Gonna miss Tilly and Jett.
I bet that it ends with the former foes joining forces to battle a stronger enemy — the Breen.
I’m loving Reno’s little lab setup there and I’m liking that vest on Doctor Culber.
Nhan and Reno! Excellent. I’m glad the writers finally remembered there are characters besides Burnham and Book.
;)
Oh yeah the Breen is involved and Nhan is back!!! I can’t wait now!
Enjoyed the last episode, but I feel Discovery was catching its breath and now we’re gonna GO! Really looking forward to this one.
Although the last few episodes haven’t really excited me I did listen to TM last podcast and Anthony sounded very excited about this one and said big things happens in it so really looking forward to it now!
Can’t wait to see the Breen in action as well!
Definitely need more Jett Reno before the season’s done.
YES!! Tig is so cool and her character is a winner every time she’s on screen.
Cool. Another Bottle-Show.
Reno heavy episode? Can’t wait
It’s interesting what Kurtzman said about Michelle Paradis being the showrunner. He mentioned how meticulous she is. It shows, and it hurts this season. She delegated all sorts of individual tasks to the writers. One writes one scene, and somebody else writes another one. It’s why some of the eps feel so disjointed.
If I had to guess, her skill at being meticulous was to produce the episodes within or below the budget.
Some of the things Kurtzman talked about regarding Trek’s need to be authentic. Firstly, I’m a fan of DSC. Authenticity has been S5s biggest problem.
There is too much focus on Moll and Laak and not enough on the DSC crew.
Do you have specific quotes from people to back this up? If not, that is a lot of supposition about how she works and the writer’s room operates.
I have to agree there and I think Paradise generally sicks as a showrunner.
I don’t disagree with some of his overall points about the season itself but we have no idea how the season was written out.
