Are they going to prequel to the first moon landing? Thought it was pretty interesting that Enterprise opening feature sailing ships when I first saw it. I was like WTF? Coming from TOS, I got used to always seeing the main ship/base.

It's been a road time. Gettin' from there to here.

Anyone else spot the tribble in EP3?

Lt. Saru is one of the best characters on the show.

LOL, threat tenticles!

I love how they referenced; wright brothers, elon musk, and tom cochran.

Also, tarigardes!

Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp travel, but yeah EleGiggle

Amazing series. Highly recommend even if you are not a hardcore Star Trek fan.

was yesterday's episode a first for swearing and a gay couple on star trek? i dont think ive seen it on any other series of star trek

Might as well start throwing out alien titties.

Not sure if those fbombs were required. I felt like it detracted from the show.

agreed..i was not definitely not expecting it..didnt fit to be honest in star trek

Star Trek is supposed to be about the pinnacle of human evolution where level headed thinking and reasoning prevails. Dropping that F bomb is just stupid.

It was definitely out of place......... now that fucking Harry Mudd. I can see him dropping one or two or a dozen. And, those two weren't gay.......... :troll:

Gaydars don't work in space. Sensors are down. Gulolol.

I don't see any issues with it. One of the main points of this series is to show that things ARENT so perfect as it has always been portrayed. Sure enough, people will still swear in the future.

I think they picked a time to use it when they thought it would be least offensive or vulgar (ie. pairing it with something positive "fucking cool") rather than what we're used to hearing (ie. fuck you you fucking piece of shit), which is why people find it "out of place".

This is very early though right? Basically humans have just overcome being shitty warmongers, discovering warp, and just starting to explore the galaxy. There seems to be some 'leftovers' in this series.

Also they have sworn in the movies, even Data which was a great gag EleGiggle

As for gay couples, they've had everything from gay to straight to everything in between, including Riker falling in love with an asexual being (which was an allegory for a gay human in an amazing episode)

That one seemed to have the right context.
It makes sense that it's early and that it was a positive fbomb. Wasn't expecting it still. Especially out of the socially awkward nerd. It's like hearing your grandparents swear.

good read. It gives an explaination why Discovery is the way it is.

That admiral is hot! I honestly don't see why they were giving the captain a hard time though. It makes sense to rescue a diplomat that could end the war. WTF is this admiral thinking going into a meeting blind with a race that's known for war. LOL.

Only 5 episodes deep, and renewed. I'm glad that it did, because this show is so good.

Next week's preview looks goooood

I think she's going to die and it's going to be plot armor for Captain Lorca's secret

I totally thought she was going to die in that trap. It wasn't very Klingon like to keep her alive. :)

They are just trying to milk the franchise for everything they can now. Just let it die already.

I really like the direction they took the show, and I'm glad I stuck around. First couple episodes were rough.

What I don't like is that there are only maybe 4 characters we really know about. The entire bridge crew are a bunch of weird looking people/aliens who we know nothing about. Hopefully they get developed in coming seasons.

The first 4 episodes left me feeling pretty hopeless for a decent series. Good to know it picks up. It was shocking how un-Star Trek those episodes were.
