Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2

This episode was absolutely brilliant!! The scenes were just beyond spectacular The storyline's tied up Explanations given why Discovery isn't mentioned in The original series Visually stunning and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire episode Discovery is just amazing People who score this low really need to either watch something else or get another hobby This show is just on another level of brilliance I swear I haven't seen a better Star Trek episode or Series like this The attention to detail is flawless I'm going back to rewatch it ... so so good

This episode explains the canon issues for all of the haters. I would fully recommend this show to those who have a full appreciation of the essence of Star Trek. If you truly do, you will see the beauty in it.

Finally it felt like Star Trek. But only last 5 minutes in Enterprise. A perfect cool Captain: Christopher Pike, Number One and Mr. Spock. That means hell of a crew! I wish this trio were the leading roles. But what did we get in Discovery? Over acting, over drama. Burnham cries in every goddamn episode eeeeyk. Someone gets hurt and everybody acts like worlds end, IN A GODDAMN BATTLEFIELD. They stop fighting and do emotional talks. Everybody dead and return from dead several times, oh gosh! This makes me sick every time. And I will not talk about relationship between doctor and chief engineer... Am I watching a drama soup? NO, SCI-FI. And this episode is the perfect example this show how must be.

Every Spock, Number One, and Christopher Pike scene gived me goosebumps. I think Anson Mount is the best thing about this show.

The show-down didn't have to happen if they used the damn Spore-Drive to take the ship to the Gama Quadrant "temporarily" until the suit was ready. Jump back when ready and then exit the timeline. Sorry but having a massive battle for a TV show isn't sexy or interesting. Star Trek isn't Star Wars. ALSO, the fact that Sarek came to say good bye without informing Star Fleet to send more ships is STUPID! Why does Section 31 have some many ships in it's inventory? Discovery's computer system is more capable than a dedicated Science Vessel or a planetary based system? They had plenty of time to negotiate with the AI for a proper purge for a safer location.

I'm just venting because just like JJ, this series has shattered the original timeline and the Prime Directive and it hurts.

I wish they would have created this universe as close to canon as possible with only few tweaks.

6 because I will continue to watch because it's watchable, like watching a train accident, plus the visuals are solid. Hopefully, future episodes will give other crew time in the spot light.

When an episode feels like a film is when you know they have done it right. It's when it's over quickly with little to remember is when you should be worrying. Distinctive this is, distinctive graphics, (best I've seen) and a distinctive episode. Some critics mention cameras being shaky, however after watching it again, it's visionary almost, I noticed cameras shaking around during memories and flashbacks, obviously intentional, giving it a different feel to the memory. Shaky cameras during battle scenes? Well battle scenes are mostly chaotic.

This Lord Of The Rings comparitive.. one of the best Trilogies of all time. So only a good thing.

Again for me, a futuristic show should look futuristic and not dated, which this does and then some more. If you want to watch a sci-fi that looks like they are hanging spaceships on bits of string then that's great.

I saw bad CGI mentioned somewhere... really? The graphics are absolutely immense and so detailed. When Michael goes through space and time and the radiation of colours that emits from her iron man like suit, (again not a bad thing) even Ash's hair part-in was gelled nicely.

It's a beautiful piece of storytelling, admittedly their are a few narrative leaps, but in the grand scheme of things doesn't take much away from the show for me. This episode has left it open for plenty to happen and is memorable for the right reasons. You can see how much hard work has gone into this episode and the acting... which I also have to take into consideration. Brilliant.
