Hate all you want but mirror saru’s puberty rage was great. Also whoever said LDS would be a good landing zone for space hitler was 100% correct.

Also the comm badge transporter that’s able to transport itself that he’s whinging about has been a thing since Nemesis. Data slaps one of them on Picard to get him off the Scimitar before he blows it the gently caress up.

Transporters along with replicators are the epitome of Space Magic that when thought about too hard invalidates literally the entire premise of any Star Trek show. "Captain, our dilithium crystals have all exploded!" "Well, uh... replicate more!" "But dilithium is a special chemical compound that our Space 3D Printers can't create from whacking energy and mass together like literally everything else. That's why it makes the ships go." "Well, uh... pull a backup from the pattern buffer from the last time we beamed dilithium cargo aboard." "On it!"

They were also, at their purest idea level, a plot contrivance to get Kirk and co. down to the Planet of the Week because they realized they couldn’t land the Enterprise as-designed and they didn’t have the budget to build full-scale shuttle sets yet. Also every real world experiment with teleporting particles has more or less confirmed the whole “the transporter kills you” theory...

If I had no idea what Star Trek was or its history and saw this episode, the Guardian reveal would have seemed like something out of a Tim and Eric sketch. But I do know Trek and therefore I liked it.

Anyone besides Burnham being sad is ridiculous. Also, wouldn't they immediately be able to see her whole life? This whole episode feels like it could've fit within the last one. Were Airam and Niellsen both on the MU disco?

The toast scene could have been good if it was the crew basically standing around awkwardly having a hard time coming up with anything nice to say until someone broke the ice. I wish this show would be as over-the-top operatic and enthusiastic about gay space communism as it is about MU fascism.

Okay, didn't see her either so I'm guessing they are just trying to reinforce that airam and lt nielssen are different entities. Which is kind of weird, the only reason I know lt nielssen and airam are the same actress is because people talking about it. I would never rcognize that actress from her time as Airam. Hell, I swore the fleshier parts of that face were still latex or rubber.

Looking into it some more, Airiam was there, but not blue because I guess she's just a normal human here. Hannah Cheesman has a credit on IMDB for Terra Firma Part 1 and there is someone that looks kind of like her on the Bridge to the left of Killy.

Georgiou pops out on the NX-01 during its last mission and kidnaps a dying Trip in 2161, using 32nd century medical tech to save him from his injuries. Together with Reed, the three work together to beat the poo poo out of a time displaced Ash Tyler for being such a goddamn loser.

LOLInverse article posted:"Burnham and Georgiou were going to beam down to the planet expecting to find the Guardian, and instead come across a lone house with a garden — not unlike the house in TNG’s “The Survivors. Its sole occupant, a mysterious Gardener, would turn out to be the Guardian," the writers explain. "Georgiou was going to live out her final hours there choosing to have a perfect day with (Prime) Burnham -- it involved baking an apple pie!"

-In one ep someone calls Michael the best there is, and that she hasn’t achieved full greatness yet -Gotta love alt Michael achieving all her goals, having the Empress at phaser point... now gonna hold this position until help arrives... -“I was gone 3 months!” I legit thought it was maybe three days. -try counting the number of cuts during fight scenes.
