Looks pretty Trekkie!
I think they misspelled “Whisperspeak.”
This kind of drive by stuff is trolling.
“Captain Burnham is forced to consider breaking the Prime Directive when a local tradition threatens Tilly’s life.” Sounds like the TNG episode “Justice” from season 1…
Sure, but at least it looks less stupid than Justice.
Tilly probably hits a ball into the one tiny forbidden area on the planet and breaks the glass, thus getting the death penalty. It happens more often than you would think.
Yah, that’s what I thought too.
I’ll settle for a recycled idea exectuted well… but to be honest, my preliminary interest into this one is low.
Holy Wesley Crusher batman. Now I know they’ve gone full canon connections.
Rayner is a great character.
It’s a shame we only get one season with him.
Callum Keith Rennie does a good job.
I’ve liked him in his other roles.
Well, we are in the final half of the season.
I’m hoping they finish off strong.
I have mixed feelings about DSC ending.
I feel bad for all the fans who claim this is THEIR Star Trek.
It’s always possible that he moves over to the Academy show.
Agreed on all counts, despite Prodigy being my #1 current Star Trek show.
He instantly makes any role he’s doing better by default. One of my favorites was Californication. He was great in that.
“Best show ever.”

Hopefully this is another good filler episode, like ep 5×4. When DIS isn’t all phasers blazing or overly melodramatic, it is much better. Plus, more Rayner please.
discovery is always overly melodramatic, always!
On a scale of overly melodramaticnes from 0 to 10 Discovery has its own scale that is in its entirety contained in the 10 of the normal scale.
There’s no such thing as filler episodes in Discovery. They’re all ‘high impact.’
Bohemian clothes and slightly different foreheads… ironically, very TOS :-)
