Star Trek Discovery

[zaliachimera]

So I watched 9 episodes of Star Trek Discovery last night (up to S1 Episode 14 now) and a couple of things:

1. oh wow they actually made the mirror universe scary and awful rather than campy and kind of 'you can tell people are evil because they're sexy and gay'
2. Michelle Yeoh
3. Jason Isaacs in a leather jacket
4. Jason Isaacs with a bit of blood running down his lip
5. I mean, I am very Ace but....
6. Kind of mad about that one death

And also

7. Jason Isaacs shaking and trembling after being tortured


I'm really enjoying it so far!

Oh wow, I am glad you're really enjoying the show so far! I finished up the first season awhile back and am very eager to start up the second whenever I have the chance to do so (and I agree with you about the one death though). It is pretty entertaining for the most part! :)

Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised by it! It's managed to examine a lot of things about Star Fleet without ever feeling like it's gone grimdark, which I appreciate, and the Mirror Universe actually tied into the plot rather than being thrown in randomly for no particular reason.

This definitely sounds like something I need to watch oh my...

I definitely recommend giving it a try! It takes a little bit to get going, but I found it well worth the time investment.
