When I was doing a all Star Trek movies marathon recently, I did wonder what that Species that looked like a Klingon but wasn't a Klingong was, but it seemed hard to look up. Now I know he was an Efrosian.
“Euclidean Geometry”; this is the first mention of a species called the Euclideans.
Hehe
I thought that the twist to Burnham's mindscape challenge would have been that she needed to empathize with others, and thus take a look at what Book was reading the whole damn time.
It is the 31st Millennium. For centuries the L'ak Emperor of Breenkind has sat immobile on the silver throne. He is master of Breenkind by the will of of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of His inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the progenitor age of technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Breen for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die...
Ah yes, a War in the Stars. My favorite Star related story outside of a Gate in the Stars or The Star of Galactic Battle.
The beginning and last line of Dr. Culber's conversation with his grandmother recreation felt a bit stilted, as if he wasn't fluent, which was strange because the middle part of the conversation had a goof flow to it. It made me wonder if there was some failure in directing or if Wilson Cruz is just not that fluent in Spanish compared to the actress for the grandmother, which is understandable and I'm not knocking him for it.
Anyway, I quite liked this episode. Very classic "planet of the week" Star Trek deal that I'm always down for. Break that prime directive. Save those natives from themselves. You can splurge on a plot or two of those. We've seen it before, we've seen it again. It had a solution more rooted in a character moment rather than Treknobabble which I appreciated. Thumbs up for Tilly's endurance, they made that whole run not look easy.
I can't help but think them teleporting to Moll and L'ak with the fresh new clue would essentially play right into their own hands.
Hexagon is bestagon. 'nuff said.

Was I the only one who was expecting a remix of the Discovery theme to the tune of the Original Series theme? I really misread that title.
As an aside, Guy Delisle's "Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea" as an animator collaborating with SEK Studio is a fascinating read. SEK not so secretly animated some singular episode of A:TLA and a couple other things you may or may not be familiar with like Stan Lee's Mighty 7, basically by being an outsourcing of an outsourcing, which seems to be the case here.
"Who doesn't?" I mean asking if a Starfleet officer likes starships is kind of like asking of a /c/star_trek browser likes Star Trek.
Same here. I felt that saying that and having it not work before Rayner has his big speech would have been more fulfilling, and it would have tied in with the awkward scene about pretending to still be in a relationship with Booker.
I kept wondering if the song the Dry Dock Worker was listening to was a song we might be familiar with, but I couldn't identify it because I'm not that into music.
I kept expecting Stamets to use the "You've never been in love" cheat phrase from the last groundhog day episode with Michael as proof.
IMHO, this is pretty rad.
We have Krogan at home.
Linus' scene reminded me of that gag on DBZA about that one guy (Cui) who "reproduced asexually"
Vulcans. As a non-drinker of alcohol, I don't care much for ale and I feel more familiar with the Vulcan culture.
Time to get graded on walking digitigrade.
That feel when I'll never be named as an ancestor to Cpt Jean-Luc Picard.
Khaosworks doesn't sleep, Khaosworks waits.
Those red leaved trees are known to produce a lot of sap. Watch out as it can stick to you.
Anyway, I expected more of a "Be careful what you wish for" resolution with L'ak, but they just told Mol what would happen instead of actually doing it / creating a copy with no memories. I was disappointed with that.
I'm also kind of disappointed that Vulcans are so often seen kissing instead of doing the finger thing.
