Discovery S3 E5 (spoilers)
Just watched it, Didn't make notes as we go so here is some retrospective thoughts:
-My pettiest of gripes: The Voyager-J, Adding a letter to any ship registry other than Enterprise (and even then) seem fanwanky/fanficcy to me, especially when they get that high.
-the concept of a ship that just forcefields as well is awful in practical terms. What do you do in a power cut?
-We didn't get a really good look at the future-ships either. :(
-Now is it just me or is there a distinct ds9-bajoran influence of the 30th Century Starfleet uniforms?
the modern starfleet seems almost entirely made up of humans and human looking holograms which is sad.
I think the show is having really trouble balancing episode of the week plots and the on-going story. there's a lot of potential in the seed ship plotline but it given short thrift with all the other stuff that's going on.
-Jett Reno's interrogation sequence was funny.
-As was Nhan's but her characterization just sort of went nowhere just petered out a bit.
-That Georgiou's interrogator knew so much about the terrans is interesting.
-I don't know what to make of this season really.
