Saints of Imperfection

Good episode but I hate when characters stand around talking instead of escaping! Anyone else also notice Tilly's comms badge appeared on the opposite side around 25 mins or so in? Continuity people, continuity.

Ok show with some good moments, but the technology is way to advanced for the timeline and the show is pushing the gay agenda too much and it's getting annoying

Just when the writers were guiding this series into becoming one of the best Star Trek series yet, they do a nosedive to reintroduce a boring relationship that no one cared about.



I know what's around the corner, unfortunately - focus on LGBT relationships.

Groan!

First things first: The way the writers handle Section31 compared to previous shows within the Star Trek universe is strange. It sort of enforces the view that the writers don't know about previous shows out of pure negligence or straight up don't care about established lore.

That being said, I found this epsisode to be bearable bordering on entertaining. It does require a hefty dose of suspension of disbelief but there were many episodes in past Star Trek shows which didn't take themselves so darn serious. Sometimes you get a little less Sci and more Fi in Star Trek and this episode is a good example.

Moreover, for the most part character interactions in this episode matter contrary to last week's instalment. Burnam's reaction to Georgiou had an impact on Pike and we actually got to see some dynamic character development which felt meaningful and not artificially drafted over bad writing. The conflict resolution was a bit cheesy but it'll work for me.

I don't know where this show is going and I have been very critical of this season so far but I'm willing to give credit where credit is due and this wasn't all that bad at all.

I, a trek fan since the 70s, and she, a complete newcomer to the universe, are both anticipating new episodes of season 2 every week! This story is not the strongest of the season for sure. But we are both at a point where we enjoy the characters and the universe do much that we give the weaker eps a bit of a pass cuz it's enjoyable to see our crew in action.

On the downside, the mycelial network plan feels made up and contrived. And the use of Hugh here is a play to sentimentality that makes bringing Tasha yard daughter back seem like a reasonable plot point. Tilly is the weakest of this season. And section 31? Idk.

Butttt, Pike is the strongest addition to season 2. The best of all starfleet captains rolled into a single character. Effects are top quality as always. And editing and dialog pop and move the characters and emotion forward with a pathos that provides depth, playing against the history established in season one.

Diggin' it!
