Every thread about Discovery absolutely HAS to be full of people saying they don’t like it. Like, great, okay, we heard you for the first five years since it came on the air. We get it. Why are you still so obsessed with it that you have to make sure everyone knows your opinion that it sucks whenever it comes up?
I mean I could name many shows or franchises that I don’t enjoy, but I don’t make a point to jump into the very thread about them and whine about it. Move on! It’s okay to not like things! You don’t have to keep watching it! You have my permission to do something else!
But we’ve also never really seen the details of how a ship transitions from one captain and crew to a new one. This is an opportunity to depict how Starfleet ensures continuity of command and crew cohesion when something happens to one of their captains.
I like seeing that there’s a system of mentoring and intership collaboration in place so that when there’s a sudden shakeup in the crew roster it’s not an unforeseen calamity but just another eventually they all trained for. Presumably this is happening all across the fleet, and it could well be that Kirk is doing this with several other ships as well as part of his command track.
It only seems strange because we know he’s destined to take Pike’s chair. He doesn’t know that. He’s just learning and absorbing all he can about how different crews function.
Seems to be like a Starfleet mentoring program we just haven’t seen in action before. It makes sense to me that they’d want their rising stars to get some exposure to other established captains and develop relationships with other crews beyond their own. I like it.
Yeah, except for that damned pus-filled boil that is the Osu logo. It’s a pox that never goes away. I despise every person involved with putting it there.
Yep, there they are. It’s less noticable because everyone wears pants/leggings under them, unlike in TOS/TNG, where a skirt/skant meant bare legs. The effect is almost more like a long tunic or jacket.
Maybe Pike keeps the ship’s environmental settings a little colder than the others, so nobody wants to free the knees.
Credit is definitely owed to Discovery for giving us this iteration of Pike, Una, and Spock. Flawed and uneven as that show is, they did hit this one out of the park.
On the other hand, she made a breakthrough in actually opening up to Kirk, and he didn’t reject her for it. If anything, him being unavailable for other reasons may be a relief to La’an, releasing her to focus on other things now that she knows that door is closed to her (at least for now).
