I liked it (f bombs). A bit of realism.

So I think I understand how the teleportation spore drive works, you know mushrooms? Well what you didn’t know is that their roots or root equivalents or whatever extend into a subspace domain all across the galaxy so you can use them to travel instantaneously. It makes almost as much sense as that one time on Voyager when Janeway and Paris traveled at infinite speed which made them turn into iguanas and mate and have tadpoles.

They were using this giant size water bear (real life microscopic animals that can survive extreme conditions, don’t ask me how it got so big or whether it was an alien version) aka the monster which is actually only hostile in self defense (RIP retarded security chick from episode 2) to navigate cause it can like absorb mushroom DNA or something. But it didn’t like doing it and they think it was sentient so the fag dude (Rapp aka Lt. Whogives a damn) injected himself with whatever so he could do it. You know this ends in spectacular failure since this technology is never mentioned in the next 200 years.

I was thinking the Black doctor seemed kinda gay but I though naa they ain’t gonna have 2 stereotypical seeming gays. He seemed to be antagonistic with Rapp. Surprise surprise, in the last scene of ep 5 they are using sonic toothbrushers together, they are in looooove. Barf. At least they didn’t kiss or anything, they did the old manly back slap thing that they used to make gays on TV do before they allowed them to kiss, weird.

Rapp’s reflection stayed in the mirror when he left the room, grinning like an idiot, that’s a weird side effect for you.

The Harry Mudd appearance happened. Not really reminiscent of the previous actor but interesting, not really much of him though. Lorca was captured by Klingons and he was there on the prison ship. Also this dude who was getting raped by a female klingon, and we’re not talking about sexy B’Etor here these Klingons chicks are even fuglier than the dudes. That would have been interesting to explore but they didn’t really, they rescued him so maybe later.

Sounds like Lorca could get his eyes fixed (light sensitivity) but won’t because of retarded masochistic/martyr reasons.

Re: I liked it (f bombs). A bit of realism.

Funny, but maybe it is just me at my 70-year old age but I cannot think of the last time I heard any real person use the F-word in my presence. I am sure it is not my regal, distinguished appearance that keeps the 'F' away as I am not above using "hell" and other assorted curse words in my every day speech, but I draw the line at myself using the Big F in mixed company but that may just be me--

I do not object to the 'F' being used in a film where it is appropriate yet I can recall too many times where the 'F' was sprinkled liberally in films just, shall we say, for the 'HELL' of it. In those instances, to me, it was not reality in any way. I am sure lots of young folk use it because it has become fashionable even for our last Vice-President to mutter in public to our last Prez as a matter of fact.

So, enough about the F-bomb as it is a matter of taste these days, not the common sense or common courtesy I was raised in the 1950s to use and respect.

Now, it appears, Imp, that you watched this episode, so answer me this: Did Lorca say he killed all his crew on a past ship because he knew what the Klingons would do to them? Then he alone escaped?

I saw that somewhere on the internet and it struck me that none of the other 'Star Trek' Captains would ever do that. Many times Kirk threatened to blow up the Enterprise to win an engagement but if he did kill the ship, he was killing himself, too. Not running away to save himself. Janeway ever did it twice, I believe, in "Voyager."

If so, that again proves to the max that this is not "Star Trek" in any way, shape or form--

And was such, the reason for cancelling my CBS account.

Gadzooks, ya know what? F#*K 'Sta Trek: Discovery" and the giant size water bear they rode in on!
