conulyAnd then it's on hiatus, so I can take a few, catch up on Supergirl and decide if I want to catch up on The Flash or not.
1. Are they not going to use the word "cloak" this entire episode?
2. I think we got names for all the bridge crew I wondered about, but I didn't catch 'em.
3. Oooh, Captain Tilly!
4. There's a war going on, but we're in the middle of a classic ST episode of ideas, aren't we? But I've read the spoilers, I know how it's gonna end!
5. Nice when they take the opportunity not to kill a powerful female character.
6. Oooh, conspiracies afoot!
7. And romancing, I see.
8. You know, a life sentence seems a little extreme. I'm sure the Federation has an appeals process, she just didn't avail herself of it.
8a. Besides, it's a big galaxy.
9. How much of this is her real feelings, and how much of it is her manipulation?
10. The planet is one with the energy beings, the universe is one with the spores, this show is one with a theme.
11. Good thing I read the spoilers here.
12. And here we interrupt a perfectly good race-against-time for more Klingon soap opera shit. Yay.
13. Is this seriously the first time she realized those people were dead?
14. Meditations on the human condition via aliens. Yes, this is the ST we all signed up for. No sarcasm.
15. Those poor, dumb energy aliens.
*************
1. He who turns and runs away, lives to run another day.
2. And honestly, the Pavans are too dumb for this shit.
3. Itchy? That's the best he can do? (And yet, I knew he was gonna say it.)
4. Don't worry, Stamets. I'm sure they can't discover you're displaced in time. It's still too early for that.
5. Nope, I was wrong.
6. More of the Captain's bullshit emotional manipulation.
7. MULTIVERSE CONFIRMED. THIRD TIMELINE, BABY!
8. He doesn't care, Stamets. He's just interested in getting you to do what he wants.
9. Oops.
9a. Yup, a great explanation for hiding crucial information from his partner and doctor.
10. Dude, don't you think they'll see those hulking big sensors? Sooner or later? Or hear them? My god, they even glow.
11. The fact that you spent seven months there without a jailbreak does not make *me* sanguine about your hacking capabilities, buddy-boy.
12. DRAMATIC REVEAL TIME! Of course, if the Captain had chosen literally anybody other than the man who really ought to be suffering PTSD due to his seven months in a Klingon prison, that reveal would have had to wait. LOL, thank goodness all decisions on DISCO are made for the sake of plot!
13. "He's in shock, and this is more proof that my ex Lorca is an incompetent shithead. Seriously, who the hell sends a guy with Klingon-induced PTSD on a mission like this?"
14. Don't UTs come equipped with headphones? You know, so you can be stealthy!?
15. Don't Klingon ships have cameras!?
16. This is why you shouldn't talk to people, Kol, they just get under your damn skin. Did you forget that you wanted to warp? It's an obvious distraction!
17. Is screaming in panic an approved therapeutic technique?
18. Good job stealing the badge off of him. Pity he's not going to be around to suffer the lost face personally.
19. Man, that sounds like a trick. "We can't get him here by telling him he's a screwup, so we'll tell him he's getting a medal. Yeah, that'll do it."
20. Good job, Stamets. You have to take care of yourself.
21. Well, that was creepy. But we already all figured out the twist. So whatever.
22. WAIT WHAT? HOW CAN MY DOWNLOAD FAIL NOW? I HAVE LIKE TWO MINUTES LEFT!
Damn. My stream of the last ep cut off at the very end. What happens after "One more jump, then I'll have a lot of time"?
