L'ak is a Breen, I'm calling it.

When they introduced the bridge crew and they turned up their faces I was thinking “but who are you though?”

Out of Star Trek Discovery characters, Jett Reno is the one I'm going to miss the most after the show is over. And I'm kinda surprised that the Vulcans still have Victorian attitude towards interracial marriages. I thought after the unification of Vulcans and Romulans, Vulcans are okay with interracial romance. P.S. It is so refreshing to see a Ferengi bartender again.

To be fair, in TOS we really didn't know anything about Uhura, Sulu, or Chekov... and we REALLY didn't know much about Leslie or DeSalle.

Christ, you'd think they'd depend a little time focusing on Moll and L'ak's story.

Why is the ship’s doctor in charge of the hunt for information on L’ak and whatever the woman’s name is? Then, when they’re on the planet and he has the other consciousness inside him, it’s a little ridiculous that he would let Michael and Book deal with the creatures as a test to see what they would do. If they killed the creatures to save their own lives, that would be a failure? Seems like self defense to me.

What if the device Michael & crew are building in "the new chase" is a transporter to bring one of their decedents back in time to meet the Progenitors ??

Hey Nick love the review and love the shirt you're wearing! I see in the merch store that there's only the B&W or the Inverted version of that shirt on there now. Are there any plans to bring back the regular one like you have on or are those done now?

Leave it to Discovery to address five years of criticism about character development by holding a literal character development session. Regardless of how you feel about the issue you have to appreciate the sheer audacity. This show doesn't do subtle.

T'Rina bringing Saru a POLKA DOT BEGONIA, (Begonia maculate) was such a sweet, loving gesture, a new house plant to make him feel at home in his new residence. This is a native plant from Brazil but does indeed look very much like a futuristic plant.

Some nice aussie paraphrasing there Nick lok

What happened to keeping the crew together?

Books connection with the cloaking giant bee species reminds me of the TOS episode "The Devil In The Dark". Book, Spock, Mind meld..... alien mamma is just protecting her ofspring.... etcerata.....

Good video. I like the “mini, quick breakdown” teaser you offered at the videos start. This seems like an addition to the format. A good hook! I don’t have paramount plus any more so just follow Disco online. I haven’t seen this episode. I love the notion of revisiting recognised alien races especially when they’ve been mentioned but never depicted. Discovery is visually too dark and blue imho. Like a James Cameron movie season after season. The tech has become too advanced. The stakes don’t feel real. The whole notion of a race to collect puzzle pieces feels tired and overused. Still, I plan to watch at some point probably on DVD.

I'm very curious as to how that tracking bug that Mol put on Adira at the end is supposed to work. You would think that with Zora monitoring everything on the Discovery, that she would be able to pickup any rogue signals being sent out from the ship that might allow someone to track them so curious if its actually a tracker or just a pre-programmed bug that's supposed to mess with the ship in some way.

Why did they do that to Tillys hair?

With this being the final season, I doubt we're going to get anything of any depth from the side characters on the Discovery bridge. Action has always been the main focus of Discovery with a bit of token relationship scenes and the always welcome Tig Notaro's quipping to break up the action set pieces. All this drive for Diversity and Inclusion but ironically the diverse characters aren't really...included that much... confused shrugs. Then Rayner joins as First Officer and we get 20 seconds to get to know the crew but then find out that Rayner's not really that interested in getting to know the crew anyway. Oh, the irony. Was this an attempt at an in-joke on the lack of character development in Discovery? If so, it definitely worked! Aside from gripes...I enjoy the action set pieces in the show, this is where I find Discovery excels. I do also like the no nonsense Rayner, a welcome addition to the final season. He's in danger of becoming an interesting personality so he'll probably be killed off at some point! 😆

To me sounds like they're going down the same route and ideas of the Genesis Device. Reformation of life in any form we see put. Lets see if Zora picks up the tracking device too.

So long as they didn't actually say that the snake creature was a Selay I'm fine pretending it's some other race.

So when Adria gets back onboard the ship she /him won’t set off triggers that a object is on her/him?

I think it would have been cool to see the Dax symbient down on Trill. Not a requirement for my entertainment, but it still would have been cool to see what they were up to.

I would like to see more than 10 episodes per season on Discovery or Strange New Worlds. Just reduce the episode length down to 45 minutes instead of an hour and they could do 12 episodes or 13. Character-building scenes could be done while the plot is advancing, instead of dragging it out in long conversations in between major scenes to fill the hour. Otherwise, episode 3 of Discovery was still okay with some good moments with the Trill ancient testing and speaking with Burnham and Book. Tilly's opinion and final words to the new Commander getting to know the crew, was a good scene though, when her irritation reached a boiling point!

Thanks for the Easter eggs?

Love your review. It was spot on. It was a really good episode. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Not a bad episode but I have a problem with her placing a tracker how did she know they were on Trill when she didn’t have the 5th puzzle piece and how did she get past Trill security? Looking forward to the live stream!

The actor for Gray is gonna be old when playing Lev again for The Last of Us 3

The tzenkethi had an appearance on TAS, but we’re no supposed to speak of that…. I guess

Watched 4 seasons of Discovery and I just can’t anymore. Episode 3 for me was on of the worst episodes and I can’t even have myself watch anymore. I have been watching Star Trek since 9 and I am 47. Oh man,,, I don’t even know what to say. Give me a Season 3 Picard anytime. Discovery is just trash. Just can’t,,,lol. Live Long and Prosper 🖖🏼

I'm so tired of people complaining about discovery. It's a program. Don't watch it if you don't like it. But please shout your mouth if u don't like. I personally love EVERY STAR TREK INCLUDING DISCOVERY, YES I LOVE IT. SHAME ITS CANCELLED. star trek fans are never happy.

Despite how divisive ST:D has been with fans; I'm old school and have so far seasons 1 - 4 on DVD, yes DVD not Blu-ray nor 4K nor streaming. This iteration of Trek series continues to remain where I, too like many others, not only can I not name most of the Discovery bridge crew, I'd struggle to string a few words together about their backstories. I know there have been episodes where writers have tried to present this crew as a family like other series, but for me unfortunately this hasn't really resonated with me. A couple of refreshing aspects of Discovery vs other series; in no particular order... Spore drive - even if it's retired tech, we never had seen this type of drive before in other series Set in the future beyond 24th Century- lots of fans quibble about how many prequels or origin series / films there are so it was great to see Discovery set in the future and remains so. I agree storytelling overall has been patchy and the whole season arcs of "universal jeapordy" was tiring and tested our patience and tolerance but otherwise Discovery unlike ST:E hadn't been cancelled before it's natural closure. I look forward to complete Discovery's DVD set when S5 DVD is released. Where to now? Section 31 & Starfleet Academy... hold my drink 😮

It's crap. A travesty of the Star Trek culture. How it lasted 5 seasons is beyond me.

It had its moments but the sooner Grey and Adira are written completely out of the series, the better. They've always served only as the gayest of all distractions, they exist only to make this Trek more woke than any other. But the comical irony of them is that ultimately they're a male and female couple. LOL. The giant bugs are SO contrived, and look WAY too much like the alien bugs in the video game in the Wreck-It Ralph movie. Captain (now Commander) Rayner is possibly the only good thing to happen on the ship this season so far. He's got a really rough exterior but I predict he'll smooth out soon enough. Or get tossed out an airlock in his underwear.

Tilly lecturing a former Captain like she has more experience is everything that's wrong with Discovery. The entire crew are a bunch of children, always worry about their feelings and what not. This show is being written by LGBT people.

The question should not be, "Why did the show get cancelled after only five seasons?" The question should be, "Why was it renewed for a second season?" Perfect example for Get Woke, Go Broke.

Please do not ever mention anything from trailers! Many of us do not watch those.

God awful episode

The writing in this show, is just darn right terrible and utterly boring.

This episode was just terrible. How are they stretch this out? The character development is non existent, it's just Michael and The Doc, and they are both so annoying, and un-starfleet. the dialog is all over the place, the story like every other season, so predicable. Let's just get this out with shall we.

😂😂😂 this was just unwatchable! Sorry dude can’t watch your channel anymore until you start to review something good

so many Gay characters in the show like 6 total 2 half

Wouldn't make sense if they keep the map hidden instead of searching around? Molla and lak wouldn't have passed the test of thrill, they wouldn't even get close to the clue 😅

Can you imagine if they revive Kirk's body? 😅

I thought Discovery was set pre Generations and with Pike on the TOS time line. I am confused?

omg star trek is going woke
