[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7240405, member: 12731"] Okay, so with ep 3 things are getting a bit more clear. Random observations: SPOILERS * Last ep ended on the promise of showing the "seedy underbelly" of the Federation. A prison mine? How will she escape? Will she meet someone she'll bring with her... ...and then it took a whole ten seconds to do away with all that promise... 😛 Of course I realize she would reach the Discovery this ep, but I did hope "let it not be she's personally picked by the captain, let it not be she's personally picked by the captain"... and then they went all she's personally picked by the captain... * the captain might have made his "not evil" speech at the end... but he's evil, alright... * isn't this story overdone? I must say the "we're at war, let's make moral compromise" is "edgy Trek", and I wonder if MacFarlane isn't onto something - that what we want is classic idealistic optimistic Trek... * not sure I like distrust between crew members. Sure it's realistic, but that doesn't mean I like it. Cast intros were either hostile or stupidly naive. That makes a good first impression much harder. * the male friendship / partners were incredibly weak-sauce. We got two seconds of fuzzy avatar head and then the meatblender to help us feel the tech officer's loss... * please don't say they're aware we want brightly lit sets, and went ahead and made up a story reason why they won't give it to us? * is it just me or is it blindingly obvious that the super-weapon won't work and can't be allowed to work? Why not ditch that stupid story and focus on something they might actually pull off. Isn't Trek about us sharing into the hopefulness of the crew? In summary: good sci-fi action but not necessarily a better Trek experience than the maligned movies... ...in stark contrast to that other show, which gets a decidedly better audience approval rate. Go figure. Sent from my C6603 using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
