Dude! How big is Sarek's house? That stairway is weird. Looks like at an industrial complex.
The way young Spock is ducking when Sarek calls him... 🥺 It does not seem that he's too happy, poor boy.
"Damn, she's a beauty." (She is.)
Saru's sniffing! LOL
Tilly!! 😭
Great scene on the bridge where they work together to find a solution.
OMG! 🪩 Disco EV suits! 🪩 I hope they filmed some disco dance video in these things. Is something like that on the DVDs? Please! I want the red one for cosplay. Or dance nights. Or both.
uh-oh… Connolly, you're dead. Listen to Michael! … Told you so.
Reno!!
I think people don't have a problem with others intruding their private space because they know that no-one would do anything weird or bad. That's why quarters are unlocked and personal logs are so easily available for anyone to read/ listen to. It's also a handy story device.
Tilly is the absolute highlight of this episode.
So many great visuals, like when we fly alongside the Disco towards the Enterprise and see the corridor, or the asteroid field. 😍
Pike's hair is far from as great as in SNW. Very far. And I'm not even obsessed about his hair. Like at all. But somehow I like his looks better in SNW. Is it his hair?
😱 Tilly! Omg!
Things are getting into motion.
Owosekun was part of the landing party because she grew up in a Luddite community. Did she get anything to do though except for opening the locked door? Is using a magnet knowledge only Luddites have? 🤔
I loved that Pike went back to Jacob. I loved that that's all he wanted, he just wanted confirmation.
However, I am not happy with Pike's argument. Why does that colony fall under General Order 1? They have been taken away from Earth without their consent and kept in the dark about everything, including the fact that Earth still exists. They should have been informed about the truth. Their ancestors got taken from the 21st century, I imagine they can handle the truth.
Yeah, I still don't know about L'Rell. Yes, "mother" is a fiercer title than "chancellor". But I still don't like her and that speech did nothing for me.
"The freaks are more fun." (I think so, too, Philippa.)
I like May. Can't wait to find out what she really wants.
No, the beard is not working. (I sound as if I didn't like beards. I do like beards quite a bit, I swear! 😅)
Ooh, Culber and Ash fighting. I really like the Culber story. I like how Stamets desperately tries to make everything as it was before, and how Culber doesn't even know who he is and needs to arrive in his body and his life again first.
Saru, you are an absolute gem!
Spock 😭
The actors playing young Michael and Spock are wonderful.
I love how Leland is constantly getting his ass kicked from all directions.
Dr. B. reminds me of old Amy in that one Doctor Who episode. 😢
"Time is the fire in which we burn." comes to mind.
Aaaash! 😱
Yes, Georgiou, show him! 💪
"What we do now, here in this moment, has the power to determine the future."
I like that even though the Red Angel is all about Michael, it is not because she's the most important being in the universe. It is simply because her mother has been trying to get back to her.
Maybe Calypso is one of many potential future outcomes of the current events. One that we will not actually follow to see because the events do turn out differently for Discovery. Which will have Calypso play in an alternate timeline.
Nice to see a docking scene. I really love those, in all the shows and films whenever they show them. They have something mundane and grounding about them.
No holographic communication is absolutely for the best. 🤣 Ask the DS9 people.
So, touching a time crystal locks in the future events the person touching it sees. Burnham touches the crystal and sees events. They should happen now. No matter what they try to prevent that. Even fleeing into the future should not prevent that. But, spoiler alert, what she sees will not happen. I don't like things like that. Don't make a big deal out of that fact one episode and then turn it on its head the next. 😒
I like snarky and funny Georgiou.
short glimpse of Ash ❤️
Stamets and Culber 😭
Is Sarek fighting to keep his composure? 😭
Ash and Michael 😭😭😭
Lovely to see some of the bridge crew record their good bye messages.
I really really am no fan of all those speeches.
But oh my god the bit between Pike and Spock is great. "There are no words."
All the bridge crew standing in parade rest for Pike was nice and better than any speech.
Saru's warning about Leland being no human being was really powerful.
I am so glad they brought Reno into the future. She's gold.
I want more Dr Pollard!
All the shuttles escorting and protecting Michael is beautiful. 😭
Ash to the rescue! ❤️
Georgiou and Nhan opening the door, Number One and Cornwell working on another door and the torpedo, L'Rell and Siranna leading their fleets, Michael leading the way into the future — so many women being absolutely vital to this mission's success. Not to forget earlier contributions by Reno, Tilly, Po, Dr Pollard and her team, and others. That is amazing!! I am usually not very nitpicky about that; I love men and I love seeing them do their thing. Please, more amazing men in my tv! But this is very very special. 💪
So now the time crystals only show a possible future? Lame. 😒
Clip show? Really?
The fight in the hallway between Leland, Georgiou, and Nhan looked so amazing! Did they have a rotating set?
Ok, ok, that was a great L'Rell scene on her ship. I wished she was like that from the beginning.
People complain that there's a lot of crying in Discovery. People cry in that show, yes. Who ever cries in other Trek shows? Not a lot of people. And that is the actual problem.
People cry. All the time. I cry. And you cry probably too. Not showing it on tv is hiding a very normal and healthy reaction of the human body.
I don't think there's a lot of crying on Discovery and certainly not in uncalled for situations. These people go through a lot and why shouldn't they cry? It shows that they are living, caring, feeling beings.
Also, Michael is not the only one crying, though she gets accused the most. Ash is crying a lot too and I am here for it! Let men cry on tv! Let them cry when they hurt. Not just physically but emotionally, like Ash. Or Culber and Stamets.
Plan for my next re-watch: keep a tally on crying. I bet the numbers will be way smaller than people want to make us believe.
Season 2 was a bit convoluted at times. E. g. I could not explain the signals to anyone, or when the Angel is Dr. B. and when it is Michael. Throwing in Control just adds to the complexity. How did Control turn sentient anyway? (No need to explain it to me though, thanks.)
But I think they came out of the behind the scenes shenanigans quite ok and taking the Disco into the far future was certainly the right decision.
This show continues to be one where the characters are discovering themselves more and more. They are becoming themselves, they are not yet there. This series is a journey.
Some people say there isn't any chemistry between Michael and Ash. I think we're watching different shows. I love them together.
I said it in another post, but I want to repeat it here: re-watching Disco is giving me a new and deeper appreciation for this show. It is so good. Of course not everything is perfect, or working, but what ever is?
