I had fun watching it! Its really nice to see all the old characters return.
C'mon writers! You can do better than this!
Spock and his girl switch bodies, and then all of a sudden they are both specifically needed at the same time? They let a random chick talk to an alien race for negotiations? And why the hell did they need Amok specifically to go talk to the guy when they could have always just punched the dude in the face and drag him away?
The writing is so transparent that I can literally see the writers hand in front of my face. There is like no immersion or soul in this show so far :(
A wanna-be humoristic episode that had me annoyed at the first two minutes and made me want to gauge out my eyes for the next 40.
Goddamn, the hell is this.
Guess I'll finish the season and be done with it like the rest of NuTrek.
Can't say we didn't give it a shot.
It annoys me that everyone seems to know about Section 31 when almost no one should know. Every time they ignore canon for no good reason it makes me want to track the writers down and slap the shit out of them.
Section 31 is suppose to be more like mission impossible than special forces. Carefully making little adjustments to keep the Federation safe and going in the right direction without anyone knowing.
I thought bringing the doctor back was a stretch.
Episode 2 this season was good progress for this show. This episode was not.
I would have liked more interaction with Pike, Michael, Georgiou
THIS SHOW IS STARTING TO SUCK REALLLLLLY QUICK! Remove Kwan's side story and every other side story and focus on master chief's story. People watch halo to watch master chief, not all these dumb ass side stories.
Kwan: Take the helmet off, they'll notice you. Kid takes helmet off and holds it. There is no way they can see the helmet when he is holding it....... dumb.
I do not like the "new" cortana. Stop fixing shit that ain't broke.
Unimpressed with the "build up" to the covenant attack. THIS ALL SEEMS SO DAM CHEESY!
MASTER CHIEF SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN HIS HELMET OFF!
Dam Liberal Hollywood has to make every white role an ethnic one. So old!
That was one of the least "related looking" TV-families I have ever seen, LMAO. The kids didn't look like brothers , and neither of them looked like the parents. Really odd casting choice.
it's exactly what you expect now from Marvel, a generic movie that doesn't feel like it has to try anymore. there comes a point when you can no longer suspend your disbelief with movies like this, characters like Thor, Iron Man etc getting thrown around and getting back up straight away i can buy because they are built to take the punishment, but when Natasha is getting thrown around, through the air and into walls with barely an injury to show for it, i can no longer suspend my disbelief. at 1 point, Natasha and her sister take a really nasty tumble in a vehicle which by all rights should have killed them, but nope, they get up and walk away from it. David Harbour's Red Guardian is wasted by being nothing more than comedy relief and also by being portrayed as a bad dad. Ray Winstone's character is quite frankly a boring forgettable villain and Taskmaster, or should i say Taskmistress, yep, they gender swapped him is turned into just another brainwashed victim of the villain. the action scenes, of which there are very few are broken up by tired family drama
Best episode so far. The first episode was the boring version of superheroes doing everyday things; this one is that done right. The fight scene at the beginning is probably my favourite scene of the entire show at this point, and while it takes some time to slow down after the craziness of the last episode, you can tell that stuff will go down in the final episode.
Even by the shows now very low standards this is bad!
Surely Fox just keep it on air for records now, nobodies enjoying these episodes
It's always nice to be able to enjoy a show without being nerdily familiar with the history of the story and the origins of everything from the books.... later on true fans and readers of the series will explain everything and I'll be just fine :grin:
A decent ending to a long meandering season.
Outside of a fun homage to Star Trek IV, there's not much substance to this episode --or this season so far. Most of this episode was stuff to fill the minutes, just fluff and no substance.
I have to agree with my fellow commenters. This was good Trek. My favorite episodes have always been away teams to other cultures. Combine that with some really good character interaction makes this one of my favorite episodes so far.
Just about every part of this was excellent. Adding Pike was the best idea they've had. The Pike/Micheal dynamic is great. Tilly and the doctor have become much fuller characters.
While the show can never be forgiven for what they did to the Klingons, they are doing a good job of course correcting.
It started off okay, apart from the “Klingorcs”. Where the fuck did they come from?
Sadly, it gets worse as the series continues. Star Trek has always tackled social issues, which was great and tried to show us how we as the human race could be. But, fuck me. We must be in a truly awful fucking place if we’re to follow the same logic.
The franchise has always seemed to inspire the more nerdy of us to invent wonderful things such as touch sensitive screens, tablets, mobile phones, WiFi and virtual assistants. The only thing I fear this shit will inspire is the inexplicable and totally unnecessary use of FUCKING WHISPERING.
I can only hope that Discovery does a “Dallas” in the next series (please make it the last) and we find out that all which has gone before was nothing but one of Burnham’s recurrent nightmares, caused by some form of trauma, for which she seeks help from Dr. Culber in 10 weekly appointments.
Crap episode this show just keeps getting worse with every episode sigh
Walking away from this series, all I can think is "Marvel has some very big budgets to tell some very mediocre stories"
Was so close to being pretty good, but then... This.
No, Disney, I'm not interested in just having a cliffhanger prepping me for a second season. So utterly dull.
Seems like it has potential, let's hope they can keep it up... then again, it's directed by Kurtzman... so, yeah.
If you're looking for an action and "turn brain off now" film, just don't watch it and spare us the 6-7 hearts review.
I for one, am very tired from 500$m crap like Indi Day and Marvel's poop. So I was very excited to watch this one.
This one is more like Spielberg's Encounters from the Third Kind. It's more about the characters in the film and the amazing journey they go through. It's mostly about the human behavior that will make you think.
While it's not an End of the World aliens movie like Battle: Los Angeles, it still offers great amount of military presence and plenty of stuff that's going on.
So if you actually want to care about an intelligent movie and use your head - go. Otherwise, go watch an X men.
Highly recommended for some audience 10/10.
2-feb-2017 edit: Just came out on Bluray and I saw it again. Definitely keeping my rating.
Watching again at July-2023, excited towards Dune II : Excellent. Excellent film. So called plot-holes listed here are negligible when the overall product is really thoughtful and masterfully crafted.
Oh look another show that has its natural flow interrupted by the same ol' industry standards plaguing everything else in the last few years. Hire hack writers who don't care about the source, hire every checkbox in the book, and then blame it on the fans for not liking it. Next.
Great movie. Andy Serkis played his role as Ceasar perfectly.
The computer animated apes look really amazing! I forgot a few times that they were computer animated, they looked so real. But according to a few sources no real apes where used in the movie because Rupert Wyatt (the director) wanted to show humanity's mistreatment and abuse of captive apes. Apes are the heroes of this movie, and humans are the villains. And Rupert Wyatt said he couldn't imagine a worse way of undercutting that message than by using real apes in the movie's production.
Another boring and predictable show that relies entirely on nostalgia bait (Hayden Christensen cameo).
No interesting dialogue at all, it looks cheap and mostly plays on barren planets again.
It’s clear that most fans find this season atrocious. Many complaints are that the characters that we all know so well are not behaving as they should. The final words of this episode spoken by Picard are ridiculous:
“I refuse to accept an outcome that has not yet occurred”.
That eliminates any planning, any strategies or any tactics decided on in advance! Just an attempt to cope after it happens. Absolute rubbish.
It just gets better and better so looking forward to next week !!! Looks fab
Why couldn't season 2 begin directly after the season 1 finale? No logic in the time jump.
Pretty good little show. It took me a while to relax and feel confident that Maigret was not going to turn into Mr Bean. Atkinson is nothing like Maigret from the novels but he does a good job playing a serious, talented detective nonetheless.
This is more my speed/style.
Star Wars and Anime were meant to be together. I hope we get a canon Star Wars Anime some day.
Mr Burns was totally right! maybe the best lines of the season
Despite some hate comments people made in the beginning of the show, I pretty much enjoyed it. Shoutout to Gillian, Michelle and Viola for their amazing performances.
Helle there…again.
This is where the fun begins.
