The blooper reel with Wesley doing the Riker "leg over chair" gag was outstanding. Especially since Frakes directed the episode. 

Man that might have been a favorite episode. So cool

Ok i think we have our galactic evil for the show now. That was Star Trek at its best. 

Something so old and evil that even Pelia was shitting her pants about it (when she wasn’t looking for camera time with Beto)

I wonder if these are the first actual encounter with the Pah-wraiths? A lot of parallels here, including how they're imprisoned. Food for thought, anyway.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I really dislike Nurse Chapel as a character… despite how hot she is.

Whatever they are, they seem to be mortal enemies of the Gorn. The Gorn appeared to be bred to fight them

Loved seeing that immediate visceral reaction from Captain Batel.

I cant help but see Mrs McMurray every time Batel is on screen.

Mmmmm… I get it Captain Pike. I get it. 

I will say one thing about this show is I could totally do without the relationship drama. I do not care at all.

That is what soured me on Discovery. Hopefully SNw keeps it at a tolerable level.

People are gonna fuck but it doesnt have to be a major plotline. Not waht star trek is about.

The thing is, it hasn't dominated too many episodes.

This week - A 60 second convo between La'An and Chapel about Spock and then what, 30 seconds of Uhura and Beto flirting? 

Meh.  Star Trek has always been pretty horny. 

It's more than that, almost the whole episode revolved around 3 pairs of people that range from full on couple to flirty will they won't they kids, with a jilted ex love dynamic cherry on top. It's just unnecessary and actually kind of lazy because you don't need sexual/relationship tension to build interpersonal dynamics. 

It's basically the only gripe I have with the show. Sure, Trek has always had horny shit but intermixed among plenty of complex character relationships that don't involve romance.

Plus shippers kept the damn franchise alive

Romance (and sex) has always been a part of Trek. 

I'm still convinced Voyager was having massive holodeck orgies, considering their circumstances.

Aside from the banging I cant imagine the amount of fapping going on. Especially in the holodeck. 3D printers in every room.

Picard was so pissed that the computer kept thinking that Earl Grey was a tea.

I’ve seen a lot more “criticism” that SNW season 3 has been sci-fi/body horror galore.

Gorn episode 1

Zombies episode 3

Poor guy’s eyes destroyed episode 5 (very Event Horizon inspired there)

Oh shit I didnt even catch that. Makes me wonder if Event Horizon was the inspiration for this inter dimensional eldritch terror.

I fucking love that movie 

Just needed Gamble to sit up and take off the visor and go “Libera te tutemet ex inferis”

Episode 4:

Spoiler

They do a good job of moving well-worn genre's, often more than one combined, and make them fresh. often respectfully poking fun at them.  Pirates, Alien, zombies and now cheesy 50's-60's sci fi.  All while lampooning TNG's holodeck failure episodes and Shatner's line delivery.  AND critiicizing AI.

They're tapped directly into ST fan's brains.  When this show runs out, we might actually die.

Episode 5 did not impress me.  

Spoiler

This time they copied Prometheus, with the bad decisions made by ostensibly well-trained officers.  Gambel just grabs that orb thing from the dead body.  Just picks it up and gets is eyes blown out.  So they beam him up and just continue the away mission like NBD?

Then Gambel gets into it with Mrs. McMurray.  Redshirts come in with weapons drawn, ostensibly set on stun.  Why not just shoot everyone and sort it our after.  Same for when he's in engineering.  Shoot him already.

Chapel doesn't wanna walk over the bridge.  Her BF tells her not to.  Spock tries to convince her to do it.  Spock, you are her superior officer.  "Nurse Chapel I order you to walk forward."  Then slap her BF.  

I'm gonna go Old Boomer here.  SNW young officers are pansies, not the kinda people you want in your foxhole, and definitely not the kinda officers Star Fleet should be turning out.  Friggen Gen Z, Man.  And Pike is no help.  Dude needs to drop the boom.

god damn GIF
 

Spoiler

Everyone left behind on the Farragut eventually became Kirk’s crew on Enterprise 

 

Spoiler

Pretty cool new villain they made there.

Also.  Phasers are awesome, but often prove ineffective.  Presumably the formula for gunpowder has not been lost.  Why not load up some Buffalo Bore 10mm a refurbished Glock.  Just in case.

Good episode. We see Ortegas' brother's documentary.

Not my favorite of the season but hard to follow up last week. Clunky at times and felt short, like they cut 5-10 min abruptly 

Latest episode is... fascinating.

No offense to the rest of the cast, and the 4 did a great job in their roles, but Carol Kane is stealing her scenes for me. She’s so funny 

I cannot believe said this episode didn’t land. This whole episode was amazing 

And the post credit scene! 

lol… what a setup for a Primanti Brothers wordplay joke.

Wait is that the theme of the episode?

I haven't watched the vulcan one or last night(cowboys game) so i need to catch up.

It's more of a prequel to TOS S1E18 "The Arena", but it reminded me of the other.
