E09 Lagrange Point

🪩 Does T‘Rina have a new assistant? Did she ditch Duvin?
🪩 Saru is back! Rillack is back! YAY Only Detmer and Owosekun are missing.
🪩 Awww, space dads have to let their space kid fly. Adira's going to do just fine, dads, I promise.
🪩 Undercover mission, here we go. This is going to be fun!
🪩 Action Saru once more?
🪩 Indeed, now is not the ideal time. But, this is what we were all waiting for. ❤️
🪩 Ooh, oil bath. 😏
🪩 Rayner and Tilly are great together.
🪩 „Maths doesn‘t lie.“
🪩 Rayner sitting in the chair, woohoo!

E08 Labyrinths

🪩 Moll is fearless and she‘s good.
🪩 Love Hy‘Rell immediately.
🪩 Love the robe, and that necklace. Why can‘t I buy it yet?
🪩 🤩 The Discovery approaching the Archive is so very beautiful. Love the angle and the blue.
🪩 A Kwejian artifact. 😢
🪩 I love that library. What they did to expand it into what we see here is amazing. Beautiful!
🪩 Hy‘Rell is hilarious!
🪩 How does Michael immediately go and press the card? Would you have pressed the card? I wouldn‘t. At least not within 2 seconds of laying my eyes on it. Or does it say "press here"?
🪩 As I said, Hy‘Rell is hilarious.
🪩 Oh Book! 😭 That is so beautiful. To have exhibits put at a place of honour to not forget lost cultures is amazing. And to allow Book to take the piece with him, too. ❤️
🪩 Oooh, nice transition. But what happened?
🪩 I love how mindscape Book is moving in his robe. 🔥
🪩 „May you gain knowledge elsewhere.“ 😆
🪩 Ok, I‘m sorry, I have to say it, because it‘s a pet peeve of mine: Labyrinths aren‘t mazes, and mazes aren‘t labyrinths. They are two very different things. The thing Michael finds herself in is a maze. Not a labyrinth. Yes, she correctly calls it a maze, but the two words still are used interchangeably. breaths Ok, moving on…
🪩 I wanna pick Michael's little outburst about having to prove her worth constantly as my Captain‘s Speech moment for our current challenge. There‘s so much in there!
🪩 Adira and Paul have their own Warp Particles Moment! 😃 Even two. 😆
🪩 Hysperians get mentioned, yay!
🪩 Her first word after waking up was „Book!“ 🤭
🪩 😱 The books!
🪩 I love the debris that jumped with the Discovery. Such details are wonderful.
🪩 Moll, you are one hell of a woman!

#StarTrek #LetsFlyThroughSeason5 #StarTrekDiscovery #CelebrateDiscoRewatch #CelebrateDisco2024

Phew, I have watched four episodes today, and only two more to go. Binging a show is hard work. But also a great experience. LOL

E07 Erigah

🪩 Ok, wow, the Disco is massive already. But compared to the Locherer she‘s tiny! 😮
🪩 Nhan!!
🪩 Having Moll in sickbay is a security risk. Don‘t say I didn‘t warn ya.
🪩 I‘m a bit confused here. Where is Fed HQ? They did speed to Earth last season. Where did they go from there? And why? And why this nebula?
🪩 Go T‘Rina!
🪩 Rayner, watch your mouth. This will not be tolerated... and he got sent outside.
🪩 Tilly thinking about her cadets. They will manage, Tilly, they will manage.
🪩 Hugh rocking that cool vest. 🔥
🪩 Betazoid Dr Marina! ❤️
🪩 Of course it‘s Reno! This woman is full of amazing surprises.
🪩 Seven of Limes. LOVE that. (It's a meta word play, people, calm down.) Want to try it. Give me all your recipes! 🍸 I bet there's Kellerun citrus mash in there.
🪩 I would really love a bunch of Trek characters without a traumatic past.
🪩 T‘Rina slaying it.
🪩 Moll overwhelming Starfleet Security so easily. I told you so! Another thing they‘ll never learn.
🪩 Nooooo, L‘ak! 😭 This is really not how your story should end. I had hoped there'd be a happy ever after.
🪩 Moll is super determined. She will stop at nothing. Not even the death of L‘ak.
🪩 The Badlands! Let‘s gooooo!

E06 Whistle Speak

🪩 Great light show! Perfect for the disco ship DISCO. 😄
🪩 I love the feel of paper to, Mr Kovich.
🪩 Though I wished they would say things like „This is a genuine 21st century [American] legal pad.“ Because this is not a global thing.
🪩 P+! Why are there no subtitles to Hugh speaking Spanish with his abuela???
🪩 No, Hugh, this AI therapy thing is creepy! We went through this with the holodecks 800 years ago (Barkley and LaForge anyone??). When do these people ever learn? 😔
🪩 Great seeing Burnham show her xenoanthropological skills here.
🪩 I love Hugh for walking to the lab to speak with Paul, and not transporting.
🪩 Now that are some powerful singing bowls.
🪩 Those woods give me Robin Hood vibes.
🪩 „Go chase your moss. I‘m the queen of endurance.“ Go, Tilly!
🪩 Definitely styrofoam rock. No scans needed. 😜
🪩 Sacrifice!? 😱😱😱
🪩 Oh yes, the good old pull out a thing and turn it by 90 degrees technology. Always works. 😆
🪩 „Beliefs can evolve. Denying that can cause almost as much chaos as the worst storm.“
🪩 I love Book playing video games.
🪩 Hugh and Book ❤️❤️

E05 Mirrors

🪩 I like how we enter the bridge at shift change. At least that is what it looks like. That way it‘s implied that Owosekun and Detmer are simply in another shift.
🪩 They are at the literal butt of space. (Sorry. 😇)
🪩 Book and Michael are so good together. ❤️
🪩 Wheeeee! The ISS Enterprise!
🪩 „You‘re not in this alone.“ ❤️
🪩 With Book and Burnham on the Enterprise… does that count as a cross over? Lika a cross over on more than one plane even.
🪩 More Book and Michael being great together ❤️
🪩 Action Saru in every universe. Hell yeah.
🪩 He‘s Breen! 💚
🪩 Flashback time...
🪩 Moll is very on the edge. I struggle to like her.
🪩 Ah, splitting them up now to get the conversations. Let's see how that goes.
🪩 Book gets finally through to Moll, but L'ak is not convinced by Michael, which leads to an unfortunate accident and destroys the weak bond of trust between Moll and Book. This won't be easy.
🪩 Oh no, L‘ak! 😢
🪩 I am intrigued by Kellerun cuisine. Infact, I did make lemon pudding (boiled cake x citrus) for the last episode back in May. Yum!
🪩 „It was nice. And we were happy.“ 😭
🪩 Hit it! 😆
🪩 Linus is full of surprises.
🪩 I like what Tilly says about the closeness of the intellectual and the spiritual. I often think this is forgotten, or not seen, or simply rejected.

E04 Face The Strange

🪩 Moll and L‘ak having this romantic moment while a guy is dying painfully next to them because they poisoned him is pretty macabre. Not liking it.
🪩 Why is this spider so loud? Absolute design flaw.
🪩 I am increasingly disliking these personal transporters. They are annoying me. It‘s silly having them tap them twice to plop to wherever. Just let them walk, please!
🪩 First three points on that list all negative. But don‘t worry, this is a good episode. Just read on. 😉
🪩 Time Jump — Red Angel wormhole
🪩 Time Jump — Shipyards
🪩 Time Jump — Battle with Control
🪩 The Krenim! Temporal Cold War! I like this name drops.
🪩 Rayner is so confused about Disco‘s past. LOL
🪩 Time Jump — Ossyra‘s attack
🪩 Daft Punk army 😆
🪩 Time Jump — Zora is all alone
🪩 „Or is this another dream?“ 😢
🪩 Burnham and Rayner connecting over a dusty captain‘s chair.
🪩 Time Jump — somewhere before the new uniforms (S2? S3?)
🪩 Reno and Stamets are a great pair.
🪩 Time Jump — somewhere between S3 and S4 I assume
🪩 Now this episode is starting to feel like „Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad“, which I‘m down for.
🪩 Hooo, yes, Book taking his shirt off is distracting me too, Michael.
🪩 Time Jump — S1
🪩 Poor confused Linus. But what a fantastic reaction! 🤣
🪩 We had Voq fight Voq. Now we have Michael fight Michael. Did we need that? No. Do I still kinda like it? Yes. And Sonequa Martin-Green is brilliant as angry Burnham.
🪩 Stamets being „very grumpy, just absolutely irate.“ 🤣
🪩 Aw, Rayner! ❤️
🪩 Airiam! 😭 And Bryce!
🪩 Of course Airiam would give her life to save the crew. She‘s a Starfleet officer. They all would. And in this moment they should have all known that. Still, this is a beautiful moment.
🪩 Was past Michael really that angry?
🪩 Time Jump — and we‘re back home.

E03 Jinaal

🪩 I love how futuristic Stafleet HQ and the ships look.
🪩 Burnham telling Rayner do do one-on-ones with the crew is telling him what‘s important to her and he better go along. This is going to be good. 😆
🪩 Reno!!! Finally!
🪩 Guardian Xi, hello. Nice to see you.
🪩 Ooh, a riddle. But a lame one. (Like most of them are in such stories.)
🪩 A zhian‘tara. Exciting.
🪩 T‘Rina is so great.
🪩 Ah, here we go. 😁 Tilly enters „to facilitate introductions“ between Rayner and the crew. Let the fun begin.
🪩 Tilly is brave talking to Rayner like that. She‘s badass like that.
🪩 „Wow. This guy really works out.“ 😆 Wilson Cruz as Jinaal is killing it. Twice. He‘s so amazing!
🪩 Duvin playing is own little game sowing seeds of doubt in Saru. I don't like him.
🪩 Cool to have Discovery mention the Dominion war and thus connecting back to the 24th century more and more.
🪩 Tilly‘s look at Rhys after his meeting with Rayner! 🤣
🪩 Dr Pollard! So good to see her. Linus being Linus. 😍 Reno being Reno. 😆 And what did Gallo say before we see her?
🪩 Gray and Adria breaking up is awkward and cute at the same time.
🪩 Oh wow, it got pretty dark in that quarry pretty quickly. 🤨 And where is Jinaal hiding all of a sudden?
🪩 Tilly! Doing what she does best: Talk. She‘s amazing.
🪩 T‘Rina rocks. Saru doesn‘t know what hit him. 😆
🪩 I like Kalzara Bix. She seems like a pretty cool person.
🪩 Slug-o-Cola! Yuck!
🪩 Tilly‘s great with Rayner, and Rayner‘s cool too. He listens. And seems to think about what she says too.
🪩 Culber starting to struggle again. Didn‘t we have that before, in season 2?
🪩 LOVE Michael doing the Vulcan meditation!
🪩 Uh oh! Moll has breached Trill‘s apparently not so great security and planted a bug on Adira...

#StarTrek #LetsFlyThroughSeason5 #StarTrekDiscovery #CelebrateDiscoRewatch #CelebrateDisco2024

For this episode I have a really short list. 😆 (I have the longest list for episode one.)

E02 Under the Twin Moons

🪩 Michael not wanting to harm Rayner is showing who she is. ❤️
🪩 I‘m so glad Tilly is back on the Discovery too! Her funny remarks are so great to have around.
🪩 Hugh! ❤️ He‘s so good for Book.
🪩 And Saru is good for Michael.
🪩 I love the stone hand and head in the woods. Right out of a treasure hunt adventure film.
🪩 Action Saru!! Damn!!
🪩 Book has found his purpose when he found out who Moll is.
🪩 I love Saru‘s quarters. 🌿🌺
🪩 Love Rayner zipping his jacket shut and the hint of the Trek fanfare when he said yes.

#StarTrek #LetsFlyThroughSeason5 #StarTrekDiscovery #CelebrateDiscoRewatch #CelebrateDisco2024

This is a long ass list for just one episode. I used up all the characters I have for this. 😆

E01 Red Directive

🪩 Have we ever seen a warp bubble from the outside? That‘s looking cool!
🪩 I want that cocktail! 🍸
🪩 T‘Rina is funny, and confusing Saru with her logic and Vulcan kind of encouragement.
🪩 First thing that popped into my mind upon seeing the infinity room: The Matrix!
🪩 Red Directive what dis?
🪩 Poor DISCO crew has to stop partying for some mysterious mission.
🪩 I love a good bridge gets ready for departure scene.
🪩 Daft Punk on a mission. 😇
🪩 Ooooh, transparent guy? What‘s up with him? Is that a hint?
🪩 Interesting dynamics between Moll and L‘ak. She seems to be the driving force, and he seems to have reservations.
🪩 Kovich doesn‘t care if people get killed… 😳 What is on that ship???
🪩 A dead Romulan in his cool maxi shoulder pad uniform! I always loved that look.
🪩 Michael having fun in a space suit. 😃
🪩 Enter Captain Rayner. Whooo!
🪩 I love Gallo‘s hair. I need to call my hairdresser.
🪩 Greatest entering the bridge ever! Michael Burnham, badass!!
🪩 Michael always has an idea, even if it hurts.
🪩 Book!!! But Michael‘s look is not good. Book is looking more excited.
🪩 Ensign Tribble is back! I find it funny seeing it fall off the wall.
🪩 I LOVE Michael and Book talking Courier!
🪩 Michael seems very insecure about her relationship with Book at this moment. And Book follows her lead instead of being clear about his feelings. I think he‘s much more secure in where he stands (wanting to be with her), but he loves her too much to do anything she doesn‘t want. 🫠💔
🪩 Kovich is „not at liberty to share details“… Who is he and who is his superior?
🪩 Fred?
🪩 That exchange between Tilly and the very handsome guy was just cute. Cute! I love everything about his behaviour. 😍 I hope we will see him again in Academy.
🪩 Ah! There‘s the problem…
🪩 „I love the feeling of interrupting something.“ That grumpy look. I love Rayner already. 🤣 Poor guy totally being the third wheel here.
🪩 How long did it take for Book to arrive on Discovery, sorting everything out, and them getting to Q‘mau. Must have been really quick if Moll and L‘ak only just arrived there too.
🪩 Fred!!
🪩 Self sealing stembolts! ❤️
🪩 Out of sync Book and Michael is sad to see.
🪩 Vance is the best! 😍
🪩 Oooh, Dr. Vellek‘s journal must not fall into the wrong hands… treasure hunt!
🪩 Love the split screen between Rayner, Michael, and Book. 😆
🪩 Book is scared for Michael. 😭
🪩 Whoooo! Discovery and Antares blocking the rubble is an amazing move.
🪩 Book totally following Michael‘s lead. 😭 He doesn‘t want to break up, but she‘s running away. 😭
🪩 T‘Rina proposing to Saru!! 😭
🪩 Michael‘s not loosing a second. She‘s so into that mission she can‘t be bothered to stop to get cleaned up.
🪩 That is… that is… that is... 😲 OMG! It is!!!
🪩 Let‘s fly!
