Perestroika posted:Is Admiral Cornwell in particular Lorca's direct superior, though? Like, there are a whole lotof admirals and captains around in Starfleet, and they're probably not all within the same organisational structure. From the looks of it, it seemed like Lorca's chain of command had him answering to that Vulcan admiral, not Cornwell. So while it's still skeevy, boning a technical superior who's in a separate branch/fleet/army group doesn't seem quite as compromising. Think he was just talking to the Vulcan because of the Sarek situation.

Paradoxish posted:It's more hosed up that the writers don't seem to understand or acknowledge how hosed up it is. Lorca is clearly damaged and not fit for command and Admiral Cornwell is in a weird position given how and why she knows that, but that's not even like a five second plot point. How would you expect it to be acknowledged? It seemed pretty clear to me how hosed up all of it was, didn't need to be directly shown or said any more than it was.

I have just binged watched all of Discovery today. While the first two episodes were a little wobbly it found its feet running by the third episode. I am loving Captain Malfoy so much. I think this a pretty drat good Trek show to be honest. I am hooked

I mean that it's hosed up for Cornwell to be screwing with Lorca's career while being involved in a decidedly non-professional relationship with him. It's weird for your boss to fire you based on something that happened in a relationship outside of work even if she's totally justified in doing so. Even two seconds of dialogue from her or Lorca about the conflict of interest would have been something.

And maybe it would make sense for Lorca to protest on those grounds, but he already has a more aggressive plan to make it go away.

I do like having a non-evil admiral. They sort of got off that though. Admiral Forrest in Enterprise was a good dude and Admiral Ross in DS9 had... some flaws but wasn't like a TNG admiral.

Ross was working with Section 31 according to that one episode where Bashir goes to Romulus. Other than that he was OK. I don't recall Forrest doing anything shady.

It's cool seeing all these posters in utter dismay over a board member keeping a fuckboy on the payroll and letting them fail upwards like it was something new. Five pips means you get to gently caress whatever you'd like and no one says poo poo because of the aforementioned five pips.

to some fans, but I've always thought it was ridiculous to try to claim that Starfleet isn't military. They fight the Federation's wars. That's the very definition of being the military; everything else is beside the point. They may prefer to think of themselves as explorers, and in peacetime they do quite a bit of science and exploration. But it all gets dropped like a hot potato the instant it's time to go blow poo poo up. When war breaks out, if there's ongoing science that would be useful for weapons research or military effectiveness, you better believe that's how it's going to be applied. You know, like happens in the entire premise of Discovery.

I really do think it is highly enjoyable and I love the fact the Captain is suffering with PTSD and has a sketchy background. Seeing Dwight from the office took me out of it a little as I spent way too long trying to figure out where I had seen him before.

We must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom! Seriously though, i can't tell who likes and who hates it anymore, people just argue about lighting and warp signatures. I'm with you though, it scratches a very specific itch i have for space battles and klaxons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0B8iIYjO4U Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Oct 29, 2017 |

I like it, it's just easier to point out weird bits than to describe why I like it. I guess I like how everything looks and that they have some non sexy women in the main cast. And the Klingon war / spore drive plots are interesting enough to make me want to watch the next episode. And in between there's some pew pew Star Trek stuff to keep me entertained.

Discovery has Space Orcs called Klingons or something like that. I don't know why the title of this thread isn't Space Orc: Nipple Clamps but to each their own. This random statement is also my review.

People were complaining about the type of LEDs used after the pilot aired. I was there. I saw it all and I'll never be the same. You people are clownish buffoons still coming to terms with the fact your mascot turned out to be a child molester. Your views and opinions ever suspect.

The usual suspects have shat the bed so hard at the idea of Trek that isn't identical to the Trek from their childhoods that they have actually propelled themselves into strange new beds, which are now also beshitten. It's the same reaction that TNG and DS9 had when they started, but through the filter of the internet instead of tear-stained letters to the studio. This isn't Star Trek, that bald Englishman is ruining it.#NotmyHarryMudd. Of the people not wearing replica uniforms, or who have the basic ability to watch and understand a simple TV show, the reaction hasn't been nearly so negative.

It's pretty funny to see purebred autism that got tricked into watching this show because it's called star trek interact the actual show, which is at least trying to have subtext or expect something from the viewer rather than having 5 beige people spout exposition in exact lockstep, their dilated pupils fixed on the camera

It doesn’t stick the landing sometimes, and there are definitely still some reservations I have with even the basic concept, but I really like most of the characters and am totally down with the Discovery being the experimental weirdo ship being captained by a literal crazy person.

It would have been nice if the show didn't come off like a 13 years old's hyper serious and totally grown up fanfic from 1997 original characters do not steal Like I know that Trek got stagnant and needed to shake things up but even when this show has a good idea like the LSD drugs engine it ends up totally underwhelming, just like the last two loving shows
