Nurse Chappel is hot as ****, even more so when decked out in her civvies. And apparently, she's an unapologetic slut as well. New favorite character located!

Yeah this episode throttled back significantly, but it was still enjoyable enough.

Geezz New Worlds is already light years ahead of Discovery. Not even close.

Weren't gay or Bi in the original Star Trek timeline of the series? Being gay was illegal in the western world. You were thrown in jail or made to take drugs to stop your gay "urges:. So of course they didn't show that on TV in the original series.

The whole Klingon V. Federation was a way to talk about Russian v USA. The half white/half black face episode was about racism in this country. I could go on and on about episodes that people would consider "woke" these days.

I believe this series is making a sincere attempt to make a 2022 version of the original 1960's series. For the most part its working. 4 episodes in, its already the best Star Trek TV series since the original.

I'd much rather see Nurse Chappel rolling around in bed with another hot women than seeing Spock in bed with a women. :rolleyes:

I think you are being too hard on it. You must not like hijinks. I enjoyed it, the humor was well done. It was a good counterpoint to the previous Memorial Day episode. The diplomatic solution was right in line with a classic ST:TOS mentality. I think you'll look back at this one with fondness. Or at least more appreciation than, say, Spock's Brain.

I'm still holding out for a good old fashioned evenly-matched space battle.

Honestly...I enjoyed it, even with the entendre abound.

They would have to go full on Discovery to make me hate it. I enjoyed the whole Enterprise Bingo scenes....and the light hearted nature after the intense last episode.

Of course...in the old days I was probably one of the few people that enjoyed the Tribble episode.

Having the name Jess Bush makes it hard to find nudes :)

I think it was more of a clearing the air episode, and I really enjoyed the laid back nature of it.

I don't see the lunacy of Discovery at work. The actual writing and story are far too good, even with a breather episode, than anything Discovery even attempted to do.

The latest episode was better, albeit more than a bit dark. Also got to see the Enterprise kick a bit of alien spaceship ass.

Good episode. I enjoyed that '**** I really need a stiff drink after that' moment at the end.

Lindy Booth is pretty nice looking....she can take me prisoner anytime.

I can't quite recall (mostly because I try to put much of Discovery out of my mind at all times), but that might have been the first episode of live action Trek since Enterprise with a central premise that raised a moral/ethical quandary of that sort. Not exactly new ground for the franchise as a whole, but it's good to see that they are still doing those.

I'm so damn happy with this REAL Star Trek they've finally given us.

Rewatched Dune today. Realized that the doctor from SNW also played Jamis.

0Interesting. We rewatched Dune on Saturday.

Noticed the same thing.
