The TV Show Thread *Possible Spoilers*

[WRXtranceformed]

Just watched first two episodes of Star Trek Discovery... wow... way better than I expected. I'd dismissed it because I assumed CBS relegated it to online only due to quality, but it's quite the opposite. This series definitely watches much more like the Trek movies than it does the previous series. It seems the trend for high production value in online series has influenced the making of this, which can be good or bad, depending on your perspective. I am personally enjoying it.

Glad you checked it out!  That's what I've been saying!  It's actually very, very well done.  I really like how they have been building up Jason Isaac's character Captain Lorka.  He is much edgier / more militaristic (due to the storyline) than a lot of the captains of the past, kind of like a troubled version of Sisko from DS9 when he fought The Dominion.

We have kept up with it every week but were bummed when they quit airing them until January.  I think I read that they already ordered the next season and possibly a third.

Vikings 2 hour season premier was epic.  I didn't think the series would hold up as well after Ragnar died but I was very wrong.  They have done a great job of developing the crazy psyche of Ivar

And not to spoil the next few episodes of Discovery but this is a super interesting theory that I definitely did not pick up on during the last episode (read after you watch the last episode): http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/11/13/s...-real-plan
