[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7240906, member: 22779"] I'm not entirely sure I liked the 3rd ep. Some good, bad and very bad. The Good: Yup, I agree with [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION], this show is freaking GORGEOUS. And, it's probably the hardest SF version of Trek to date. I kinda like that they're giving it a more hard SF look. Yup, the sets are too damn dark. Grr. Hopefully that will shift later on. Michael is a badass. I do love the scene where she kicks the crap out of the convicts. Although, that being said, she's appearing to be a LOT more emotional and a lot less Vulcan in this episode. Guess it makes sense. Just a big shift in how I saw the character. The interplay between Saru and Michael. That's a great dynamic. You can tell Saru truly respects Michael but, also doesn't trust her and blames her for the death of the Captain. I realy look forward to seeing how this plays out. "Did he just shush us?" is probably the best line I've heard in a long, long time. The Bad: Ok, why did we have the prison transport scene? Three throwaway characters for Michael to put the slippers to? Curly Haired Barklay - come on. Massive allergies and some pretty serious personal issues gets to be a Star Fleet officer? Gimme a break. Think about it - why wouldn't that have been something during her initial training and medical workup? Seriously, do we really need awkward socially inept geek character? Ah well, at least they didn't make her a kid. The Ugly: The captain is a bad guy? Really? We're going to go there? And, exactly why did they blow up an entire star ship? Umm, that's a pretty expensive piece of equipment there and you folks just turned it into ash because ... reasons? How about funerals for the crew? Next of kin? And, why the hell does the captain have a Predator esque trophy room of alien bits? ----- Although, if you think about it, this could tie into the new Trek movies. How did Khan transport from planet to planet? Well, maybe this will explain that. And possibly explain why we don't do it. Of course, the whole accident thing turning you inside out might be a clue.
