Star Trek Discovery

[RedVee]

I struggled with S3 e1... e2 better. I think this show I just have to watch every season twice for it to "sit" with me.

Ok I rewatched S3 e1 - very good. I dunno what happened I must have slept through half of it last time around.
I've now seen all 3 episodes and am enjoying it.

 

[Alkali Ike]

I just watched S3E3. This is like an entirely different show, and in a good way.

S3E6. Now we're talking.

Spoiler

Retrofitting Discovery with future tech: programmable matter, new com badges with holographic iPads and tricorders, and a shuntless Spore drive interface for Stammets.

This season has the potential to go really cool directions now.

Can't wait to uncover the lore behind "The Burn".

I swear I'm not trying to mess with @Gorn. But this season is far better than the previous seasons. It's no longer just passable. It's really good.

And yes, Michael cries in E6.

I'll watch it when it's over if I can finagle a cbs trial. I won't pay for it. But I'm glad you fellas are enjoying it.

Just watched S3 E6... yep, it is getting good. It's getting it's own thing about it.

Dudes,

I don't know if it's just the sheer exhaustion of this year but man, I'm having the hardest time following this Discovery season. I watch an episode and I can barely recall what I had just watched by it's end. From what I can gather, they are like 900 years in the future where the Federation is not a major galactic hegemon.

I've gone back to watching TOS episodes for simpler stories and episodes.

930 I think.

yes, I have taken to watching the previous ep recap st the start of the episodes now.

I would have previously said this is impossible from Discovery.

The latest episode made me a little emotional.

 

[Rusty Chainsaw]

This season is phenomenal. Proper Star Trek. And I'm digging the new, upgraded Discovery-A with its funky detached nacelles.

Nice tie-in to Picard this week, with the Qowat Milat (who raised Elnor) and their tradition of 'absolute candour'.

I'm loving the tributes to departed characters this season too - USS Nog (RIP Aron Eisenberg), USS Yelchin (RIP Anton), and, of course, the Spock hologram in this week's ep.

 

[Alkali Ike]

These new episodes are worthy of repeat viewing.

Actually I think they demand it

The first two seasons should be condensed down into a one or two hour synopsis. Expunge the rest.

Season 3 is orders of magnitude better. Someone figured out the right recipe.

 

[Alkali Ike]

Just finished S3E10. Pretty darn good. They used a plot device from one of the best episodes of TOS: City On The Edge Of Forever. Not gonna say more about that. But S3 is far better than previous ones.

 

[Gorn]

Is season 3 better Star Trek? Or just better space action? Do they explore at all?

It feels much "Trekkier" this season. Mostly more in a TNG sort of way rather than TOS, but having the 31st century backdrop and all the new tech makes it feel fresh. Although there was a great nod to TOS this past week.

Both Discovery and The Mandalorian have included gratuitous, blatant fan service this week, but fan service done right.

It's 900+ years in the future from Season 2. A **LOT** of things have changed, some of which make space exploration a near impossibility. If exploration is what you want, you probably won't like S3 any more than the previous seasons.

Is the fate of the galaxy/all sentient life at stake?

Edited

They have some other very big and more interesting issues to deal with.

I hated Season 1, and thought Season 2 was only slightly better. Season 3 however, is the best Trek since TNG.
