She's a big girl, is Tilly. The Michelle Yeoh thing has caused many hilarious arguments in the fandom. People who want her to be a descendent of Hoshi Sato and those that say she can't possibly be that as she's a Malaysian Chinese actress and Sato was Japanese.

Merzbow Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Oh it wasn't a slight on her, she looks plenty fit to me. Quote

Nice cameo and I guess it freed up Jeffrey Combs to play Brunt for the episode. I've been doing the same. S3 was fucking incredible, I dont think I saw an episode I didn't really enjoy. Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 18, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted January 18, 2018 I never finished Enterprise before, I just couldn't hack it. With all the recent Mirror universe stuff I've gone back to the Mirror, Darkly episodes following reddit recommendations. What a load of shit! Everyone changes allegiance ten times, they discover the Defiant and guess it comes from another universe (?) and Scott Bakula practically laughs "muhahahaha!" panto style throughout. Utter pants.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 18, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) SWERVE But good shout on DS9. Once Avery gets the beard, shit goes down. Edited January 18, 2018 by Onyx2 Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 18, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 18, 2018 I'm simultaneously watching DS9 for a revisit and forcing Enterprise down me for the first time. I love Captain Sam Beckett, but I'm currently watching a few episodes of DS9 a night and maybe one day in three I'll watch a single episode of Enterprise. Draw your own conclusions. Quote

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 22, 2018 Thoughts as I have them : * The mirror universe has a lot of imagery that made me think "First Order." * The rabid complaints of Kling Fandango about "filthy humans" sounded a little like Thrones s1 Valyrian. * Good Yondoo impression there from the Emperor. * Excellent explosive death. They haven't shied away from "horrific" so far. * The big reveal was excellent. I mean, there was a air of wrong un about him from the start but still. Quote

It's almost as though [the Clem Fandango/Klingon thing was stuck out there and made obvious to try and distract us from the Lorca thing? Very cleverly done. I wonder how Mirror Stamets and Stamets Prime being in each other's bodies will play out over the rest of the scenario. Edited January 22, 2018 by jazzygeofferz Quote
Paid Members hallicks Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 22, 2018 Spent about 20 minutes slagging the writers after episode 9's "go on, just one more jump eh?" when any normal captain would have just travelled with the warp engines. So now it all makes sense. But fuck, fuck! Brilliant. Quote

Hide contents Eagerly waiting to find out the wherebouts of 'our dimensions' Lorca That's assuming Lorca survived the destruction of this Universe's Buran and didn't do the right thing by going down with the ship. Is Mirror Burnham going to turn up at all? Edited January 23, 2018 by jazzygeofferz Superfluous S Quote
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 23, 2018 I just want 'our' Lorca to be discovered in a secret panel type deal in the museum of war. Just from this episode they can go so many ways, it's as if they looked at Voyager and thought how they could make it a decent show. Have we got spoiler rules for this thread? Quote

Mirror Stamets and Prime Stamets aren't in each others bodies. Mirror Stamets needed Prime Stamets to get them both out of the spore coma, but they didn't switch places. I was pretty sure Lorca was Mirror Lorca for weeks now. So it wasn't a huge swerve. But this is shaping up to be an excellent Star Trek show. Re: spoilers. I think we should just go to town and anybody who doesn't want to be spoiled shouldn't check this thread until they've watched the latest episode. Edited January 23, 2018 by SpursRiot2012 Quote
