Those forest scenes look like the Escarpment, just west of Milton lol.

They were filmed in Toronto. It is probable they also got their outdoor shots around the GTA area.

This was quite a good episode. Also, it showed off more of the capabilities of Saru's race other than a generic alien with a weird head.

I vote not dead and with Lorca saving her I think she owes it to him to not "out" him as unstable.

If Tyler is Voq, it wouldn't have been straight plastic surgery as in this past episode, he's in sickbay and a screen shows his internal organs. I would assume if he had Klingon organs, it would show there.

Image

This Tyler is Voq thing could all be a red herring. Or it's true and Voq did some full body transfer or even a mind merge with the real Ash Tyler. With L'Rell seemingly looking to defect and pushing Admiral Cornwell to get onto the Discovery, L'Rell and Voq may have planned to take down Kol by siding with the Federation. They could have planned to unite the Klingons this way but as they interact with Burhnam and Cornwell, they start understanding the Federation.

Sadly I think it's true

I don't know how they're going to explain it but at the very least it's likely they're played by the same actor (maybe that's the real reason for the radical Klingon redesign)

Like Into Darkness you can't keep secrets from monomaniacally analytical Trekkies (or you got up your misdirection/obfuscation game)

Ironically I think I would have loved that twist if the creatives covered their tracks with much more diligence

If Tyler is Voq?! There is no way they can expect us to believe that by Voq merely spending time on the Shinzu and accessing whatever earth database was left standing he could convincingly have the accent, mannerisms, familiarity with Starfleet that Tyler does. And Klingons having the ability to take over an alien species body and mind to such an extent seems totally inconsistent with the Klingons of the future we've seen. If they take it there it would be so ridiculous to me I'd give up on watching the show.

I was satisfied with the last episode of the year
Arguably it was a little pandering but I was susceptible
I don't think Burnham should've been a match for Kol
IIRC Canadian actress Wendy Crewson claimed she was cast but now I'm thinking she was supposed to play Cornwell and got recast

I just watched up to the fifth(maybe 6th) episode, which ever has the swear in it. This isn't star trek. It's not bad Science fiction though. I fear it is losing steam though. Will watch a bit more.

I found the fight scene odd as well. At least Burnham was getting beat but I guess they should have shown Kol toying with her more. I mean, he's trying to be the supreme leader of a warrior race, you'd think he'd be one of, if not the best fighter they have.

So maybe Tyler was brain washed possibly during his torture? Something must've been implanted in his mind that'll be triggered in the future


and also... Mirror-verse time? looks like they ended up in a place where starfleet destroyed the klingons?

Looking like L'Rell might have implanted Voq into Tyler.

The Terran Empire certainly kicked assed in the Mirror-verse.

Hmm time for them to capture some nice technology to bring back home for the fight. And they only have 4-5 more eps to do that.

Sadly I predict they'll be the "hunted" as well with the terran empire wanting the spore drive for their conquest as well. Episodes will probably concentrate on getting home.

The scene of the chamber holding Lt. Stamets froze, just like the on the other ship when they found it adrift - what's the theory to that?

Work on the second season has started, will air early 2019.




Even though work on the second season is about to get stated, don’t expect to watch the second season until some time early in 2019. Alex Kurtzman has already said he’d like to make sure the second season gets the time it needs, learning from mistakes made during the first season’s production.

Don't see how they can expect people to keep their CBS subscriptions if the wait is 1 year or more. There will be significant cancellations. They are better off if they spread out the episodes more to give them more time to work on them.
