Discovery 3x02 - "Far From Home"

[lizbee]

Bit late this week, sorry -- for some reason moving house has really impacted my fannish work. I need to reassess my priorities.

* I really don't like seeing bridge crew get hurt, and then there's seemingly nobody on hand to replace them. (Also, is she traumatized or now connected to the ship somehow? Is the ship getting a storyline? I would be EXCITE.)
* speaking of seemingly irreplaceable people who are injured, why was Stamets
in that tiny shaft doing the seemingly basic-ass repair?? I am not amused or impressed, the ship's repair hinges on it, and he's stubbornly dragging himself in there? :/ We would have had equally amusing banter if both injured parties stayed outside and bitched from the sidelines.
* Saru being such a supportive Captain, my heart! Tilly being an excellent first impression *melts into a puddle*
* THE KNITWEAR. Like, we better spy Tilly snuggling in this stuff in her quarters at some point. COMFY.
* When they were talking about how they knew Starfleet would come to help them, I thought "ooooh Michael's been busy :DDD" (There being a time skip was pretty much spoiled by Michael's grown out hair in the promo poster.)
* That death was unneccessarily cruel and drawn out :(
* Giorgeou being here to sass and fuck shit up, but also very focused on finding Michael. Right this instant.
* I hope the ice crawled up that guy's butthole and murdered him most uncomfortably. I really really do. You don't talk to Tilly like that.
* Yay they're reunited! Now everyone can get quality time with Grudge, Grudge for Therapy Cat!! Next time someone needs medical treatment, put cat on top of them. Now they can't get up, this is facts.

OMG! Stamets doing that repair made me so dang mad. Not just the fact that he could get hurt even more but also that he could extend the repair time putting everyone at risk. I don't know if they wanted to remind us that Stamets has engineering knowledge or what but I wanted to choke him, which is counterproductive.

All he did is remove a part from the panel and replace it with another one, too, and had to be directed on how to do it. How was he needed up there?

He wasn't, I think was the point! He was just doing the "I'm not going to stay in bed, I want to be useful!" routine and being a stubborn dumbass about it, and as much as I winced at how much he was hurting himself unnecessarily, I enjoyed the episode (via Jett) calling him out on it. A lot of times the hero does something like that and is lauded for their rash actions saving the day, and this time it was just like...no, you doofus. Send someone who hasn't just been stabbed in the gut up the Jeffries tube! You have a bunch of them! Geez.

I honestly cannot remember where they were going with Detmer in the other episodes, but I am truly worried about her. She did such a good job showing that she was not alright.

Personally I also loved the knitwear, so textural.

Thank you for the bonus art prompt!

And thank you for replying so I got to read all the comments again ;D

I am definitely planning to go back to all your posts and commenting because I didn't read them when they came out.
