Bashir, upon Odo saying he wiretaps @quark: "Is that legal?"
Odo: "Doctor, do you want to know what Quark knows or not?"
Bashir: "I see your point."

This is the conversation that convinced Sloan that he could recruit Bashir into Section 31, 100%. What a gutless, weak-willed, weak-minded, witless response from Bashir. Have you no principles, man?

I mean, she's having a rough time right? I didn't believe that drilling the device into her head thing, then mentioned to somone else and they're like, Hu-mahns don't have pain receptors in brain, so that's not so unrealistic. Weird. Species.

I assume she's no in the mushroomverse and they'll have to track her down?

I loved al the Babelling languages part, neat idea they should play with more.

Also, pulling out the holocommunication on Enterprise, great little point.

Great River of Profit that was a lot of stuff packed into one episode!
I'm not complaining, but wow.
I could have done with a little less on the sentimental supportiveness parts, I love that but it went on a bit. Especially when I couldn't really believe that Saru would die, it was all too quick and clearly wasn't going to happen. But as a plot point for moving his character forward out of fear, it's great.

What else.. Tilly!...

... Emperor Georgio is back as a full fledged Section 31 operative and utters my favourite quote of the season so far when Ash asks how her Emperessness feels about hanging out with plebes in some hidden organization in another universe.

Her answer (I think, I hope) : "Freaks are more fun."

Hey another episode, I can almost rejoin society again. Remember people, and non people, CW is your friend, spoilers!

What happened? Tilley's friend turned out to be a ghost. Great! But of course, she's not a ghost she's an alien. Interesting though, she's some kind of mushroom alien and she thinks Stamets is the captain, I love that bit.

Star Trek Discovery's greatest failing is that by this point in season 2, there should have been no fewer than 5 minor characters played by Jeffrey Combs

another consistent issue is the lighting. you can have a scene be dark while still having the lighting be dynamic.
but enterprise just has tons of scenes that are dark, not in an interesting way, but just dark and flat and dull
i have no what their budget was but could they really not afford professional lighting people? it makes a big difference in the look of a show.

Okay, got those rewrites done and sent off and so I am ready to pick apart the worst trek show ever once again. Let's do this!

Couple things right off. First, this is a Good Episode because it has Jeffrey Combs. 👍
And second, why the fuck does the captioning call him 'alien'? Shran has already been a recurring character for a while at his point. wtf.

...
Also, finally some background and lines for the other bridge crew with Owo growing up in a ... luddite colony? Huh? Where? Can Airam and Detmer be far around the corner?

And some really nice leadership modelling here with Pike and Saru showing trust in their people and leading by example but also being able to learn from them.

Finally, the red signal might be beacon for help...is this going Quantum Leap across Space? Too bad Captain Archer is missing it ;)

Episode 2? Yes, I *just* got to see it. I'm kind of in read-only mode until I catch up.

I was on Risa, if you can believe it, for the past two weeks. Had a barkeep convention there and we decided to stay an extra week, catching up on the accounts, but on the beach, not bad.

As usual, I loved the episode. Some new character depth for Tilly and Stamets, and some foreshadowing for how we might be Culber back I suppose.

Also, finally some background and lines for ..

Did you know! I once released a 13-minute-long EP that's me doing noise work with synths and such over my friends playing Mario Kart? It's quite different than a lot of the projects I talk about here so you might not. Here's the link for the curious!

The best Star Trek video game was by far Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity.
