I dont get the bad press arch got. I use arch (btw) and can’t remember last time it wont boot after an update. It maybe happened to me twice in 20 years and at least once was my fault and the other was because i didn’t read the pacman post warning me

Well maybe that is more for us watching the show and hoping that somehow Pike will not die. It’s selling us the idea that he has to die for a higher good to happen. Here is the same, the Federation has to break a lot of his own rules in order to not cause trillions, all the humans to die.

this threads usually are spoilers ok, you don’t need to tag them (that should be in the Original Post)

Edit: Also I think Pike’s fate is sealed I think it was the intention since the beggining

A good start for the season, a serious sci-fi episode. We need more of these and less of the silly ones, I can take a funny episode now and then not all the time like on S3. I think they need to explore more about the characters relationship on the episodes, the only real interactions are the ones between Scotty and Ortega on this one.

I had some T’Lyn vibes with the new vulcan girl at the begging of the episode, not much at the end.

Yes! Log it… Strongly!

I tried some time ago ST Prodigy and found too silly, I heard some encouraging comments about it and Im giving it another try. 6 episodes in Im enjoying it more than the last attempt.

I enjoyed the season more than I anticipated.

I have a small problem with the fleet warping instantly at the end, warp speed 900 I guess, but still a good dramatic effect

A low point episode for me, the wedding could have been much better just adding a nemesis character to Daren that is hovering over her fiancee to grab the throne, some dark guy with evil intentions. As for the Genesis/Caleb plot I only enjoyed that he knew all the time she was playing him, I would have enjoyed much more if he will have resolved the issue, and don’t have to tell the Chanciller about it.

Not very interesting episode, the main problem is that Darem has changed because a lot of time has passed between episodes, and I don’t have a sense of that (there is a line when they said how long Tarima has gone for the recovery) , he has evolved from the character he was on the first episode, but we don’t realize it

I think spoiler is ok in these threads, but in any case it should be stated on the OP message to avoid confusion

I was thinking about the promotional picture for the show with all the people smiling. That was a scam to make us think that it was gonna be a cozy show, and they strike with characters death and betrayals left and right. They played us like a violin

wew! I though I was the only one… and the music at the end…

I read “a major shit”

I love ST, but I don’t love all ST, I try to watch everything and something I’m not enjoying I just stop watching it, for example TOS or Discovery from S2-3 (can’t recall), I don’t like I stop but I least I give a try, I don’t judge the series just watching trailers or reading posts about how awful is something until I have watched it (this goes for all the hate to Academy pre-airing)

If someone asks me, yes, I’m a ST fan, I love it, but I’m not a fanboy, I don’t like everything from ST, I like to say when I don’t like something (like Section 31 movie, is so bad I don’t even consider it ST).

And yes, you are a fan, you’ve watched some of the core of ST and ejoyed it, and you are looking forward to watch more :)

I’m enjoying the show so far, my only gripe is that there is too much lens flare.

If sales are going down, prices of the motherboards are going up.

That’s an optimistic timeframe if you want to use kde and firefox.

Seen it recently myself, about a couple years ago, never watched before, and it’s ok. I enjoyed it.

Don’t read too much into the comments, just watch it, of you don’t like it stop watching it.

For me it’s worthy, i have warched at this moment all ST except TOS, I tried it and I can’t.

Didn’t liked much the episode, best parts the Kirk-Spock interactions, and Im not a TOS guy.

The Pike finale with Batel was bad, also it was annunciated before, so no surprise when it happens which does it worst.

Worst SNW season so far. Not terribly bad, ,but definitely not good

You and I had a mind meld, because I was thinking exactly that

Not a big fan of this episode, I feel that you don’t have the time to develop a friendship between two enemy sworn races, you shouldn’t try to do it.

If you are into Metrons and super powerful entities, just go all the way in, and make time go slower, like the Picard-Flute episode, you can’t have two women playing Heroscape and Chess in two days and being friends forever. Too close to Enemy of Mine, a movie I love, and this fell a bit short.
