One day, I'd really like to get an oral history of the making of this show, particularly those tumultuous first two seasons...

My expectations for this one were low based on the preview, but I enjoyed this one more than I thought I might. A very "traditional" Star Trek plot in many ways.

Watching the Culber/Stamets interactions, I wonder if they're going to address the "awakening" that Stamets had following his genetic modification. That's something that's been mentioned a bunch of times (as recently as two episodes ago), but I don't remember them ever digging really deep into it. It seems like there are some parallels there that could be explored.

I think they use that name for the AR wall facility - they stuck a sign on the door and everything.

The episode was dedicated to Allan “Red” Marceta, a set dresser who passed away in 2022.

I wonder if the bar is named after him, too.

I'm torn. On the one hand, I agree...but it's also the kind of approach that's driven us into a nightmare of crumbling infrastructure.

I definitely wouldn't hold my breath on an expansion not becoming necessary, even though I wouldn't call it a major bridge.

Well...

I call this one "Gene's Vision".

They got my many, many letters!

Any time the Tzenkethi aren't on screen, the characters should be saying, "where are the Tzenkethi?"

Note: The Tzenkethi will never be on screen.

It's kind of funny that this big reveal happened while Discovery is sitting in the territory of another famously mysterious species, the Tzenkethi.

Understandable, but this is better than your average screenrant content.

It was a pretty big red flag when they announced that every episode this season would be 1701 minutes long...
