Yeah but the season 3 finale took it to a new extreme

the cruel irony is that the only reason that Kelpiens are even spacefaring is because Discovery intervened the previous season, in that regard Discovery caused the burn

Discovery also seems to employ the dimensional technology that the pod from the future employed on Enterprise, being much bigger on the inside

The Klingon merchant on Tulgana IV definitely has the Lursa and B'ETor sound going on, I'd be surprised if the voice actress wasn't wearing Klingon teeth

Found the millenial

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

The Enterprise theme actually played over the end credits - was called "Archer's Theme"

sighs heavily in Australian

Yes endgame was good, but fuck if people aren't now comparing the "weekly episodes" to what was essentially the epic 2 part seaon finale.

I'd have thought it would have yellowed more than that, did you have to treat it to make it look so good?

I'm not defending negative nellies - but its is possible to enjoy something and still criticise it. You've attacked me in the past for having a minor criticism. I'm not going to block you over it, I just think twice about whether I want the hassle, but maybe that's just me

I assume it was because you were tracking down instances of Klingons hugging?

I liked the "He looks like Tom Paris" back and forth, I'm glad they didn't do something hokey like he's Tom Paris' cousin or something. I liked the flashback showing Mariner as the tag along first year, worked better than just telling us in the previous episode, that flashback probably should have been attached to episode 9.

I kept expecting William Boimler to show up before the end of the season, guess they're holding onto that thread for next year
