Very boring episode. Hope the last few gets back on track

I came here to read some whining comments from right wing snowflakes about a character coming out as non-binary in this episode. I was not disappointed.

They / them... How bout F*** Off Star Trek Discovery. No more of this nonsense for me. I've put up with a lot of crap from this show because I like Sci Fi and I used to enjoy The Star Trek universe. But we never see the toilet in Any Star Trek show but we've seen it time and time again in this monstrocity of a sh!t show. B-bye

They / Them - give me a fucking break. Not this shit in Star Trek. “let’s include everyone” attitude in Hollywood is starting to ruin a lot of great shows.

Good god, did anybody catch that ridiculous exchange?. Had to rewind twice then Google wtf is going on. Heres my conclusion, unzip your pants and check! You know society has it too good when indulging social media fed attention seekers. I’m ‘special’ don’t you know. At least I was amused.

As a huge fan of first two seasons of Discovery, I hate to admit it. But this season is a mess. The "burn" premise is intriguing and the new 31st century setting is ingenious. And I love some of the new characters, including Starfleet Commander-in-Chief Charles Vance (Oded Fehr) and Booker (David Ajala).

But this season, especially notable on this episode, is marred by forced performances (especially Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham, although she's looking absolutely fabulous) and gender equality messages (in the future, it should not require any explanations).

I like where the season is heading, but I wish it would just move on. Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) is a treat as always and the new Starfleet Federation is an interesting concept.

“There is a problem in my brain, ergo I dress like a human spermatozoan.”
Always the great sarcasm of the former Terran Emperor.

So Burnham isn't first officer anymore, Tilly is (I already wrote about how idiotic that is last episode - which caused my hiatus). Yet Tilly isn't there when Burnham and Saru make all (but one) of the decisions.

To make matters worse, Tilly volunteers someone to do something which will get them "punished severly" proving that she is not cut out for the job (actually she shouldn't be an officer at all).
Officers should make the best decisions possible based on the situation, but if it is your idea, it is YOUR responsibility. Meaning she should make it an order and take the punishment herself.

Pretty bad season. This episode is definitely contributing to that.

Planet has an existential problem for one hundred years

Michael Burnham:
Can't you two just fix it?
No? What if we make you stronger?
Nice, problem solved in 15 seconds!

I could critizice a lot more. The usual disappointing script, badly developed characters, pacing that would ruin even a good story, bad acting ... but who actually cares anymore?
This series is trash, and we are only still here to see how much it will ruin the lore for future series.

Others have already expressed all my disappointments with this episode more eloquently than I could, save one... And no, it has nothing to do with Adira's pronouns; her and Stamets are carrying this whole series on their backs lately and I wish the writers would lean into it more.

My massive gripe is with the borderline-criminal level apathy on display this season by the makeup and prosthetics team, and the nadir (or zenith, take your pick) it's reached in the form of the Orion characters this season. On a show with such polished VFX and striking aesthetic choices to turn out alien characters from a well-known race yet look that unconvincing, even by TOS standards, feels like a coup de grâce of sorts.

I've been a Trekkie for far too long to even feign having reached my limit with this one to the point of not watching it anymore, but damn, sometimes it feeling like they're seriously daring me to do just that.

7/10
Another solid episode and once again it had a lovely flow to it and fantastic pacing. This Masterpiece of a show doesn't have one bad episode at all and can do no wrong. Every episode is like a movie with a fantastic well written story to go with it, with our Michael front and centre as she should be.
I love Adira They are Awesome and I love the family They have with Them's Two Dads, it's so sweet and genuine and I choke up everytime They are all on Screen together.
Tilly was Awesome, sorry Number 1 was Awesome taking one for the Crew in the decision to attack the Emerald Chain to save
Michael,Book and the planet. This is why she is top choice after Michael to be Number 1. Suru made the right call. Another very Trek episode from
The very best Trek Show.
Excellent VFX as always and now we are firmly on the Emeralds radar.
But with how Super Awesome this Crew is
There is nothing we can't face and overcome together.

I'm getting more confident that this show is heading in a good direction. The story doesn't feel that meaningful (e.g. due to time travel, "unprofessional" acting/characters, questionable decisions, etc.) but it is interesting, emotional, and fun to watch.

Accept what you are, even if you can change

I'm completely convinced that this is a story of bipolar Michael burnham. Her emotions change like 15 times in one scene. It's totally insane. And her constant changing to whispers?

This woman is either the best actress ever in the worst role ever....or the worst actress in the best role...can't decide.
