[morns-fevered-dream]

due to a current boycott of Paramount and Paramount+ I'm watching this from a pirate cove and I'd encourage you to do the same and without further ado live blogging of Star Trek Discovery and as always 🌟SPOILERS🌟

Season 5 Episode 8

I got a prediction that Moll is going to kill the Primarch which would suck because I'm liking Ruhn as a villain

Well this Breen Asrisar seems respectful

I'm liking the Breen as main antagonists I wasn't sure before but they are being presented in a very interesting way

Why did the Breen lieutenant Asrisar sound like Booker for a second hold up

Oh she's spilling the primordial beans so to speak to the Breen

"Of course that's what we all want" says the Primarch Ruhn who clearly doesn't want that

I like the Breen looking around like did you just hear that

That looks like the Kataan Probe

Damn how is are yall this unprepared for the badlands they are called the badlands for Q sake

Okay there's Booker he's not on Breen ship undercover I was convinced for a second

The archive has cool background alien one of which I can almost identify but can't

The head archivist lady is Efrosian which is cool

"A book vist me in the library" ok that made me laugh but that's because I find terrible puns funny

Ok the Kwejian scene was heart warming

OMG Michael

She was laid out like a murder victim in a Murder Mystery after the lights flicker on and off

What is Booker doing dressed like that I'm thinking a prophets like faces of people you know talking to you think from a mysterious thing she touched

I like fake sassy Booker

Ok Primarch Ruhn isn't very smart I thought because the archive has dealing with the Breen the Ruhn would have a little more patience and the archive would be a little more chill but the archive means business I see

It keeps cutting to Lieutenant Asrisar why do I feel like something important is about to happen

Is the archive even bigger then the Breen Dreadnought this is the season of huge things

How is 32nd century Discovery doing so terribly in the badlands even 23rd century ships were able to handle the badlands

Damn this is a heavy scene Sonequa Martin-Green Is a really good actor and Burnham is such a great character

Ruhn isn't making good decisions

Well their goes Primarch Ruhn a fun but scary villain

There is no way Moll is going to lead this group of Breen like some sort of chosen one type stuff

Damn the Breen being lead by human

A pretty somber episode with really good parts this season has been really enjoyable

DARLA: (indicating Liam, brawling at a tavern) Who is *he*? MAID: Who, that one? (Angel takes a drink from his mug of ale and goes back to fighting.) DARLA: Yes. He's magnificent. MAID: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah, God's gift, alright. DARLA: Really? I've never known God to be so generous. MAID: Oh, his lies sound pretty when the stars are out. But he forgets every promise he's made when the sun comes up again. DARLA: That wouldn't really be a problem for me actually.
