Anything with Halston Sage in it is alright with me.

Have to say, this is becoming more like a real Star Trek continuation than Discovery ever has so far. Seth appears to have cut back on the jokes a little too.

I watched 'Cupids Dagger' last night and actually quite enjoyed it!

Might be a bit difficult as he's been dead for 2 years.

I’ve enjoyed this, it’s very tic comedy to it.
The streams aren’t much up to date though so I’ll wait til it’s out on fox.
It’s getting increasingly harder to stream from sites via Apple TV AirPlay.

I agree the last few episodes have been very treky. a bit annoying as the laughs had been great.

Noticed that the the last episode and another were directed by Brannon Braga. I remember his name coming up at the start of many an episode of TNG.

I think I will have to upgrade my original opinion of ‘entertaining rubbish’. That episode was pretty good, although the title “Mad Idolatry” gave away exactly what was going to happen.
This really is very Star Trek TNG.

God no (ha)

It was a great observation on how humanity can take one little nugget and transform it into a species defining clusterfk and hope that there is a future without the bullst.

The latest episode "Mad idolatry" was very good. It could almost have been a Star trek episode, really enjoyed it, plus I am finding kelly seriously attractive

I agree that it seems to be taking a more serious, Star Trek feel. Which is no bad thing, as long as it remains true to what it was. Fun.

And Adrianne is hot!
