Starchild

Guys that was beautiful. I literally cried. I want John to find Naomi and for them to be the center of the show. Morgan can stay too.

Hickey threatened to torture/kill Hodgson if Goodsir didn't butcher Gibson.

So I don't think the first party cannibalized each other, they were only 18 miles away from the ships. Whatever happened, they were dead within a day or two of leaving.

This is a very good show but I'm kind of disappointed it wasn't the show I thought it would be when I first saw the trailers. I was convinced it would turn out that they got stuck in the ice and then were come upon by Frankenstein's monster, still up in the Arctic after all those years.

Wasn't that Rhea Seehorn playing the animal rescue tech?

Actually, wasn't old-school TV episodic? All questions answered by the end of the hour? At least until "Hill Street Blues" (RIP Steven Bochco)

Didn't they all go to Hilltop?

So is Jadis going to go off and found another (comic) group?

Right? If the grafted consciousness is the stronger one, why not just graft Voq into Ash and be done with it? Way too convoluted the way they did it.

All that buildup to Eugene's master plan, and his talk about his machines, I thought we'd find out he had this awesome Rube Goldberg thing happening to get them out of the Sanctuary. But it was just strategic shooting? They needed Eugenius for that?

Or pretended he was, anyway.

So that song at the beginning, was that Chandler singing?

Guys I still don't understand what happened to Ash/Voq. Help me out? The way Ash described the process, the Klingon body was transformed into a copy of the human body, and the human mind was grafted onto the Klingon one. Meaning the real Ash is probably dead, or anyway Ash's real body would have been disposed of after his consciousness was ripped out or copied. And then afterwards, on the Discovery, to save Voq's sanity, L'Rell did something that actually caused Voq's consciousness to be forever lost, leaving Ash's consciousness in a Klingon body mutilated to look like his own. Is that right?

It's interesting that the recapper thinks Cody Fern looks like a combination of Dax Shepard and Andrew McCarthy. I was thinking he looked like a young Michael McKean. Even sounded like him a bit in that last diner scene.

That 3-day stubble look doesn't work for everyone.

Who wrote that crap?

If I had to let someone I loved wander off as a zombie, I would feel guilty about them walking around like that for the rest of my life. Poor Aaron.

Is this the first season with no supernatural elements? I can't recall if Freak Show did. (I'm counting the aliens of Asylum as supernatural for now.)

It seems unlikely that the Mirror Universe was triggered only 10 years before we saw it in TOS. Could the Federation have truly have become that different in only a decade?

I agree that many of these stories have followed that somewhat frustrating post-modern trend of letting the viewer decide the ending for themselves. That's fine once in a while, but it can be overused. For that reason I have considered dropping the show. But I found this one very moving, so I'll probably keep an eye open for season 2. I don't think they committed suicide. I think she simply died of natural causes, and this being their 56th anniversary and an evening they had been looking forward to for a long time, he decided to spend this last night with her. When the delivery guy knocked on the door he just ignored it. To answer would have been to go back into the world before he was ready to leave her behind. But of course, in the absence of actually seeing it, that's just my opinion.

Just watched the first two eps of The Orville this afternoon, and these two tonight. Orville was so juvenile, I did not expect DSC to come off worse. But here we are.

That lead Klingon reminded me of the face of Bo.

I expected the food switch almost immediately after the plate was set down, so I watched closely. Ivy followed Ally all the way through the restaurant so she didn't have the opportunity to switch it. Although she could have an accomplice. I am not a big fan of gaslighting stories. They tend to drag on and on.

So, any news on Season 4? After this, there has to be a Season 4, right? Right?

Maybe because there was no music on the soundtrack?
