    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Captain Pike mentions to Leland about being up to his neck in crocs, it could be a reference to Arena (1967) when Captain Kirk battles a Gorn which was a crocodile like alien race.

      During Tillys "Thanks for that" line it is clear the shot has been flipped the star fleet insignia/division badge is located on the right side of the uniform when it is more commonly located on the left side of the chest.
    • Quotes

      Philippa Georgiou: I've been authorized to hunt down a Starfleet officer wanted for murder. Excuse me, multiple murders. By the time I caught up to his craft, it was adrift and he was gone. Any idea where he might be?

      Michael Burnham: If I hear anything, you'll be the first to know.

      Philippa Georgiou: Will I?

      Captain Christopher Pike: Commander Burnham has a hard time believing those charges. So do I.

      Philippa Georgiou: The innocent don't run.

      Michael Burnham: You ran from us.

      Philippa Georgiou: Exactly.

    Yet another misfire as far as I'm concerned
    I understand that some people are enjoying this show and I respect that. All I can say is that after 29 episodes I'm officially done. I honestly just don't enjoy it. I don't understand it, I don't care about or like most characters and I've just given up. I say this with a heavy heart as I wanted to like Discovery but there just comes a point where you give up. I say this as a lifelong fan of Star Trek too!

    This episode just left me stone cold. I found myself actually hoping that characters would die so we wouldn't have to watch them. The "science"is absurd. They are hoping if they talk enough nonsense quickly enough we will just overlook the fact that it's so utterly contrived.

    If this is what is popular nowadays I wish the creators and fans best of luck. I'm out
