He LOVES TNG's 'Yesterday's Enterprise' and the dilemma at the heart of it.

So I guess the plot of the new film would be [spoiler]Everythings got fucked up, people fights, get killed, so much evil, so much deaths then it all reset at ending? [/spoiler]

Heh. What I love about Tarantino films, there will be scenes of that gubbins and I'll still listen to it, and be entertained.

The compelling dilemma in Yesterday's Enterprise is what constitutes a life of significance: fighting the good fight, or dying to prevent that fight ever starting. Only one thing is clear: being zapped by black goo is a waste.

So I right enjoyed that.

Lorca is certifiable but I don't think [spoiler]he's from mirror universe[/spoiler] unless he is playing a long game and very good at acting.

And a shock death!

But good to see a [spoiler]mirror universe[/spoiler] episode that wasn't high camp.

Good to have it back. It's still not Star trek but some of the things the characters say are helping it get there.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

I'm undecided about this change. I need to think about it some more. There were elements I thought 'yes, that makes sense', but some of it didn't work for me, [spoiler]namely the murder and the agony booths[/spoiler]. I'm also coming to the realisation that Burnham is dull as dishwater and I don't care about her story in the least.

Maybe the break was the worst thing that happened here but ten minutes into this, I started asking myself do I actually like this show?

All the characters are assholes, no-one trusts each other, and they haven't done a single original thing yet - what's not to like?

The Legendary Shark

I re-watched the first nine episodes in the hope that, now my disappointment has dissipated somewhat, I might actually enjoy it. I didn't.

I really enjoyed that - I thought it was extremely entertaining and great fun.
There are plenty of questions but that's all part of the fun (Im intrigued to know what Burnham's history with the Vulcans is in the mirror universe).
I don't think it's fair to say the characters are all assholes and that they don't trust each other. Burnham is pretty sound and obviously trusts security bloke (probably wrongly so), Lorca certainly trusts Burnham etc.
I think the whole thing's ace.

Yep. Really enjoyed this latest episode. Haven't enjoyed a ST series this much since DS9, although in a very different way (obviously).

Nice switch to a "Dark Universe" alternate reality - very STar Trek!
