Oded Fehr was in the "Mummy" movies,
but I remember him most from "Sleeper Cell."
And, David Cronenberg, for writing, "The Brood," "The Fly," "Dead Ringers," "Naked Lunch," and, directing, "Dead Zone."
This ep was good, very good? Very much liked Saru's happy ending, and thought the distance between our leads as a parallel to our distance from the series... been a while, (they should've called), and, maybe it's hard to move past some things we're critical of.
Hope everyone's heard the news about the possible upcoming reboot of all things Trek, if the sale goes through. But, some things already in the pipeline are supposedly still going to materialize. I'm looking forward to Star Trek without Kurtzman!
You know, I think what Dee Bradley Baker does with his voice, Doug Jones does with his body -- that thing he does with his arms as he walks is so alien, and graceful.
That was such a satisfying episode -- the show could end now, and I'd be happy. But, i hope it keeps going (and, I hope they do more Short Treks)!
[Edited by me to remove political statement. My apologies to the group -- this is not the forum for politics.]
I was not expecting it to end so suddenly, I fully believed it was the last episode of the season, can't wait to see how it's all resolved.
As a side note, I'm glad to see more positive comments than negative comments here. Is it too much to hope that those who only commented negatively for the sake of being negative have finally stopped watching?
Can see they are pushing further inner exploration and growth during these episodes. Not sure why there is so much hate for allowing the trek ethos to grow in this way. Think too many are not willing to move with the times and allow this show to deal with social issues like past trek shows have done in their own way.
I've really gotta stop reading these comments....
There has to be way more to this. I can’t just end like that. Mine blown.
I consider Doctor Who to be very similar to Star Wars. In the sense that it’s all Star Wars, you can have favourite characters and episodes, but saying things like “I don’t like the prequels they ruined it”, I’m sorry but you’re not a real Star Wars fan. This mentality can be used with Doctor Who. People who don’t skip whole seasons because they don’t like the person playing the character or the show runner is bad is not a real Doctor Who fan. This is what the show is, complaining about it won’t make you enjoy it more. Jodie is an amazing Doctor, Yaz is a great companion. You’re all just complainers.
I love this return to serial style set up. This episode is obviously all setup and there was a lot of characters to keep track of, but I really enjoyed this. I’m excited to see where it goes. I love this. Is it my favourite Doctor? Companion? Show Runner? No. But I understand and accept those things are out of my control. It’s all Doctor Who. And it’s all good.
all of you saying this season is boring you're clearly not watching the same show I am? learn to have some fun.
Loved seeing Doug Jones without makeup. Felt like classic Trek with the race switching
In contrast to most of the other comments, I thought this was a really great episode. I loved the whole sequence of developments with Michael, Saru, and Hugh on the planet; terrific graphics for the creature, too. I enjoyed the protective but glitching computer holograms that our group kept encountering.
My only real gripe with this episode was the solidifying of Tilly's recent promotion, which still doesn't really sit right with me bearing in mind all the other higher grade officers on board Discovery. I know she's proven herself to be a capable and competent member of the team but she doesn't have the nerve I would argue to be a good Number 1 - it's also why I think she doesn't really work in the mirror Terra universe. Don't get me wrong, I actually like her character/the actress but I don't think this development quite works; I would like to think it gets undone for season 4.
On a different note, I'm not quite sure what Adira's plan was beyond "potential suicide mission to bring more medication"; seemed a bit cavalier. Still, I'm excited to see how the story continues next week.
If I had an alter ego who smiles creepily at me I’d shit my pants.
This episode is rightly lauded as one of the best of the entire franchise. It's emotional, powerful and thoughtful and exemplifies exactly what the show is about. But, and I am frustrated with myself for saying this, I don't really love it all that much. This could be a product of having seen it a bit too often, or having it always rammed down my throat as BEST TREK EVAH!1!!
I get it, it IS quite wonderful, but I've always found it to highlight The Next Generation's inherent weakness, and that is that the episodic nature of the show. This is an episode that absolutely demanded to have repercussions for Picard as a character, and there are absolutely none. It should have utterly changed him as a person. The fact that this is such a self-contained episode makes it lose its power somewhat for me. Much in the same way that Worf is completely fine following 'Ethics' or that Riker falls in love but has forgotten all about it after 'The Outcast', TNG tells fantastic stories that you can dip in and out of at any time but so rarely rewards the viewer for watching.
That was quite an ending, one of the best comedies to ever grace television, will miss it.....
"-Uh.. i like jizz
-Ah shit. He ain't what he used to be."
Goodbye Veep, one of the greatest comedies of the decade, if not the best.
At least she didn't go crazy and burn all the innocent city folk.
Honestly, i don't know why all the hate on this show. I'm lovin' it. Hard.
This show is crimially underwatched. It's so fucking great. One of the best of the current shows on TV maybe even all time. Excited for the new season.
The only good thing about this show is that we're one week closer to The Walking Dead after each episode.
I think I'm laughing out of shock. They really botched the ending!!
a episode isnt bad because a character died, fu*k people who is downvoting here and IMBD because of Lexa's death, it was vital to move the plot foward, there was no other way and Lincoln died, yes, but we dont know the repercusions is going to have
also characthers die all the time in shows like this, get over it its FICTION, chill and enjoy the plot please.
edit: WTF with people harassing writers and producers of the show? the fanbase is disgusting
Wow, they actually killed Laurel, The Black Canary, but before she died she gave her blessing to "Olicity"?!!?!?!?!?! First Sara (but at least she came back only to go to another show), then Laurel, so I guess this means they'll kill of Lance next since he really has no purpose anymore. Oh wait, he's precious Felicity's mommy's stud muffin, so I'll guess he'll stick around and have tons to do! OMG, they can go shopping and buy Felicity and Oliver things for their apartment and clothes for their baby! When will this soap opera end and the real "Arrow" return?
Awesome plot twist! Didn't expect that at all from Dobbs! Season 4 sure is going to be very interesting! This series only gets better every next season
Absolutely amazing series. People who have not latched on to this yet are missing out.
"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go." lol, Peggy kills me.
Andre Braugher and Robert Sean Leonard in one episode. AWESOME.
also: why is everyone so mean to Carisi? He sucked in the beginning but he's come a long way. I think hazing time is over now, guys.
Where do we get the news from now on?
That last scene. That's the show i fell in love with.
holy.......................... this was me for 60 minutes: "wtf? WTF!"
