This season's first two episodes were enjoyable enough but this one was pretty boring. A lot of the show's issues are evident here.
The plot holes, for example. Bookham conjured their phasers and didn't really use them and yet the creatures knew they were dangerous? And those creatures were dreadful.
And the relationship stories. We've been expected to care about Burnham and Book's relationship and Grey and Adira's relationship without really showing us why. So it's hard to feel anything there.
I'm so struck by the incredible amount of insubordination being shown in this episode. The new Number 1 (who is 100% unlikeable) is insubordinate to Burnham and Tilly is insubordinate to him in return. Picard would've never stood for any of this lol
Pretty tough watch. Everything that happened felt so forced and unimportant. Having what is basically a filler episode in the final season is wild.
Yes yes, it's Interstellar but from Netflix...
But honestly I kinda liked it? A retro-futuristic Czech spaceflight with Adam Sandler delivering a decent acting job that got me more intersted in the book it's based on - which apparently has a very different ending too? That might be worth a shot!
Hanuš is wonderful tho!
Oh man, this messed me up on another level. Such a beautiful comfort movie. Everything about this is comfortable, even the scary things. So creepy yet so cute, so strange yet so wise. The writing was so well done as was the execution. Every time I thought 'it's falling flat', I was proved wrong. It made it more cosy in a way. That as well as the score, all the sounds, all the acting, all the animations and cgis, all the everything. Ugh, I can't get over the wisdom and mystery behind this. Netflix has more misses than hits, but the hits really do hit. It's like an original copy of Interstellar. Life and mind altering type movie. Best Netflix movie of the year.
What's wrong with all the haters here?
I usually dislike musical episodes, but the investment in this episode giving us a glimpse into the crew emotions. I mean, even the theme song was sung!
I still say, best star trek ever. Loving it!
This episode will divide the fans, I'm on the side that loved it, it was great! So well done. That theme song!
I was very skeptical about a musical episode, but after the fantastic crossover I had my hopes up. And I wasn’t disappointed. It was not the best episode of this season but it was great. I don’t understand the bad ratings - maybe because they [spoiler]stayed in the musical and didn’t go space bunnies[/spolier]? I even started to feel like Jim(s actor) belongs. Unfortunately only one episode left :cry:.
Time will remember this episode considerably more fondly than the people who are disappointed about it on the day it comes out. Admittedly not everyone likes musicals, and that's fine, but it's a joy to watch Star Trek take exciting chances in storytelling. The episode also includes some valuable callbacks (Callforwards?) to TOS
Wow. I might be the only one that liked this... From last week's awesome animated crossover to this week's the point when Spock started singing. I just love how they are trying new things in Trek. Doesn't hurt that I love a good musical.
I’ve been going through some really hard times lately, and this episode is the first thing in weeks that made me genuinely laugh. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This was another, obviously, amazing episode. It’s like they can’t do anything wrong!
And I can’t believe that Gooding (Uhurua) is only 23. She is an amazing actor and act with such confidence and experience.
And that final scene and handshake had me giddy as a… Trekkie! :vulcan_salute:
This was a hilarious episode. Especially the scene where Una, La’an, Uhura and Ortegas taught Spock to speak like a Vulcan. :smile:
It also had a lot of emotions and the acting was as always top notch from this cast.
Sadly it’s only 5 episodes left of the season. :confused:
Ah yes! Loved this episode. Awesome acting from Ethan Peck. This season is so good.
What the f...?
I really loved that episode! Ethan Peck played that role fascinatingly good. What a blast this second season is.
"I would like the ship to go"
Glad to see one of my favourite series of last few years return with a season promising to be as good as the previous one.
Wait! What? This was just the first episode of the season?
With setting the bar this high I truly hope they manage to stay at this level.
With that said I really love this show and it’s characters and the acting is truly amazing.
Lovely homage to a true legend at the end.
Jack Black and Doc in the same episode? Sign me in :)
At this point I say cancel the show already. What a sad and miserable season that was.
Very enjoyable episode. Packs almost every essential ingredient that makes The Blacklist as good as it is...Almost.
