I think we were about to start "sukal" or "socal" or "suckle" or w/e
XDD
OH MY GOD CBS STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME REWATCH S2 E13
FFFFS
I am paused at 00;00 XD
open and ready!
ready! Unpause?
then press play 
done!
whee previously
wheeee
isssa
(I do like Saru more. Season 1 I just remember finding him really confusing.)
btw, the viewscreens of The Future are sure a lot less reliable than the old ones
they really are
weird and pop up
and agreed re saru
like there's way more static and breaking up and
STILL WEIRD EVERYONE WAS LIKE 'LET'S DRINK TO THAT LADY'
....they're STILL doing it?
X3
oh hi gray
oh hey grey
omg
very cute stamets
though I'd stick around so she doesn't look like she's talking to herself
honey maybe let him finish his sentence
I was kinda right about his issue, I guess
yeah
points for you!
....HOW is someone alive?
I mean there's no reason to think it's her
child????
..........sure okay
but uh
you know what, never mind
oh shit
I guess
i don't know enough about kelpien babies, maybe it's fine but just in need lol
you know, I do think there's usually one "pilot" on these ships but it's very weird to me
bye booker
hope you don't die
it'd be kind of a delayed reaction to your character development but!!
grudge too!
oh no grudge
I like his ship's ability to morh
*morph
I guess his ship CAN'T take the heat
kinda sounds like you're not fine!
................okay
yeeep
what the fuck was that
but he's fine!
ok then
it's like they just inserted some narration over random unrelated footage
yuup
I MEAN i'm surprised we haven't seen more obvious covid issues with filming this show
What makes you say tht, Michael?
and y, same
though I think a LOT of it was filmed before covid
but not all
oh wow
Filming on the season officially wrapped in Toronto on February 24, 2020,[70] 10 days before lockdowns began due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
they JUST got in
like right under the wire
that planet looks like it's falling apart
oh jeez
I have to assme the static is so we don't think it's a erson there
bc it doesn't look very holographic
yeah, I'm sure that's the plan, it's just. It's so obviously inferior to a flat stable screen lol
in season 1, the holo-screens were faded a bit
ut man, without the static this looks like he's there
I have like, nostalgic fondness for the very silly star wars holograms
....saru, you're kind of a terrible captain this ep
ad yess
ADORABLE
<3
I already believe them more as a couple
also NO SHIT, MICHAEL
aw, paul
DAMMIT, HUGH, THINK OF YOUR DAUGHTER
....did you guys ADOPT her or something
lmao
gonna yikes again at the idea of this baby being alone for Decades
RIGHT
more than THAT, given the burn was HUNDRED YEARS AGO
like how could the baby have fed themselves
someone else had to have survived at least a little while
oh tilly
sheesh tilly, don't jinx us
fff
THIS IS CUTE but this detail about the captain's chair is just so very typical of this show's reverse chekov's gunning
yuuup
this is a bad plan whee
Four hours seems...like not a long enough time
lol at the sound effect coinciding with the wink
lool
no
nope
objection
....h
these are not radiation suits
uh, why did...the clothes change
it's also not what they were wearing
O_O
.......
welp
OH HI DOUG JONES
y'all are lucky it went for humanoid species that mostly like, walk the same way
also culber has an earring
what would provide him with appropriate religious paraphernalia
holograms, apparently
uhhhhh
I have so many ????
SAME
no, human bodies don't respond negatively to heights
if you weren't afraid of heights before you'd be fine
what's thatthing in the sky
I just feel like the makeup and costume department wanted to have fun
.....saru, why are you assuming he knows wtf you're on about
and oh yes
...man, this dude is decades old, but he's def child-like
....this feels like a trap
again, A and B plot too intense
yuup
"skip-skip-skip" is great and idk why
also, and this is pretty shallow of me I realize, but human saru is kind of hot
monster = child, yes? yes
I'm not sure
Maybe
he and the older humanoid shared this trait of not being static-y like other holograms so
idk
maybe two halves of a whole?
this is....a 3 part ep, so I'm sure we won't find out THIS ep
oh shit osyrra tricked them
the fuck is a transwarp tunnel
it's a way of travel voyager invented
it's faster than warp, but harsher and can break a ship apart
whee
can you do it with no dilithium
yes, it uses some other thing
ah ok
the borg use it too
a prev episode said the transwarp conduits are so full of debris that no one would use it unless they had to
lol michael
this is kind of cute
aw
weird, but cute
she's trying!
she IS
in a way he'd grasp wihout panic
I bet doug jones was super glad to wear no makeup for an ep
aw, that's a great name
awww his mom made this
<3
ok, so clearly there were other survivors for a bit
eep
uh oh
....saru, you...need to get it together
get your shit together, captain
I realize they don't know wtf is going on on the ship, but they are aware they've only got FOUR HOURS
yeah
this is kind of silly, gotta say
I'm not UNINTERESTED in the worldbuilding we're getting but from a character standpoint......
not much dev
well that too X3
but I meant, like.
I know it isn't ideal and would be traumatic but y'all are dying
grab him by the arm and teleport out
right??
damn tilly
....man, maybe she DID learn from georgio
X3
why did osyraa come here with just one ship, is my main question
why not jump away and come back in 2 hours?
.....what the HELL
GO BOOK
I mean, he's VERY much going to die
I hope Adira's idea works
Me too
wht ia HAPPENING
like 2 minutes of exposure to all of that was making him sick to the point of potentially being useless inside the ship
like it would crash bc he was unconscious on the floor
I hope it works, but y
presumably what's happening is The Burn Pt 2?
I /guess/
s'my guess
did...the CHILD cause the burn??
"Wefound each other" lol
Tilly is a lot of fun to watch right now
she IS
she's very kill....DAMN GIRL
even the crew is like
"YOU WHAT NOW"
o dhit
uh
UH
you....really should've run earlier
uh
uhhh
I mean when you're a child, it doesn't take much
IF YOU SAYS SO CULBER
everything that's ever happened to you is the worst or best thing in your whole life
yeah I think what he said was ridiculous
but I'm accepting it lol
gdi culber stop dying
please don't die guys
"what is a radiation suit" - this show apparently
damn adira, you're brave
lol right
well
I....def wanna watch the next one, that's for sure
X33
but for the record you definitely didn't need to personally deliver pills
oh cool
lol right
that's great
oh no
damn tilly is a great captain, though. even if this happened
ye
she did a good job of acting the part
she probably should've jumped earlier but
she did
I mean, this whole tentacle bullshit isn't something they really anticipated
whee next
I mean, how could you?
X3
letting it autoplay btw
autoplaying as well, at the prevs!
not yet for me
oh hey, is this dude in this ep
it hasn't actually jumped to next yet
/pauses at :19
lmk!
ok now i am on the ep
10 seconds
5 seconds
now!
wha....
man I don't remember much of anything about that episode lol
me either
so, here's a question
why would osyraa leave
the planet was full of dilithium
idk man
I like that adira was smart enough to know to put the meds in her mouth so they didn't holovanish
like you're in that much of a hurry to destroy starfleet?
you can't be bothered to grab all that fuel?
oh is that what that was X3
yyy
I think you have to mine the fuel
I guess this sort of explains it
,....how do they not see this is a trap
but honestly is the federation even this much of a threat in this universe
fffffff
Apparently!
can't delete her favorite movie
hide, sphere data, hide!
hey, it's that guy
also "you don't need to keep any other hostages" I think would.......................... result in them just shooting your friends
yeeeah
like, where's the rest of the crew
alive, I guess
TRANSFORMERS, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE
his ship really is a transformer lol
grudgeeee
I love her
grudge D:
I MEAN SHE MUST BE FINE BUT
holy shit, that was very action movie
yhe
*ye
it's still super funny to see this guy playing a gangster
when i'm most familiar with him as a suburban house husband
It is
lol yes
why does she want everyone alive o_O
....hey I know this actor
It's the actor who played ash's baby
....
welp
I'm glad they found a new role for the actor bc he was worried about his careeer
bc he has ALS (that wheelchair is real)
I mean, I wish it wasn't Evil Science Guy
but maybe he'll turn out to be good
well, he definitely seems to be a well-intentioned guy at least
indeed
y'all don't have time for this kiss
"You talk in your sleep" aw
but yes, no time for this
X3
...all questions, vance, you should've asked before
why ARE you keeping them all alive
like, i appreciate it but
like, not one dead hostage? why?
is her plot NOT destroy starfleet
it would be a fun reveal!
it would
ouuuuch
she still murdered her nephew in cold blood tho
true
Iwould not have pulled that knife out, btw
isn't that what they say?
not to do, I mean
uhhh I think it depends
there are definitely some things that you should not pull out
ahhh
so she's letting most of the crew go?
OW
by distant future i assume she means, death
I think so
I expect
in part 3, the vulcans show up to save the day
bc of the message
Prediction not spoiler
......lol ok
the tapping
all they're saying is
"keep tapping"
nicely done
love it
oh ha, that was def on purpose
.....who the hell is Miss 'Dr Culber Said No One WOuld Survive Past Four Hours"
don't give me a new character in the second to last ep of the season
X333
....w....haaaaaaaaat
WHAT A WEIRD WAY TO DO IT
OO
O_O
took me a sec to realize he meant the piercings and not like
you know
giving birth
"I have one myself" and lol yes
so he does consider adira his child, then
X3
Man, this dude does not want to hurt anyone
I accidentally read your plurk about it a while back
(don't apologize, it was very much 'dead dove don't eat' and then i opene d it anyway)
<3
I did put a 'don't read' note, ust in case!
yep! it could not have been clearer that it was spoilers
but y, that was a thing I was spoiled for lol
I don't know why I keep doing that. Maybe some part of me hopes it'll be a spoiler I already know??? But why do I risk it X333
XD
I do it sometimes too, so
HUMANS, we're weird
Some shows I care about spoilers, some I don't. It's weird
.......are there shells on that plate
......I'm sorry, vance
what
that sure is a jk rowling worthy reveal lol
It must be a future thing, I feel like....they've said it's not SHIT before
"oh well if you're willing to MAYBE abolish slavery"
that's a very low bar vance
fffs
pizazz has been trying to get into the bathroom with me for a while now, but ofc she doesn't actually want to be in the bathroom
she just wants all the doors open
awww
IT'S WARM OK
lso i need to shower
oh no she needs dinner
oh nooo
do you need to pause?
definitely not a bad guy
I get why he trusts osyrra y
also hi back
HI
oh no
oh nooo he didn't know
oh no
I don't think he knew this stuff
aw be kinder to yourself dude
you had a lot of trauma
right?
well, good job michael
now he's gonna jump for sure
Poor Paul, though
jesus
oh man
"I want the Federation to join the Chain" uh
why?
I assume it was like
bad phrasing
join WITH rather than JOIN
but
you JOIN the federation
so it's a weird mistake to make
It was
.........so the idea here is that she didn't KNOW there was dilithium there
that's weird
It IS
Nooooooooooo Rin 
oh shit
well that really sucks
yeaah
oh they got him, thank god
she could've gotten onto a shuttle or something with him and they could've gone, but
yeaaah
......
fff
lol at the leader having gold eyes X3
looool
that was cool
I CAN watch the next if you want to, but I have to run to bathroom real quick first
next episode is the last one
rude
ye
do that
I shall return shortly!
o/
back!
I am paused at 0:00 on finale, ready when you are
ok
let's do this thing!!
/unpauses
/also
also unpauses, sorry
am watching
OH! <3
<3
man if I was Stamets I would not forgive her for that
Me either
a gormogander, ok
I mean it's a SPECIES
i assume not sentient
I don't think so, n
it's not ignominious
it's not like it made a lot of bad choices and that's why it's endangered
no, I think they were hunted
how are you honestly supposed to convince him you're kelpian
right?
just take the medicine you fools
ffff
oh!
!!!
....oh shit
they can see him
awww
look at that happy smile
and now all the feelings
awwww
he's so happy
;u;
I wonder if they can use this to make him a way to be seen on disco
they need to take this tech with them
ye
yes
haha he said voyager and my brain went 'wait what now'
;;; poor paul
Vance, shut up
Poor Paul :/
okay I should be fairer, he has no way of knowing what Paul is sacrificing
....I was right!
the vulcans and romulans came
interesting
<3
I guess...her mom sent them?
:>
yay mom
yaay ni'var though
lol that expression on sokal's face
:<
su'kal, I think
I think you might be right
but i mean this as the LEAST criticism 
I have subs on >.>
oh man
oh man :/
well, at least he didn't panic
baby we don't have time
like I get it! he wants to face his monster before he goes! but
yeaaah
fffffffff
WELP
....damn, michael
AT THIS POINT I AM GNEUINELY AFRAID OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR MINOR CHARACTERS
PART OF MY BRAIN JUST WENT 'WELL, OWO'S DEAD'
right??
.....what, michael
WHAT
seriously who is this person
.....who is this new person
It's not nillson!
Wiki says "Lt Ina"
apparently, the actress used to play 
this character
this character
yay a thing for grey to do!
oh shit, that ship is falling apart
.....soyeah, owo's dying isn't she
.....
how exciting
;;;;
Did the sphere data save her
maybe?!
hard to be sure yet
the sphere data picked such cute little robots to be in
I am immediately more attached to it than I was to Sexy Siri
I KNOW
LEAVE GRUDGE OUT OF THIS YOU DICK
"she's a queen"
jflkjdfls
<3 <3
he's gonna say it
HAHA
....oh my GOD
uh
Did....michael just BADASS HER WAY out of that? HOW?
that's a big gun
I am NOT excited by the way
well that's the wrong word
I'm more confused
IF I WAS IN THIS UNIVERSE, I WOULD NOT BE EXCITED BY WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE EMERALD CHAIN NOW
will ANYTHING?
bc she was awful but she was a Strong(wo)man leader
I mean, she was the leader, it didn't seem like it was a coalition
am concerned about the possibility of like
violent disorganized groups
ohhh
;;;;
I KNOW IT'S JUST A LITTLE ROBOT BUT
.....well, the shere data can't be dead
it was only one of them
there were at least three!
because....she's not in a few years
oh good
oh good
I'm sure they share data
yeah, random lady we've never seen before, you did it
fff
Tilly you did a great job
you're gonna need lots of hugs after this
she DID
so many
"IF it helps that's an order" lol
.....wait
.....
man this isn't cool
did I call that Booker could communicate with the spores? I...was kidding, show
X3
it was mentioned a few times
that statmets "isn't!!!!" an empath
I mean, it gives Paul a break sometimes
I'm more concerned because
And book a reason to stay
but still
like, narratively
it's pretty unfair to paul that he can't come rescue his husband
It is
and their apparently adopted kid(s)
but I don't think they have time to go and get him
or the ability
nah, I don't think like it's a bad decision on Michael's part
I think it's a thoughtless choice by the writers
It is, yeah
Man, poor grey
I feel so bad for him
ye
....
all those body bags
no wonder that kid panicked
heh
jfc that poor baby
also, like, poor the rest of the galaxy
and there's that bun y
*burn
.....uh, ok then book
aww
AWWWW little family
oh wow, he is rightfully mad at her
Awww they fixed the dots
...........k, so
captain michael, first officer tilly????
I'd be worried about this if I didn't know Doug Jones was still on the show next season after a quick google lol
apparently they were REAL concerned people would be mad he was leaving
...hey it's that dude
....what is this story, vance
ffff
HAS ANYONE IN HISTORY BEEN AS LIKE. COURT MARSHALLED AS MICHAEL
no
lol
I feel like Kirk would admire her gumption but even he was not this much of a wild card X3333
right??
man I bet she's why spock liked kirk so much, though
both reckless
X33
very cute retcon right there
oh new uniforms
oh man I didn't even notice
they're grey now
ye
well the blue was very Babylon 5
everyone's all happy and paul's like "I seriously hate you"
I missed his proper reaction so I'm gonna have to rewind
but enjoying the music rn
hey, she already has her captain catchphrase
y, me too
I will say this
I am actually kind of curious as to what a season of Michael The Captain will be like
aw that's a nice roddenberry quote
It IS
FFFFFF
this is the literal stots ending music
RIGHT DOWN TO THE WEIRD SINGING
It is!!
the fuck told you i wanted to watch The Stand, CBS
It's not bad!
X3
I'm sure but c'mon man
but def not a thing to watch if you're not prepared lol
stop autoplaying random things
" Active development on season 4 began by January 2020, with more time spent writing than previous seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
rewatches picard s1e1
....I wonder if that'll mean more char dev
(it's gonna be very slow bc I am gonna finish translating this chapter)
oh jeez
awkward reason but i hope the end result is good
Discovery has spent SO LONG trying to decide what it wanted to be
which I do kind of think helped Picard start stronger, but
yyyy
"Actor Ian Alexander said he had a lot more "hands-on involvement" with Gray's storyline in the fourth season."
nice
looks like reno might not be in as much of season 4 bc the actress didn't want to travel during pandemic which
fair
YEAH
also smart
take care of yourself lady
she says she'll be there for the second half of filming in may.
if travel conditions are better
the rest of the cast I think LIVE near oraround where filming takes place
(Toronto, apparently)
apparently, they're also borrowing post production tech from that star wrs tv show
which makes me vaguely amused
I did like this finale a lot
ye
