New Tilly, she's in this, so they'll have classes like


How to call a staff meeting while your under attack to tell everyone that you love them and they're awesome


Or how to turn over your command at the first opportunity.


Or how a diminishing oxygen supply should interfere with talking about your feelings.

Yea, that doesn't look great. I love Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti though, so I'll probably give it a chance and watch the first couple of episodes at least.

I dont always understand the love for Holly Hunter though, she talks like she's got marbles in her mouth. If she could enunciate like a human being she'd be a great actor.

I'm a big fan of Giamatti as well, and I'm going to give it a shot but...early impressions are not good.

Why did they launch it hundreds of years in the future and tie it to Disco? Why?

Why not a couple years Post-Picard? You know...the era of Star Trek that most people really like??

Completely agree. Picard S3 finished off at what would have been a cool jumping off point for a new series. No idea why they would want to tie this into Discovery, which will easily go down as the worst show in the history of the franchise.


A series based around Captain Seven of Nine and the newly christened Enterprise-G would have been fun.

Not to mention...I have no goddamned idea what happened in STD. None. Do I need to know for this show to make sense? Cuz thats not gonna go well.

Why does the STD-Verse even need a Starfleet Academy? The answer to every problem is "feelings and Michael Burnham."

Space zombies was fun, I hated Una's hair.

What I enjoyed most was Una politely reprimanding Ortagas. It signals that they won't likely drag out this PTSD plot.

Space Zombies was fun! I dont care about hair, but Una reprimanding Ortegas, IMO, was perfect.

Yes, she did something wrong, intentionally, but this is Starfleet. It worked out, this time, but never, ever do it again. Well handled by two exceptional officers.

Thats Star Trek.

That hair was bizarre, I thought it was a dig at Shatner's toupe.


Una cut Ortega a major break. What Ortega did would get an officer tossed out of Star Fleet no matter who good of a pilot she was.

Also...War Hero.

But it cant be that strict or no one would sign up for dangerous missions and no pay or benefits.

Unless the Dental was exceptional.

I have no problems with the way it worked itself out.
