exploring and undoubtably probably killed him in the process via making him jump forever trying to find home dimension.
Sliders much!

Quite enjoyed that episode.

Glanza · 13 Nov 2017 at 16:59

Decent episode for the break, not a fan of the PTSD subplot they've started to push.
