Quotes

Emperor Georgiou: What's wrong? Are you scared, Number One? Where I'm from, there's a saying: "Scared Kelpien makes for tough Kelpien." Have you gotten tough since we served together on the Shenzhou, Mr. Saru?
Saru: Affirmative, Captain. Very tough. So much so that many find me simply unpalatable.

User Reviews

Spell check darn it.

The ep was okay. Not really finale worthy. What does grate though is that apparently in the future there are no spell checkers.

At around minute 27 or so as the simulation runs and the words "End Simulation" are displayed reversed in the centre of screen, the word simulation is spelled with a second T. Simultation is not a word. Ugh.
