[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8635312, member: 6684958"] S1E2 Well, this was a nice character episode. Always nice to have a "get to know your main characters more" event. Did we miss a bit where the Enterprise Officially embarked on a Five Year Mission? Captain Pike is MUCH more casual with his crew then all other Starfleet Captains we have seen combined. It's a nice change. Uhura's parents died in a shuttle craft accident.....wonder why all Star Trek writers have such a hard time thinking of any accident other then that one? It just gets over used. So they beam over to the mysterious comet.....to find it has a prefect Earth like atmosphere. Ok, so the only reason it has air is they want you to see the actors faces....but then why even have space suits in the first place? But...er....why does the comet have Earth like air again? They kind of skip this. "Oh there is air, helmets off!" And if your going to say the comet did it to welcome them aboard......then why not turn off the radiation too.? And they bring along Cadet Uhura along as she is a linguist.....but she is also a Cadet. Was Sam Kirk also a linguist? It's a little odd to just toss a cadet into a possibly deadly situation with a "good luck, try not to die". There should have been a more senior communication officer along for the trip...you know like a mentor. Is this Kirks first away team mission? How does he know "don't just touch the big glowly thing"? And it sure is amazing that Cadet Uhura is also a music expert because, BY PURE CHANCE, the Mysterious Comet communicated by music. Of course, the sci fi problem here is music and sound is not quite a universal thing. First what your air is made of effects sounds, but the big one is the human ear. Not only does a human ear need Earth like air to work, but a human ear can only hear a set range of sounds. Simply put, alien music would not sound good to humans and a human would be unlikely to hear all of it anyway. Was this Number Ones day off or something? Don't first officers normally lead Away Teams? Spock has the problem highlighted a lot in this epsiode. Though it's a common Star Trek problem. So Spock is all alien and clueless of human social things. Worse, Spock is not the best commanding officer. Except Spock has been in Starfleet for a least ten or so years living and working with humans. A LOT of the "Spock does not know or understand humans" would have been gone over when he was a Cadet and Ensign. And then toss in Discovery that Spock has a human(step) mom and human sister. Plus he already did a five year mission with Pike. And did Spock have no command classes at Starfleet...you know where they teach people how to be in command? He has years of being in the command structure, he must have seen dozens of "peep talks" and other human social things. Logically Spock would not be so Clueless. So why were the Comet Shepherds SO far behind the comet. If the Mystery Comet had no shields then the Enterprise could have blown it up or moved it. But it takes them forever to come over and say "don't". And sure the "shepherd" ship is all powerful so they can't fight it.... Sigh Spock zooms through CGI Spam to save the day. Boring.
