Star Trek Discovery - The STORY So Far!

If you would show pictures of who you were talking about each time it would be easier to remember. This summary could have been a good jumping on point for someone who was interested because of the time travel plot in season 3.

[@kortnik1]

Excellent recap. Thank you!

[@AllthePrettyPurses]

Okay, can someone explain this to me. I've just started watching this show -- just finished episode 2. What I saw was that Burnham knocked the captain out, ordered the crew to fire on the Klingon vessel, but before they could, the captain, having regained consciousness, showed up on the bridge, delayed the order, and sent Burnham to the brig. They didn't fire. They didn't do anything. The Klingons ended up attacking after the rest of the fleet showed up,. As far as I could tell, Burnham's 10-second mutiny had absolutely no effect on the situation, since none of the orders she gave when she assumed command were carried out. So why do people act like the battle/defeat/deaths were her fault?

[@jarynn8156]

She killed T'Kuvma despite strict orders to capture him. As far as the Federation was concerned, that had to be the reason why the Klingons opened fire. Couple that with her act of mutiny in the moments leading up to the battle and her unwillingness to defend her actions, and yeah, she got the blame.

[@vezner]

Yeah, the writing is bad. No doubt.

[@stankyyboi]

Minor gripe but it's pronounced more like "Shen joe" not "Shin zoo" It's like saying Anterpreese instead of Enterprise

[@LexYeen]

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

There is one thing that still bugging me, throughout season 1 and 2, it never mention Sybok (Spock's half-brother). It never explained why he never mention, or if Michael knew him, or if he ever exists in Star Trek Discovery canon at all.

Nice to hear your commentary Commander!

[@Seal0626]

Burnham did very little wrong. Nothing she did at the start made anything worse, and what she tried to do would probably have worked if the Klingons hadn't been bent on starting a war no matter what. They sentenced her to life for assaulting a senior officer, and _attempting_ to lie about her orders to fire on a hostile ship. Which she didn't actually get to do. Pretty sure Tom Paris did worse several times a season and ended up promoted...

[@Carlos0619ASmith]

[@seymssogood]

@@Carlos0619ASmith Not much of a difference there.

[@Carlos0619ASmith]

@@seymssogood Much difference, he earned his way, despite his rebellious side.

[@seymssogood]

@@Carlos0619ASmith Burnham earned her way in an equivalent institution, followed by 7 years in Starfleet on the First Officer track. You are comparing that to Tom Paris, which occurred over a hundred years later when Starfleet had become much more rigid than in those earlier years.

[@Carlos0619ASmith]

@@seymssogood I believe you mentioned first Tom Paris in comparsion to her. Different universes and approaches will have to be the hallmark of this discussion. Her position was made for her, it was not earned, that is the main point of this converse. She was placed...and literally to throw her acedmic creditnals is the same as SF training is stretching. VAOS does not have a criteria of sending non officer sciencetists to Star Fleet, to gain an officer rank. If she went through first the Vulcan Expendtion Fleet, and then transferred, then her status to SF equivalent would have made sense. But then again this is Secret Hideout story, they short cut everything. Modern Trek it is by design, so say they. Well, they brought all the bad traits that we all are aware of.

[@schar8335]

Cool that it's Ketwolski 😂👍

[@marv5078]

The only thing that annoys me in Star Trek is that there is sound in space. They could correct this easily by having their ship and suits have an 'enviromental audio simulator'. They are technologicaly advanced enough to have such tech.

[@thelodownshow313]

Great recap thanks!

[@joesmyth88]

I like that Ketwolski works on this channel now. He is the honest and reliable voice of all things Trek on KZbin. I think the season will be good though... something a bit different. That being said, I think it will be a slow burner and we won't get any real info until the final few episodes.

[@garydonahue8584]

About to watch season 3 so like others here I needed a refresher, but now I think I might need a refresher for the refresher. Maybe it's my ADD, but I find this series somewhat hard to follow. I've watched several serial shows including GOT, The Americans, Justified and Breaking Bad to name a few, but never felt confused about what was going on. Discovery is still enjoyable, but I think perhaps in an effort to make it not boring they are overworking the storylines. Fewer more in depth storylines would improve this show immensely,.

[@EC-ol8nz]

I started watching, what is with the shaky camera in the show🤣 but this recap saves me a lot of time rewatching the show👍

[@thomasipad7719]

I watched the third episode of the third season of Discovery and man... i was bored. Both story line and characters are truely written by a bunch of Kindergarden children that were also short of time. The same happens when a roleplaying game master did not prepare nothing and make things up on the fly. I watch this stuff, but it is a shame that it is connected to Star Trek. In season 1, things looked better - but already here, the ideas around Klingons and many many other things were plain idiotic. The whole thing was not thought out and written by people who love and knoe Star Trek!

[@thecloudtherapist]

Michael Burnham. The diverse female space jesus responsible for everything good that ever happened in ST. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@savagestarlight7311]

The third season of Discovery is far from boring! How do you find the concept of a pre-TOS era ship and crew helping to restore and rebuild Starfleet and the Federation in the far future boring?! They are literally the next generation of the future!

In my opinion, Burnham was wrong for what she did but none of her actions caused the war or her Captain's death, it was happening anyway :-)

[@tortysoft]

I agree on both points.

[@Carlos0619ASmith]

Have to disagree, she had a major distrust on the Klingons, due to what happened with her original parents. Second, she never joined Starfleet during her younger days as a cadet. She came on as a civilian, spent 7 years on board learning, was given commission of a officer, which have been a field commission instead. If she had a pysch evaluation as a cadet, she won't made it that far. She was a person of privilege, an experiment by her foster father. Who had no business being in Star Fleet...at all.

[@seymssogood]

@@Carlos0619ASmith Burnham attended and graduated from the Vulcan Science Academy, which is equivalent to Starfleet Academy. Her higher level of expertise warranted earning (not just given) a first officer commission. At heart, Burnham is a rebel, very independent-minded, and values doing the right thing, despite the rules. Starfleet needed more rebels.

[@Carlos0619ASmith]

@@seymssogood Rebels in the Discovery Alt verse, sure...but Jonathan Archer did that first. Equivalent to Star Fleet Adecemy? Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Spock in the STKT verse select to go Star Fleet Adecemy instead finish out in the Vulcan Hall of Science? Oh wait, there was no foster sister there. I believe that any candidate from another instution, must learn all protocols that governs all personnel within Star Fleet. But she is different right? Privelge correct? Jump the line, correct? She spent like 7 years aboard a ship, that cadet does in that time, before they pass getting a ensign rank. Her Foster Dad pulled strings to by pass the standard entry to STA. This is the rebel, that mutiny against a commanding officer, caused a quandrant war, with SF losing badly and millions dead. This rebel...

If he is, he is probably also cheering that, while it might have taken 30 years before his demands were met, LGBT characters were put into the core cast of a Star Trek show. One of his last efforts before his death was to get some LGBT cast members on TNG, but the moment he died, all those plans were tossed down the drain because Paramount was scared of ruffling some feathers.

Thank you so much for the recap of seasons one and two. I loved season two of Discovery and I think the acting and cinamatics are first rate. I sincerely hope that Ms. Martin-Green will finally be exonerated in this third season. She is a fine actress, but the showrunners and writers of the first season put her in an untenable situation by writing her character as a mutineer and the foster sister of the legacy character Spock. As a consequence, literally everything she did was criticized. I am so happy this show was rescued from the season one showrunners, retconned to give the Discovery a reason to leave established cannon behind, and given a whole new direction. I am excited about the new season and looking forward to your insightful commentary. 🖖
