Awesome episode. Enterprise is going to show up next episode or the last to save the day.
And yeah this is about the Borg

It makes sense for Control to specifically pick him because it would have been easier to get closer to Michael by posing as someone she was already acquainted with
I relalized that there's still 3 signals to deal with and I doubt that aspect will be resolved in 2 episodes
We never get previews here, is the Enterprise in? Or any more hints towards the Borg?
Holy shit this was a great episode.
Love Tig Notaro's character, I hope she becomes a mainstay rather than a recurring one. Spock being snarky without mouthing off is great (Michael's "UGH" when they board the shuttle cracked me up). And I agree with the sentiment that Peck's Spock is awesome, that was great casting.
My favourite bit tho was the

flashforward of Pike's fate. Man. That scene gave me the goosebumps. I was all "are they doing this? Are they really giving is a throwback to TOS?". That was such a cool scene.
I just really think Mount is doing an awesome job with Pike. I was basically ready to Lorca stan and Pike is that good.
(Lorca was a much better asshole than Leland, though)

Good episode. The Michael/Spock story didn't much make sense but it was well done. They succeeded in making Pike's choice brave, sympathetic and horrifying but I'm not sure how I feel about his fate being linked to his choice rather than just being an accident. It's too cruel either way :(
I think they are setting it up so it makes sense why Spock risks death to get Pike to Talos IV
I wondered too, which would explain the certainty a few episodes ago that the Angel was her.
Huh, so last week I was complaining that they weren't thinking of just blowing up Discovery to destroy the data, and well... I was just early.
Also, I take it that Pike's future is a reference to an episode in TOS? I haven't seen much of that.

I believe this was the plan the entire time ever since Fuller was on board
Yea the Cage (TOS pilot) happened about 3 years before Discos current time and the Menagerie is about 9 years away.
I'll post this is spoilers since it just released this morning internationally, it's just a BTS photo from Pikes big reveal yesterday.
The person wasn't made up of the nanobots, they spilled out of the hole Michael's phaser made in his chest.
I'm watching the series with a comedy/parody mindset as of this episode. Literally burst out laughing at that scene.
Loved how Michael went full Banderas firing phasers
I had to do this

It reminds me of Mass Effect-era Bioware writing. It can be a cool ride occasionally, but you have to turn off your brain.
That leap Burnham had to blow up the damn ship took me out of the moment too. We know they got the jump drive working again because we see them jumping to the Klingon planet.
Also, Pike: "We'll jump until we can figure out how to power the crystal."
Burnham: "We don't have the tools. They'll keep following us. We don't have the time to figure out alternatives."... except they already figured out they could jump in time when they came back from the Mirror Universe months later.
So if a Section 31 ship gets within 100 light years, jump the ship to somewhere they are not. "We will be able to materialize anywhere in the known universe. That's how you beat
I think Reno is Stamets C/Oin engineering but it's more that we see the junior officers highlighted. He's Ro to Reno's Riker.
Man, I'm really disappointed in this show. It's visually gorgeous (though the obsession with rotating shots is... odd), but the writing is getting under my skin. It's so basic and unintelligent, and when it tries to be intelligent it's just clichéd and dumbed down. Burnam's character is the most annoyingly written, which is super awkward when she's the lead of the show - which a shame because the cast are mostly great actors, let down by frequently illogical and poor scripts, hidden behind amazing visuals.
Yep, nothing ever makes sense beyond the most surface level tropes. It keeps raising the stakes by throwing stuff against the wall (Magic Asteroid! Omniscient Sphere! Mycelial Network Collapse! Resurrection! Extinction of all Sentient Life! Time Crystals!) but it never takes the time to expand upon it.
The last three episodes have been bad imo. Whoever thought of the time crystal nonsense? It doesn't fit in with the Trek mythos. I know time crystals exist in real life but the way they're written into the plot here is straight fantasy not sci-fi. The fact that Klingons had hidden all along doesn't make sense either. And the way Captain Pike has been nerfed in this portrayal is truly shocking. Such a great character not being utilised very well. And this is the worst version of Spock, I don't think the writers know what Spock means to Star Trek.

Yeah so this is the description on one of that guy's videos about Doctor Who, titled "Doctor Who Used to Be For Everyone | Latest Franchise Sacrificed to A Cause"..
This is a video I should have made a long time ago. Doctor Who no longer is a show for everyone. Alex Kingston and Peter Davidson both spoke out about their reservations of the 1st female doctor. Both backtracked of course or they would find themselves sacrificed to the intolerant politically correct crowd. This video simply states it is okay to be critical of the female Doctor for whatever reason. What one thinks of the gender of a main character of a fictional TV show doesn't define you. This show has sacrificed a large portion of its audience to the Gods of the cause.
Not a particularly good look or someone you should really be promoting.
I'm sorry what? There was barely any Pike before this portrayal, he had one single episode. As for the time crystals it's no more fantasy than any of the 100s of other fantastical stuff Star Fleet has encountered. Some of you need a rewatch.
I do like Pike, and I don't want to be that atheist guy but I'm not a fan of him being religious. Trek is hardly non-religious and often leans into it incidentally with some turns of phrase but I appreciated that humanity is explicitly atheist in future. I can't think of too many popular shows like that.
Nerfed? He was in one episode where he was trapped in a box.
How many times will we have to say that Time Crystals are a real theory?
Why Do Star Trek fans accept magic Crystals that let you travel faster than light. But magic Crystals that let your time travel is an issue

I watched last weeks episode and I'm getting a really big vibe that Control is the origin of the borg.
I can't remember if it was someone on here who mentioned it but I do like the idea that you can kind of tie in the time crystal stuff with the Klingon Janeway deals with at the end of Voyager.
Also, Worf spent some time on Borath in the future.
