lightofdayeI need to find something else to post about, my blog is nothing but Disco atm...
So a random gripe: I dislike the entirely detached nacelle concept. It makes sense that Disco was heavily upgraded though. I wonder how quickly they are going to be trying to replicate spore drive. It would be an interesting scenario if the new Federation has working spore drives and then has no need for Disco. How popular they are at that point will be key.
The Admiral really just likes dissing everyone doesn't? It makes sense there being real consequences but I can't help but feel like Saru's gone with a half measure here. Michael basically has to decide whether she wants to be a Starfleet officer or not at this point. It's a little muddled because the show has always given the main characters extraordinary latitude to act despite what their position should be (see also Ensign Tilly) Oh another random gripe: Number One was a nickname/informal term to refere to the First Officer. First Officer or XO feels like the term they should be usuing in formal discussion with an admiral.
The main plot was good, and integrated better into the main plot than some other, I like it was a scam and then shooty-shooty plot. Rather than talk things out, the previous episode with that solution have been good and star trekky but there are scenarios where asskicking are necessary.
Intriqued and looking forward to knowing what the deal with Georgiou's sudden ptsd is all about, implanted by the interrogator last week perhaps?
