Star Trek Discovery

Well, that only figured, right? Once they ignored the franchise's continuity, what continuity did they have left to ignore except their own?

"Alien species never seen before!" (Which in-universe equals, "Alien species never seen later.")

Mold drive! (Never seen later.)

Mushmouth Klingons with Even Moar EX-TREEM alien faces. (Never mind that Enterprise showed them going from Chunky to Creamy.)

Ships that are destined to go from 24th century to 23rd century design ethos.

Warp flight VFX that come from Stargate SG-1 rather than any incarnation of Trek.

Well, once you pull all those shenanigans, the only thing left is to start ignoring all your own new rules.
 
The introduction of captain Georgiou confused me too. At first I thought the crew were sort of playing along for the record because the mirror universe is a secret, but they seemed genuinely taken in. They’d have to be pretty stupid to believe it considering the Emperor appeared right on their bridge.
 
Never discount the possibility that the writers of this show believe their Starfleet crew (and the viewers) to be "pretty stupid".
 
...isn't one degree more interesting than the original Georgiou. Both just bland. Which is to be expected, when you try to go all David Lynch with a TV series and make a non-lead character the lead character.

I was thinking maybe they'd kept her hidden from most of the crew but I don't know why I thought that maybe I was just trying to make sense of it.
 
I think the only regular crew who saw her was the black guy in the transporter room. Didn't Saru say transport her to some quarters and confine her there and that it was top secret or some shit?
 
Yeah he did, so they did cover themselves in that regard. But still as an average red shirt you’d think it was pretty convenient timing for Georgiou to show up back from the dead, even if her mirror counterpart is doing quite a good acting job and you’re blinded by wanting to believe it.

Either way I still enjoyed episode. It doesn’t make much more sense than fluff like The Flash or Agents of Shield sometimes, but it is very watchable.
 
Of course they are.

The series finale will probably feature Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis in their first-season TNG uniforms.
 
Seven of Nine comes from the future, post-Voyager when she is a zaftig hausfrau running a schnitzel restaurant and has several singing children YAH.
 
Armour is houw it's spelt in The United Kingdoum. They like to add a 'u' after an 'o' four nou gooud reason. Poussibly joust four the foun ouf it. Youou knouw they've gout to get their foun soumewhere.
