Warb, you don’t have to stop with the *sigh*s. Just don’t overuse them.

Hang on a second. You don’t speak for all of us yhwx. I think it would be in everyone’s best interest if Warb did his “thing” a lot less often.

“Warb, don’t sigh.”
“Warb can sigh, just not as much.”
“No, Warb, just don’t sigh.”
"^+1!"
“I said ‘just not as much’.”
“No. Just No.”

Me: *sigh*

I posted that Riker-facepalm and it made me feel like watching “A Matter of Perspective”, the episode that it came from.

So I did.

While I really enjoyed the episode last night, that’s exactly how I was afraid they were going to use Mudd. It makes his presentation as a lovable scamp in TOS completely inaccurate because he’s an evil person.

He was pretty evil in TOS when you think about it and take him literally. He was a human trafficker after all.

I’m going back through TNG and I think season 1 has some good stuff in it. Nothing great, but more good than I remember. Most of the series’ worst episodes in my opinion aren’t even in season 1.

The guy who has one robot peacefully take over a ship then maroon the crew on a planet where every need of theirs will be met (and is defeated by pantomime) is the same guy who

goes out of his way to murder members of the crew of a starship as many times as possible, then destroying the ship on the off chance he’ll be able to commit the perfect crime

is just jarring to me.

That’s true, and I haven’t seen Discovery yet so that might be a bit much for him.

Geez, even Harry Mudd has to be dark and edgy now? Screw them. Next thing you know a Tribble is going to rip someone’s throat out like the killer rabbit in Holy Grail.

And how will they explain all of this not being on Harry’s criminal record in TOS?

I hear alternate timelines are the default excuse in vogue these days. . . .

It sounds like they want name recognition. “Mudd was a recurring villain of the week? Bring him in!” They have to make things exciting though so he’s going to be a mass murderer.

This was the first episode I loved, but it was a huge mistake to use Harry Mudd this way. This should be a completely new character.

By the way, the guy playing Voq appears to have a twitter account, which is really worth reading 😃 @RealJavidIqbal

Space Gays and Space Whales in same episode. I tell you the Hollywood big wigs are lurkers.

Yeah, TOS was boring, so let’s hypercharge everything for the ‘modern audiences.’

He promised never to do that again. And he was very sorry.

This is an issue if you’re thinking of slotting DSC into the timeline, sure, but the ultimate problem of this series as a whole is the botched execution of every single sliver of a promising idea. I could buy Mudd going completely nuts, but you need to build to that, otherwise it’s all just a gimmick. Yeah, it’ll probably get retconned soon and it won’t matter. Arguably, that’s another issue to have with DSC - nothing can or will matter if they indeed aim to fit the series into the Prime continuity.

Basically, the batallion of producers in the credits is not there by accident…

The mid-season finale was easily one of the better episodes, but that only serves as testament to how low the first season set that bar. Yeah, TNG had a wonky start, DS9 took some time to find its legs, but at the end of the day it was never a chore to watch those shows evolve, and even the bad episodes had a sense of ambition/exploration to them. Here, everything just seems like it’s a failure followed by a desperate salvage attempt. Episode 8 feels like a complete disaster with vital footage never shot that was just barely saved in post. I tip my hat to the editor, but this show did not deserve his time or effort.

Basically, I’m sick of Discovery any way I look at the show. And it’s not the Klingon mammaries that broke me. It’s bad sf, it’s terrible Star Trek, it’s deplorable drama. I think I’m done.
