Me: "There's no way they can even come close to being as good as the last episode."
Also me: "OH MY GOD IT WAS EVEN BETTER"
Not bad I guess. But come on, Burnham chose right then and there to have a heart-to-heart with Book???
Well that was different. I like the character driven episodes a lot, but dang...Remy was done wrong.
Overall a good episode but, geez, so much Burnham and her whispery drama voice. Star Trek is best when it's an ensemble. This show should've been called Star Trek: Burnham.
Couldn't we get to know some of the random bridge crew just a little? The officer who had the conn while BOTH THE CAPTAIN AND FIRST OFFICER were on an away mission seemed interesting, for example. (And, honestly, both the captain and first officer beamed down during a dangerous situation?)
Ugh it's just frustrating because there's a lot to like about this show, but some confounding story choices really weigh it down.
I love me a diplomatic standoff so this was the best episode of the season so far...by far.
Noooo not Kitty Kitten! I'll send a prayer your way.
I'm overflowing with emotion after that. Outstanding. The action, the high stakes, the drama...and the cameos! Oh god the cameos!
This show blew away my expectations. I can't believe they pulled it off.
Pretty strong episode actually. I'm glad I didn't give up on this show.
The fantastic last several episodes had SNL on a hot winning streak, but this one ended it unfortunately. Something seemed to go wrong during the cold open and things went downhill from there. Even the music performances, which lately have been visually quite striking, were pretty bland.
This episode really gets into some complicated issues and nobody seems to have a good answer just like the real world. Can't wait to see how the finale plays out. One of the most thought provoking superhero shows of all time.
Well...that was insane. Gotta be the most unhinged Ultraman episode I've seen so far.
Am I the only one lost? Burnham and Book are sad. The two antagonists are sad. The doctor is sad. Tilly was brought back and is barely being used. Otherwise the crew (what little we see of them) is looking for Jenga pieces. That's about it right?
Yet another episode that made me shout "YES!" The way this show drags emotions out of me is so weird but I'm not questioning it.
Waking up early, bleary eyed and watching this show reminds me of early-morning cartoon watching when I was a kid. Except with more tears now!
Good episode and it makes me glad I didn't give up on this show early on. Still, I wish Gel Sadra was more villainous. In fact I wish he (they?) were menacing even a little bit instead of being the goofy clown he's been so far.
Another home run. This show has me in a vice grip and I don't want it to let go. I actually stood up and cheered during the episode's climax (and I'm not a stand-up-and-cheer kind of guy).
I quite enjoyed this one. Good to see a Jun focused episode (sort of). No spoilers, but this one would carry some trigger warnings if this were a new show.
This season's first two episodes were enjoyable enough but this one was pretty boring. A lot of the show's issues are evident here.
The plot holes, for example. Bookham conjured their phasers and didn't really use them and yet the creatures knew they were dangerous? And those creatures were dreadful.
And the relationship stories. We've been expected to care about Burnham and Book's relationship and Grey and Adira's relationship without really showing us why. So it's hard to feel anything there.
I'm so struck by the incredible amount of insubordination being shown in this episode. The new Number 1 (who is 100% unlikeable) is insubordinate to Burnham and Tilly is insubordinate to him in return. Picard would've never stood for any of this lol
I truly can't believe how good this show is. Every episode is better than the last so far. I mean I'm actually shocked. I wasn't expecting to like it at all.
Wow there was almost no crying!
Might be essential. Possible future story threads here. Plus you get to see Joe being more badass than ever.
Optional episode. Some good Jun moments but mostly a Jinpei solo adventure.
This show is a gift to us long time X-Men fans and I'm here for it.
Now I understand why the critics gave this show such positive reviews after viewing the first three episodes. I was lukewarm to the first episode but the second was better. This third one was fantastic.
Another clip episode. That's two in the first 16 episodes. Skippable unless you want to watch clips from the original series.
Good Lord this would've traumatized me as a kid!
I hope viewers weren't deterred by the first 3 episodes or so, because this show turned out to be way better at the end.
This show has been a slow burn to say the least. But it sure is finishing up strong.
Another pretty good episode and definitely one for fans of the first show. Essential.
I've wanted to watch this show for almost my entire life only to find that I really didn't like it all that much. I don't know what I was expecting but I was really let down.
