Star Trek: Discovery season 2

https://screenrant.com/star-trek-discovery-prime-kevin-timeline/

Like Abrams' Star Trek films, Star Trek: Discovery was made under Bad Robot's license of Star Trek from CBS. Bad Robot and Paramount wanted to continue their license to produce more Star Trek outside of the increasingly expensive feature films. CBS is happy to use Star Trek: Discovery as a means to promote CBS All-Access, but Paramount and Bad Robot own the series, the production costs of which were largely financed by Netflix, which paid an exorbitant amount for the rights to distribute Discovery internationally.


However, it's because Paramount and Bad Robot own Discovery, not CBS, which owns the Prime timeline Star Trek, that there was doubt among skeptical Trekkers about Discovery's producers' long-held claim that Discovery is set in the Prime universe and will synch up with the established Prime timeline canon. As a prequel, Discovery can claim that it begins in the Prime universe (as J.J. Abrams' first Star Trek did for the first few minutes), but does the series remain in the Prime timeline?

This week's was pretty good too. It was nice that they actually had an away mission to a planet. Did they ever even do that in season one? But I would have liked them to spend more time on the planet side of the plot and maybe meet more more than two characters there (and one was just "stock religious woman.") The last scene with Pike and Jacob was good.

I hope Tilly can learn to save the day without going nuts every week because it's a bit much sometimes. The weird Jamaican girl being a ghost was certainly unexpected.
 
I kind of thought she was imaginary because she was so much like Tilly herself, but I also thought the asteroid was sentiment, and it was linked to her.
 
This week's... actually felt like an episode of Star Trek? Away teams, prime directive conversation, technobabble solutions... it kind of felt like a Season 2 Enterprise episode with a much higher budget. Which I'll take over anything in Discovery season 1!
 
One of the spores landed on Tilly in last season's finale so that's probably how she sees the ghost (I needed reminded of this.)
 
It had a bit of a Stargate feel, which is a good thing.

Tilly has a bit of a Wesley Crusher feel, which is not a good thing.
 
Argh, fucking Klingons are back. They tried to improve on season one by having them speak English for the most part and giving them hair, but they still look like Orcs and their homeworld looks like Mordor. Is Voq/L'rell's baby THE ALBINO!? And who cares when we're never going to see it again? If the Klingons wouldn't accept Voq becaue he looks human, why didn't he just have surgery to make himself look Klingon again (I guess the Tyler side wouldn't have liked that.)

Was annoying how Tilly didn't just go to a doctor right away. She knows weird stuff happens in space. And how did she win that race at the start when she stopped to talk to a ghost for a couple of minutes?

Yeah this was the weakest episode of the season so far but still better than some of seaon one.
 
I was captivated by how Amanda was simultaneously hot and still looking a lot like the original actress from the 60s.

The only good thing about the klingons was the D7
 
I keep trying to forget Amanda was Naked Mandy from 24.

Aside from that, after two watchable episodes we get this. They have no idea how to do a show, do they?
 
Well you admit they did two watchable episodes so they must be able to do a show for at least episodes! I hope we don't see Qo'Nos again all season (don't really want to see Section 31 again either but I know they'll be back because of the trailer.)
 
I didn't mind the Klingon stuff so much, but it wasn't great. I guess they did that to get Tyler back, and introduce Section 31.

Why didn't anyone think to find out what Tilly's spore ghost wants? Why hasn't Tilly asked it? grr
