Jammy

To be fair, the Admiral bloke did slip in that the Romulans had reunified with the Vulcans literally five minutes before Discovery went off to do some key diplomacy - what more do you need ?

Hunted was alright, and Possum is worth a watch, both on Shudder.

Yep, agreed. Worth persevering with for a while I think.

Agreed - he was a passenger for his final year from Jan 2019 to Jan 2020. Between him and a half-fit Kane we more or less played the CL Final with nine men. No game time at Inter, so impossible to judge whether the Eriksen who assisted, scored, and ran his socks off for Spurs back in the day still exists. As for Winks, is the problem that now he’s finally back in the first team, he’s too scared to try risky stuff after José subbed and publicly bollocked Dele Alli when he gave the ball away trying a fancy flick ? He did the same to Joe Cole when he first went to Chelsea

I remember him from Naked Video, did a stellar Sean Connery iirc. RIP

I feel like there’s a good player in Winks if he would just take a few more chances with his passing.

Enjoyed that .

Nice goal from Tanguy

It was straight choice between this and “This is the power of math, people !”

Preference is a bingefest, but if it’s something I’m really enjoying I guess I’m ok with week by week because I know I’ll go back to it. I did like knowing that at one point I had The Boys, or latterly Mando+Taskmaster, to watch on a Friday night. Less so Discovery ! If it’s something I’ve started and it’s not brilliant but I want to finish it I’m happier bingeing because I can get it out of the way.

Yup - needed Dele on at the end.

Gah - knew we were going to rue those missed chances. Still 15 minutes to play though.

Anyone watching ? That Kane goal was a carbon copy of 50% of my goals on Sensible Soccer !

You really have to give a lot of credit to that writing pool on the older shows. The TNG episode Lower Decks - a group we haven’t met before except for Ensign Sito for about 15 minutes in an academy episode, and yet at the end of that 45 minutes I had more of a connection with them than I have with the Disco crew after 3 seasons.

There’s no downtime on the show dedicated to getting to know anything about the characters. If you think of the series regulars in DS9, TNG, Voyager and even Enterprise, see how many you can remember firstly a surname and then a first name. Then try it with Discovery. In all those older shows, despite largely being an ‘enemy of the week’ format, they always had a scene in Ten Forward, Quark’s, at Archer’s dinner table, or in Neelix’s mess hall, or any of the Doctors’ medical bays, where a bit of character exposition went on and you got to know a bit more about the crew mem
