New season, (mostly) same chaotic commentary, slightly different format.

#StarTrekDiscovery S4EP04 - All Is Possible.
#DemTreks

I didn't have internet access for a good chunk of the last few days. So while I was online I wasn't able to make or search for episode images the way I usually do. So this week's thread is going to be heavy on the commentary and light on the pictures.

Hopefully you still enjoy it.

If you missed last week's thread (in my usual recappy format) that can be found here.

Recap BLITZ!

I appreciate this new style we're doing with Michael's braids here. It looks much more organic than what's been happening previously.

Hold the got-damn phone I had to pause because I missed this on my first watch. IS THAT LT. INA?!

Indeed it is and she's chatting with Lt. Christopher. Oh wow did I call it or what?

My beautiful bug eyed boi is front and centre at long last.

We're still short on the quota. Don't think I'm not keeping count.

I'm rewatching this and Saru and Michael should have know this was a setup from the jump. 🤭

I like Culber's Psych office.

I love that Gray has continued to personalize their body. The hair and piercings and makeup.

It seems like forever ago that we were speculating on who Kovich is. Come to think about it, do we even know now? He's consulting but what does he do?🧐
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I like the gloves as part of Gorev's cadet uniform.

Orions are such a cartoony shade of green. The color is so even and flat. Part of me thinks it's silly, part of me enjoys it like a TOS throwback.

Protective shielding. Haven't seen that since....Voyager? I'm glad that's back even though it's not on all ships.

L class moon. Why does the environment always gotta be hostile?

I know this hall.

I KNOW THIS DINING HALL FROM SOMEWHERE.

Now I gotta pause and google.

Oh another Saurian. That's nice.

VULCAN MON MOTHMA IS ABSOLUTELY FLIRTING WITH SARU. I KNEW IT!

An exit clause. Are you out of your mind?!

Rillak says all the things that I'm about to say. Then Michael does all the things I would do and I'm glad we're all on the same page. Politicians gonna politic.

The dress uniforms are SO crispy. IDC IDC.

As much as icebreakers and team building exercises are annoying, I understand why they are necessary.

Therapy for everyone!

I'm digging this furniture.

Y'all are a cute couple. Just touch foreheads (or whatever the Vulcan/Kelpian equivalent of kissing is) already.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

This week's CGI budget was spent on creatures.

All y'all kids are bad and this bickery shit would not fly in the Academy. Honestly.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I can't really say I understand what the deal is with this ice Adira is stuck in. 🤔. So they save them and then everyone tramples over the same ice that Adira was stuck in like it's nothing?

I am confusion
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I said it once and I'll say it again, I.need to see what's popping on Deep Space 9. Or Bajor at least.

Apparently the stickler factions were the saurians and the purist Vulcans (which unfortunately does not include my best friend)
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

Maybe these are a different sect of purists.

Michael is collecting hats like Funko pops. Now joint representative for the Federation and Ni'Var? Damn girl.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

This CGI on a snow planet was a choice.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I can totally see the people of this time thinking Discovery is full of smug assholes.

I liked this little aside though.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I've been thinking for a while that Adira's character now is very much like what Tilly's character was in season one. But Tilly has yet to finds another role. So while I don't necessarily like that the character is leaving, I understand.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I'm glad Ni'Var has returned to the fold. I'm not crazy about Rillak manipulating the situation.

You go Saru, get some.
#StarTrekDiscovery

I want a closer picture of this mandala that Booker made. I feel like it would make a great animated wallpaper.

It's good to see people working through their problems.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I know we're back in this room to make a full circle point. But I don't get why Tilly would still have the same quarters as a Lieutenant that she did as a Cadet.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

I see what you're doing with the editing and Tilly Adira juxtaposition. I SEE IT.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

So there it is. Quick and dirty. Not the usual play by play but mostly random thoughts I had throughout the episode.

What did you think of the episode?
What did you think of this different thread format? As always feedback is welcome.
#StarTrekDiscovery
#DemTreks

Once again, if you made it this far down thread you should probably follow me. If you like what I have to say you should also follow @BlackAlertPod where my friends and I talk about Star Trek.

Again I apologize for the delay in posting. You can't do much these days without internet access. 🤷🏿‍♀️ But thanks for coming around and reading the thread anyway.
