New Star Trek series - 2017

Fab ep

From the 'soon', I would guess that Tyler is Voq and L'Rell has some kind of "Gosh that Italian family at the next table sure are quiet" kind of activator.

A bit predictable really but this has grown on me, hope it keeps the pace up

Well yes. They're not even being subtle about it any more. The moment he saw L'Rell and started having visions was a dead giveaway. The conversation in the brig confirmed it beyond reasonable doubt. There's maybe a fraction of a percent chance that it's some grand misdirection on the part of the writers. So yeah, at this point, I don't really see how Tyler could NOT be Voq.

On another topic, I'm super happy they seem to be moving away from the "Klingons speaking Klingon 100% of the time" thing. The actors, when speaking English, are actually able to... you know... act. And emote. And all that good stuff.

So are we to assume that Discovery has jumped to a different quadrant (like the Gamma quadrant) and hence why there was no spore drives or mention of it in other trek series?

Enjoyed that one.

Maybe they will meet The Caretaker and get sent home

Nah, they were banging on that much about alternative dimensions in that ep that I'd be surprised if it wasn't (plus with the jump not going as normal). The writers aren't exactly.....subtle.

Yeah the spore drive works without the navigator, you just end up somewhere random.
I just hope the spore drive doesn't get too silly, like the holodeck was..

It's almost certainly the mirror universe, with the Terran Empire and whatnot.

I enjoyed that & hallelujah for the translator/communicator, goodbye to growing old whilst they grind their way thru spoken Klingon!.

MeatLoaf · 13 Nov 2017 at 23:30

I'm sure I read somewhere that discovery will visit the mirror universe so no doubt that's where they are

melmac · 13 Nov 2017 at 23:37

What a surprise, that episode was really good. I thought it had lost it's way after last weeks episode but what a recovery

Really looking forward to seeing what happens next!!

Maybe they were already in a parallel universe and now they've jumped to the prime universe.....

There was that ending of episode ep5 “Choose Your Pain.”, where Lt. Stamets mirror image stood fixed as he left the room?

No, the Federation never existed in the mirror Universe.

james.miller · 14 Nov 2017 at 04:39

THE mirror universe? There's an infinite number of them

Efour · 14 Nov 2017 at 05:39

I liked it. It seems like up to this point was a massive series of pilot episodes, trying out a bit of everything, testing ideas.

I don't know if they will stay where they are, I personally hope so, as that gives them free reign to do whatever they want in future episodes and no longer be lambasted by older fans.

It was a fine line up until this point but as corney and predictable as it was it was still very decent.

I need to watch Again I have no idea where you got this from. I just took it as 9 months of torture PTSD as it seemed at face value? I must have missed a lot, I was eating dinner after all

So im all up to date, however reading on wiki (as that last episode seemed cliffhangery) the 10th episode is on in jan and it looks like its the last one of the series.

There is more than just two universes, there's an infinite number. It's entirely possible that the last jump they did created a whole new one.
