Will you watch Star Trek Discovery on CBS All Access? (2 Viewers)

I'm curious as to what the Organians and the Q think of all this.

I've heard this theory a couple of times now, and the main reason it doesn't hold water with me is because the borg have always had the agenda of assimilating life forms, not destroying them.

I admit, the nano bites did seem a bit borg-ish, but the borg were also hive minded, not AI based. Wouldn't be the first time Discovery writers got things wrong, but i give them credit for getting things right this year, so i guess we'll wait and see.

And for the record i absolutely love the Enterprise. It really is a missed oppurtunity we can't get a Enterprise: the Pike Years series.

The theory is that the AI is Earth based/made and used to assist emergency services. The advanced borg technology/code added to it to improve it. The Borg were conceived as a threat in Star Trek before we really knew what AI was capable of. The borg were all about assimilating in order to gain knowledge. until they ran into Humans, who actually defeated them.

Anyway, Resetting the timeline really helps resolve the whole "future humans in space" based on 1960s ideas on Future tech. Like in the future we are going to go back to using key cards to program computers.

This show keeps me watching, but I only like it half-way.
The last episode started with starship Discovery and starship Enterprise surrounded by Control,
and ended with starship Discovery and starship Enterprise surrounded by Control.
There was a good 10 minutes of plot development,
and 30 minutes of trying too hard to make you feel like this is a goodbye moment.

Looks like the end of Pike on the Discovery, and Spock will stay?
They will go to the future for a while now?

Watch the short Treks... they pretty much spoil the season.

Yeh, the only thing the kept me raving about the episode was the 15 minutes of totally unnecessary tearful goodbyes that just stunted the pacing of the whole episode. One one point me the wife look at each other and asked, do they not realize we are hoping Burnam dies? They act like the audience has his emotional investment in the character, and the overwhelming truth is, they don't.

We all know Burnam is not going to die, so all this tear jerking was a waste of time.
 
Another good show and they leave us guessing about what's next. I like how the tied everything up to keep from screwing with ST: TOS continuity.

Damn the Enterprise is beautiful. I really hope they consider doing a Capt Pike show.

Now to go cancel my CBS All Access.
 
Didn't really like the ending and how they "tied it up" not to interfere with the timeline. We spent the whole year meddling with time, as if we can't be on a completely different timeline. The whole treason to talk about Discovery just felt like a weak excuse for having all this advanced tech appear before the Original Series and be glossed over as if that's that.

But that was certainly one of the best battle sequences in Star Trek.
 
Like.. they supposedly defeated control. How exactly? Who really knows? They didn't even have to go into the future after that did they?
 
Last nights episode was so good. Man I hope they decide to do a Chrisopher Pike series...that enterprise looks so cool. the battle scenes were done very well. Can't wait for season 3

P.S. - I'm glad I am not the only one that cancels their cbs all access after. :)

I don't see where any time was meddled with. the Timeline unfolded just as it was meant time, not time lines were altered, if anything it was fulfilled. I would say yes, the explanation as to why there is spore drive, spoke sister, or section 31 in TOS was rushed, but not terrible. Classifying everything about Discovery as Top Secret isn't that much different then banning everyone from Talos IV under penalty of death, and it pushes section 31 back into the shadows (though i admit, putting a known former Klingon as its director was a bi of a stretch). It was quick and abrupt, but believable to maintain consistency with the prime timeline, and if it gives us a little more screen time with the Enterprise, i'm ok with that.

The battle was epic, though i could have lived without the drone swarm, it just make the early parts of the battle hard to see. The battle got better as it became capital ship vs capital ship, and once again, the Enterprise stole the show. The re-imagined Enterprise and its crew was outstanding and I loved how it got a bigger focus as the episode moved on, and ended on it.

I like that the correct Klingon warships (D7's) are back.

So at the end of Season 2, we have the prime TOS Starfleet in a state that we would normally expect it to be. In a perfect world, Star Trek Discovery would end and be replace with Enterprise: The Pike Years (which everyone is asking for). But the more likely thing is that Discovery will appear at the beginning of season 3 in unknown space, in a different time. STD will become the new Voyager only it won't be trying to get back to earth. I'm not sure thats the type of star trek show i want to see (again) but i guess we'll see what happens next year.

I'm also glad control didn't turn out to be the origin of the Borg. It just never made sense.

That theory wasn't the origin of the Borg is was the evolution of the prime Borg into a new timeline.

This season was 100% about time meddling. It doesn't matter if this is the "prime" time line. Dr Burnham changed the timeline several times to save her daughter which in turn allows them to defeat Control by sending the signals to Discovery. We saw the final loop.
