I miss this type of episodes in Star Trek, I'm glad to see it brought back. Not only that, this was a good way to end the arc of the doctor and his daughter, neatly tied to the book too.
I hope this is not the end of the his daughter's story and they'll revisit her in the next seasons. There are questions to be answered and possibilities to explore regarding the nebula. Was it something like the Prophets in DS9? Time is irrelevant? But they're stuck in one place?
Who knows. But I for one would like to know more about it.
Thank you. I love this episode.
It felt so frustrated at the end of this episode. All I want is more. Why is it that the shows I love most have the shortest season? 23 episode of The Flash but GOT is like gone in the blink of an eye.
Great first episode. This feels much more like a Star Wars movie than the current trilogy.
Trek as it should be! Great final episode of a fantastic first season. Can't wait for the next season. Why were there only 10 episodes?!
So far so good - pretty fun show. Coach Lasso is such a positive character, the show put me in a good mood pretty easily. Love Jason Sudeikis of course
Edit after finishing the first season: Fantastic show all around, I looked forward to it every week. Coach Lasso dealing with his struggles as he brings together the team makes for an interesting and entertaining story
This episode gave me such happy teary moments about halfway through to the end. The actual sweetness of this show (w/o being schmaltzy) is so tremendous. I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for it to continue in January but I so don't want it to be over.
Holden: Guys! Guys!!!
Fred Johnson: What did you do?
Holden: There was a button. I pushed it.
Fred: Jesus Christ. That's really how you go through life, isn't it.
This is a horror movie.
Wish I could rate this an 11. I need to go back and rate every other episode of other shows down one.
HANDS DOWN TO THE SASSIER TRIO ON TELEVISION: CAPTAIN COLD, HEATWAVE AND WHITE CANARY.
One of the greatest Game of Thrones episodes EVER, from the start to the finish. May this season be the best one so far!
Gonna give this a shot over the weekend. Heard so much about it.
Malcolm: And no offense none of you are particularly good actors.
Tell me that was not funny :-P
Honestly this might be my favourite episode so far, although I have pretty much been feeling that way for every new episode. What could have been a fairly clichéd and generic "alt universe/role reversal" story was elevated by the beautifully emotional conclusion to an ongoing plot thread. I was expecting to laugh going in, but I certainly did not think I would end the episode in tears.
This episode was a masterpiece. I love how the machine runs simulations. I love Finch's lesson about "anyone who treats life like a game of chess deserves to lose". I loved the simplified dialogue. I love both kisses. Fusko/Root for whimsy, and Shaw/Root because finally.
But I don't want to see Shaw go. She feels integral to everything. Apparently the actress Sarah Shahi is pregnant so this is the way they deal with that, but that means she is going to be jobless in a year or two, and we never saw the dead body. No body, no death. She got shot a lot but we have seen everyone else come back from worse. It took a grenade in the face to kill Reese in the simulation. So she'll be back. Calling it now.
It was so emotional at the end that I cried, even though the wigs were hideous
I am so excited for season 6 that I have already forgotten my hate for O, Clarke & Abbie xD
Loving this 70s period-scifi piece so far. Nice space missions, human drama, very 70s. Everyone smokes all the time, everyone drinks all the time. My kind of fun.
I don't do drugs, but after watching this episode, I'm not so sure anymore.
Absolutely great episode, action, confrontation, background politics and the ongoing "runtime error", all at just the right composition.
I liked how they addressed the subplot of M'Benga's daughter versus miraculously finding a cure for her and it was clearly a chance for the actors to show some different, sillier sides to themselves. Hard disagree with the low-rated comments -- this episode clearly embodied the spirit of TOS.
Am I the only one who thought they were gonna make Loki fall in love with himself or in this case herself? I mean that's one way of showing his narcissistic personality.
I'm running out of superlatives for this show. I continue to marvel at the historical accuracy of the events. I was waiting to see if they would recreate one of the most amazing facts about the accident...the clearing of the roof by the "biorobots". 90 seconds. 90 seconds on the roof to receive a lifetime dose of radiation. And going out on that roof wasn't voluntary. Nice government. Also, the scenes of young Pavel being forced to liquidate starving, deserted family pets was one of the saddest things I've ever watched.
The opening scene features an old woman milking a cow while being told by a soldier to leave her farm for her own safety. She tells him she's not leaving and recalls the history of her life under the iron boot of the communist system. The mention of the horrific Holodomor was shocking to me. It seems that kind of reflection on past evils (other than Hitler's Nazis) is never mentioned.
This series has pulled absolutely no punches showing the oppression and brutality of the Soviet government. I hope that support for such a system, no matter how well intended, never sees the light of day again.

Contrary to some of the other comments on this episode and series in general - by all means bring on season 2 and beyond. This is what Star Trek was and is supposed to be!
The "problem of the week" storytelling is what made TOS and TNG what they were, and I'm glad they stuck to it with this series. Discovery and Picard aside, I'm excited for where we go from here.
This show had no absolutely no right being as good as it was. What a fantastic surprise this has been.
Worth checking out if you liked shows like Pushing Daisies or Dead Like Me. Kristen Bell is great in this too. So good at playing a bitch lol. Yet she's a likeable one.
Seeing Jon and Sansa reuniting was so satisfying ^_^ Sansa has matured a lot. Brienne actually made it in time for once xD
Loved the ending. Danny with her usual coming out of the fire naked, looking badass xD
Chaotic bisexual "twins" from different universes is exactly the kind of time shenanigans I never knew I needed in my life.
