Not quite so, returning writers and very often the same writer throughout the season on most episodes
Or at the very least some supervising writer maintain a sense of some continuity.
what important continuity is lacking from episode to episode in SFA?
Seems like there’s just enough of it for my tastes tbh, and I’m hugely relieved that the whole season hasn’t just been the search for Caleb’s mum!
The last episode or two will probably be about him and have Giamatti back. Will also probably be the worst episodes.
Hopefully not the only episodes on the ship. Would be nice to see them off on a mission soon.
Nice to see him back for more Origami Chicken? ;)
I see the class may battle a new enemy, Competence Professionalism and Maturity..
Close:
Maybe stop watching this show?
There are so many other things you could be enjoying.
Just close down boards.ie too eh? By your logic nobody should ever criticise anything, just stop watching and say nothing, TV/movie critics everywhere out of a job. Discussing what works and what doesn’t is kind of the point of being on a public forum.
You’re hardly a TV/movie critic.
Everyone who watches TV or films is entitled to an opinion and to express it here. I never claimed to be a professional critic that’s your assumption, not my argument.

Ive never done a full run through of Stargate SG1(despite being a big Stargate Atlantis fan, funnily enough) and a colleague suggested I should.
Onto Season 2 now and really enjoying it. Although there are some episodes heavily influenced from other parts of scifi. One episode springs to mind which basically borrowed a bit of plot from Back to the Future.. :D
I started an X-Files rewatch for the first time since the original run and it was great for a few seasons but the monster of the week episodes get very repetitive. Luckily Wikipedia lists the core alien plot episodes so I just watched them eventually.
I find the same with Stargate. Loved it at the time but the random generic planet episodes get very boring with some notable exceptions.
So, I watched Season 2 of Discovery and actually quite liked it. My main reason for delving in was SNW sparking my interest in the Pike crew, etc. having not being motivated enough to carry on otherwise after the first Discovery season on netflix a few years back. I get that the Kurtzman shows will never have the same vibe for fans as the TOS-Voyager but plot-holes aside, I thought it was fairly decent sci-fi, with a plot that definitely kept me interested. Now, the "jump" to season 3 might be a different matter entirely…
By the by, watched this (and SNW 1-2) on DVD. With behind the scenes docs, deleted scenes, etc., it really is the only way to fly, rather than messing around with siloed streaming or navigating the high seas.
I will stand by much of S1 & S2 of Discovery. I enjoyed the Klingons, especially the main Klingon. I know: "Blah blah blah, not my Klingons". Whatever). I can't remember the name of the main Klingon actor but he spoke the language like a language as. opposed. to. single. barked. words. Jason Isaacs (Say hello to…) was great right up until the boring reveal and I lost interest in his character. I will admit that I have not rewatched them so I don't know if they hold up. I know that I definitely hung in there but didn't enjoy much of the rest. Some minor ups (Tig Notaro) but I REMEMBER liking S1 and 2 (And, yeah, it gave us SNW)
Both of the first two seasons shot themselves in the foot with wild mid season pivots after decent enough starts. Issac and Jones do a lot of the heavy lifting acting wise though.
The only episode I really like from either is the episode where they find a WW3 era community on some random planet.
And then they relegated one of the best prosthetic actors in the business to saying "I trust you….." and basically sidlined him. I forgave a lot on that show but when they sidelined him to be with the "Alien-who's-tears-destroyed-warp", I never really forgave that.
Done worse to Issacs who is one of the best actors Trek has had and was the perfect actor for a Trek captain. Could have been the best since Stewart and Brooks.
That was a HUGE disappointment. I was so up for him being a "Just get it done" Captain and then…. Yeah, and sudddenlt sounds like a TIE fighter at his end (Check it out. It's weird)
That was a great episode.
Also enjoyed the S1 where Harry Mudd does Groundhog day.
After that.....gets messy.
He was almost like one of those ToS captains that went a little too far, but he was given a pass because of the war.
T'kumva or some such. I too enjoyed the newer take on the Klingons, and was interested to see where it all went. Then I realised nobody knew where it all went, including the writers.
HELLO TO JASON ISAACS
Just watched the final episode of DS9 on paramount plus and the cùnts left out Garaks last scene!....
I couldnt believe it...thats such a crucial part of the whole series.....no idea why its not there...
Cancelled my subscription in sheer disgust....
Final thought - felt so bad for Jake, his Dad should've came to him in a vision aswell as Kassidy.....
Was it ththe double length version or the regular length version?
That is my favourite Disco episode. Good music too.(i'm not saying that because I am biased)
T'kumva
Clem Fandango ..
anyone ?
Edit StephenToast at least should get that reference.
Are we mixing up the Klingon Voq with T'kumva?
