Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious 800-year-old Romulan vessel; until the artifact hidden inside is stolen, leading to an epic chase. Meanwhile, Saru is offered the position of a lifetime, and Tilly’s efforts to help pull her into a tangled web of secrecy.

I just realized that an 800 year-old Romulan vessel would place its origin in the 2390s...

[–] ieightpi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What happened in the 2390s?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago

That setting is the rough timeframe that precedes the first season of "Picard," with the Romulan supernova, the attack on Mars, and various other events of that nature being relatively recent history.

[–] halm@leminal.space 11 points 11 months ago

Sounds like the Trekkiest Disco season synopsis since 2019. Glad to hear Tilly hasn't entirely retired to teaching duty!

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Trek Central has also provided a picture of what is probably the Romulan ship described in the synopsis.

A green Romulan vessel in orbit of a planet, surrounded by what appears to be debris.

Also, TrekCore has compiled some shots of what appears to the be interior:

Looks like the scout ship from TNG.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 0 points 11 months ago

Agreed - its shape is nearly identical.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (6 children)

Aside from stamets, this show has the least likeable principal cast of a star trek show I've seen. Burnham is so blegh. And Tilly is annoying as hell imo.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think Tilly was a very well written character, especially in the beginning. Not much experience, friendly but awkward. Very human unlike the big heroic captains. But I agree, Burnham is the most unlikeable main character in Star Trek. I also find Georgeou and Booker annoying and Saru was cool in the beginning (especially when there was still a wow factor for the visual work) but he also wasn’t faring too well lately. Most of the rest of the cast is okay at least and Jason Isaacs and Anson Mount were highlights in seasons 1 and 2 respectively.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What bothered me most about Tilly is how fast her rise from nobody to officer went. Way faster than her personality. She could make a great officer in ten years, not two.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Similar to how Burnham made Captain even though she was demoted…

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You've been demoted and you break all the rules! Here's a starship!

[–] Damage@feddit.it 5 points 11 months ago

I liked the weird engineering lady and Saru

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

That's funny. I feel the same way, except that it's Tilly that I care about and no one else.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, but what do you like about it?

Why do so many people go online and think it's suddenly normal human behavior to walk into a room griping about something?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I mean it's a bad show overall. And a terrible star trek show. I tried to like it but I really don't. I like a couple of characters in it, but nothing else beyond that. I love Strange New worlds though, that one shows they were listening to the complaints.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I stopped after season 2. It was the only Star Trek show ever I disliked. Is it worth it to revisit or has it been more of the same?

[–] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It got even worse in my opinion.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

Temper your expectations and it's perfectly enjoyable.

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's just about when it got a bit more watchable.

So basically Crisis Point II?
