Did they imply that the Empress (and Burnam) were eating a cooked mirror-Saru during that dinner scene?
Mmmmm! That’s some tasty ganglion.
No, they didn’t imply it. It was explicitly stated. (At least, one of the species, I don’t know about it being the specific character.)
The MirrorSaru was aboard the I.S.S. Shenzhou as Burnham’s servant (or butler if you prefer). Why he was allowed that honor while the others were clearly ‘cattle’ is unknown other than for ‘drama’.
More nitpicks.
Tired…so TIRED…of firefights being seen as projectiles when we know you’re using a weapon that has a beam function and had one forever. AGAIN, its hard to miss with a flashlight. But pretty much since DS9 thats been the case. Until it isnt.
AV Club has also told it well. What is this show about??? You could tell the theme of all the others in a second. This one? “Its about a crew during the Klingon Cold War”?
I guess. And right now that crew is just Burnahm, Saru, Stammets, and the cadet? And those actors and characters are…ok…but they really arn’t strong.
This show. Its fun to follow the synopsis of each ep. And ill try and watch it on Netflix, but its just not exactly deep.
That was why Burnham had to pick a Kelpian from the three offered. It was like picking your lobster. She picked Saru, but to be fair, she obviously didn’t know he was going to become a delicacy.
I remembered there being three of them standing there, and she picked the one that looked at her meaningfully, but I didn’t notice that it was Saru, I just assumed (after the reveal) that it was one of the slaves that just wanted to get it over with.
They all look alike to me–I must be Kelpian racist.
Yeah, I confess I had a hard time telling them apart too. Probably taste the same as well.
I was reading an awesome comment on Reddit, in which the writer of the post opines that you are not watching Star Trek, you are watching Battlestar Discovery. But yeah, give us some more episodes like that and what star trek is, is going to be redefined. Which is weird, in a way because to me, it took Babylon 5 to turn DS9 into a good trek.
I’ve just been calling her Fartbot because of that weird sound effect they play whenever she moves.
No one mentioned the Trump shoutout? I thought that was hilarious. Too bad the show isn’t better overall.
