a few days late but i got round to watching Discovery Season 2 Episode 3 and it was a good one plus it looks like Tyler has joined Section 31 so that will be interesting to see in future episodes
but there is ONE thing they have been saying that this season L'Rell has to fight sexism being a female chancellor in a male dominated council and i'm sorry but that was total bull****, the council was genderly diverse and the motivation of the baddie was power and had nothing to do with sexism, i'm actually really starting to like the series and the characters BUT the actors behind it are trying to push an agenda and are twisting the episodes into something they aint

@FullbringIchigo I did see a random comment on a random article someplace (when looking at something completely unrelated) that L'Rell and the Klingon element of Discovery "continues to be a poorly-handled missed opportunity that can't decide what it wants to be".
Sorry to hear that you'd agree with that assessment.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
they should just drop the Klingon's full stop honestly or give them their own series because they just don't gel this season, it just feels like they are there because they were there last season

@KALofKRYPTON i know, why don't they just come out and say it's a reboot because that is obviously what it is
on a positive note they announced 2 of the cast for the Picard series and while i have not seen much of Michelle Hurd apart from the few episodes of Hawaii 5-0 she was in i HAVE seen Santiago Cabrera in a few things including Merlin and The Musketeers and he's a pretty good actor

@KALofKRYPTON you would have thought they would have tried to come up with a title that wasn't almost the same as the other running series
just calling it "Picard" would have been fine, it didn't even need Star Trek in the title because "Picard" tells you all you need to know

@FullbringIchigo@KALofKRYPTON What's worse is that the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy of novels already exist, and involve Picard (as well as Captain Ezri Dax, because of all the characters who would make excellent starship commanders, she's top of the... oh, wait).
At least Star Trek: Discovery was only my supremely-average fan fiction before a couple years ago.
I also love Star Trek because it isn't Star Wars; there's a big difference between "using intelligence and skill to craft your own outcome as you push forward the frontiers of exploration" (Trek) and "destiny" (Wars) and yet the Kelvin films often spoke of Kirk being "destined" to captain the Enterprise, and about Kirk and Spock being "destined" to come together (something I always took from JJ Abrams saying multiple times that he specifically wanted to make Trek more like Wars).
Picard is the polar opposite of destiny. Picard solves things using rational deduction (hence his obsession with Dixon Hill) and diplomacy, with a light smattering of "shields up, red alert" when it's absolutely necessary. It's literally the worst word they could've chosen.
My money was on "Star Trek: Engage" but what do I know.
@RogerRoger well it is CBS after all, i'm surprised they even came out with a name at all
i still think just "Picard" would have been perfect

@FullbringIchigo@RogerRoger I'd just like something a little more grounded in the show itself. Unless this is grounded in the show and rather than being a straight up continuation of Picard's life and career, they just go the almost inevitable 'cosmic significance' route.

@KALofKRYPTON well that's what happens when you have a Star Wars fan who doesn't understand Trek in charge of Star Trek
