You talk about guest captains going evil, so that got me thinking. What if Lorca is a decoy protagonist and the Discovery is ment to be Michael's ship all along and season one is just one big prologue.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43018597765115992672017-10-28T20:48:48.966-04:002017-10-28T20:48:48.966-04:00I just rewatched this episode and yes, the katra t...I just rewatched this episode and yes, the katra thing happened after Michael was attacked by Vulcan extremists.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-11391056813005520702017-10-27T19:55:29.716-04:002017-10-27T19:55:29.716-04:00I know how I feel about Michael being Spock's ...I know how I feel about Michael being Spock's adopted sister--I don't like it.<br /><br />What I'm not sure about is how I feel about Discovery in general. I love Jason Isaacs as Lorca, and he is what is keeping me coming back. Well, he's one of three, actually. Also really like Anthony Rapp and Doug Jones in their roles. I also get a kick out of Tilly. <br /><br />But, I don't care much for Michael. And I really wished that they would have just left the connection between Michael and Spock alone. I rolled my eyes when I found out that Sarek is Michael's adopted father (although James Frain is knocking it out of the park as Sarek). But I really wish that the familial connection to Spock wasn't there. <br /><br />Although, there is precedent to Spock not talking about family members, although that is assuming Star Trek 5 being a canon movie, and I don't like the idea of Star Trek 5 being a canon movie! (Although I'm a defender of Star Trek 5 for being hilarious, it's still not a good movie and can easily be taken out of the continuity without losing anything.) <br /><br />In fact, I still have a hard time remembering that this is supposed to be before TOS. The technology is just too advanced for it to be 15 years in the future. <br /><br />But, that's just me.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609424771874961444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77598576519979321242017-10-26T21:00:56.872-04:002017-10-26T21:00:56.872-04:00Another very good episode!

(Someone on AV Club joked on one of my comments over there that the crew had some other shirts with VERY). I once had the idea of having Discovery for the name of a Trek series a while before they had actually announced it. Got to say I never thought about shorthands like STD, DIS and DISCO before now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90116820058212587672017-10-26T13:21:14.280-04:002017-10-26T13:21:14.280-04:00Mark, I haven't watched the episode a second t...Mark, I haven't watched the episode a second time yet, but plan to soon, so I'll check when I do.
