Star Trek Discovery

[FORD]

Nope. Now happy gay Broadway actors can be used apparently...

Happy gay actors have always been part of Star Trek....

[twonabomber]

And he does Broadway now, too!

But whether scrapped or not, it does seem rather out of place and weird since there is no mention of it in the original series being prequeled. I do recall something about Starfleet not being allowed to use cloaking technology because of a severe treaty over-site or something, but that doesn't explain the hop thing, I think it was on The Next Generation but it made no sense...

What was that deal with the reflection in the mirror near the end though?

It's spawned theories among the Trekkies

It wasn't necessary a mirror image thing. Remember Stamets injected himself with the Ripper DNA, and since Ripper is a huge overgrown bacteria, which reproduces by splitting in two and cloning itself, maybe the DNA caused Stamets to clone himself.

I think this new beardy guy Tyler is a Klingon spy.

Their escape last week was too easy, how did he survive so long 7 months as a prisoner and then the mention of the background check in episode 6 to put us at ease/hint.

In other news watch out for Michael's completely ridiculous running action. Who the fuck runs like that?

[Nickdfresh]

Looking forward to seeing more of Mudd....

[Seshmeister]

According to IMDB he is in a few episodes although I'm not sure how reliable it is and probably best not to look at the cast list appearances on there as it could be spoilery.

Talking of which look away now for some fan theory.


I never realized that the captain of the ship that they escaped from last week was the same Klingon L'Rell who was hanging about with Voq the albino Klingon who lost his ship and so on in the week before.

i.e. these 2.




There is so much prosthesis on these new Klingons they all look the same to me.

So people are putting the Klingon spy theory together with Ash screwing her for months plus the fact on the ship later he is a messy eater for an Ash Tyler = Voq theory.

This is getting more convincing when you look up the actor playing Voq and he doesn't seem to exist outside the show.

If this is the case then I wish TV shows would be a little bit more thorough with their plot twists same thing happened with Westworld with the internet guessing the big reveals weeks ahead.

That was quite a party they had, you wouldn't get that in TNG.

[vandeleur]

I can see why they did it from behind

Hey hey a time loop episode

I actually quite enjoyed the episode.....
And, I have to say I love the sets themselves, and the effects, impressive, I hear it takes them months to film one episode.....
