Continuity? What's that? It's a word for people who actually give a shit, that's what!

I'm liking second season now that I'm more familiar with the characters after having seen the first season.

I really like Pike.

When is STD just gonna be canceled so we can write it off as a bad fever dream of someone else? Or an awful holodeck program the way Enterprise was?

Probably not until after the current split between CBS and Paramount is reversed and Star Trek becomes the sole property of Paramount again.

The problem with real Trekkies is you give up the fight too easily. When was the last time you protested to remind them how incensed you are that they'd besmirch the memory of Kirk and co. with this 'Next Generation' ripoff? It's like the real fans don't care anymore. So why wouldn't CBS count on the same thing happening again? Sure you hate Disco now, but in 30 years you'll have gotten used to it, and be too busy complaining about Star Trek TVR and how the Exodus Engine doesn't fit into established canon.

She's kinda hammy in my opinion. I think part of it has to do with Michelle Yeoh in general. I liked her in Tomorrow Never Dies, but I'm just not getting either of her characters here. Being a mirror universe counterpart I want to see her become effective as a federation tactician or systemically manipulative within S31. I don't care to see her smug as it serves no contrast to anything we really know about her. We saw in the first episode that she had an old wise chat with Michael, but I don't think there's much distinctive about her as a captain.

Yay, S 31 are such idiots that the outsider from the Sith universe can fuck them over after they accepted him easily. It makes them look like idiots.
