You missed one really good Cetacean Observation: They paid a little homage to S2 & Pike. Adira tells Detmer as they walk by in their EV suits, “Fly Good”, which is verbatim the very first thing Captain Pike ever tells Detmer.
I took the replicators making steamed bananas as a nod to Lower Decks. The very first episode has Boimler working on a replicator spitting out hot bananas that burn him.
Book said Zoras name nearly a dozen times while on Discovery. Lol she’s always listening, so them being masked didn’t make sense. I did like the Easter Egg for Lower Decks with the Steamed Bananas
The difference between Control & Zora, Control was only fed threat fear/response data, it was programmed to be paranoid/calculating, always expecting the worst. Zora sees the crew interact as people, she see's their Humanity. She cares for them in a way.
You can’t tell me that the replicator making steamed Banana’s isn’t a reference to Lower Decks “Banana hot”. Also down for Jet not immediately calling security alert when she finds Tarka and giving him the chance to kidnap her.
This definitely felt like a table setting episode. Like, they needed all these characters to have reasons to be in specific places with specific things to do so when the finale hits they’re all lined up appropriately. And those episodes are always boring and never flow well. With all the dodecahedrons and weird dust I’m getting definite Kelvan vibes. Might be a red herring but…yeah.
I wasn't wild about the episode as a whole, but the mission was absolutely worth the risk - they discovered the 10C communicate chemically, which is crucial to making contact. Also they witnessed the 10C's world being destroyed much the same as Kwejian, which is a path to empathy. Also, note to the writers: Its not a Dyson Ring, its a Niven Ring. Come on guys, Niven even wrote for Star Trek.
Niven Rings! Yes! I was screaming at the screen. Also, if they're looking for 10c artifacts, wouldn't the rings, the massive massive artificial constructs in space that are themselves artifacts be a better place to look for alien stuff than a rock? Lazy, illogical writing, fuzzy, contrived plotting. Mcguffins everywhere.
@@NobbyNobody I mean, I guess? I figured the Rings to be uninhabited energy collectors, otherwise Discovery would have made a beeline for the life-signs.
@@chasethevioletsun9996 Exactly my thought at the time. You have a) a dead planet, b) rings that someone built around a star. They chose the dead planet. Huh.
At first i had the same reaction. Enough getting to the 10C, let’s meet them, already. That was my reaction to reading the plot description. But the episode brought me in and i loved it.
Missed the sneaky reference to Lower Decks, that the replicators we're throwing out "steamed bananas", like the LD scene where the broken replicator was popping out "banana hot" over and over 😄
Another Cetacean observation: the ‘steamed banana’ replicator malfunction is a call back to Lower Decks season 1 ep 1 where Boimler was trying to fix the replicator making ‘banana, hot’ !
You're right. I was watching the episode and the whole time I was wondering if they really have time for a side quest. Plus, Picard was so strong that Discovery looked pretty inferior this week.
I assume it'll come out that if they hadn't stopped at this planet they'd have no idea how to use the pheromones to communicate. a better order would have been: 1 someone detects this planet but they decide not to stop. 2 first contact goes terrible because they cant understand a thing. 3 discovery has to race back to the homeworld to gain context before book can catch up and shut the dma down by force or it effects earth. much more tension. same plot points more or less.
Could be 10C who set up the Dyson Rings, but that destroyed the life on the gas giant and the crew are going to try to make first contact with completely redundant information.
I usually agree with your ups and downs, but not this week. I thought this episode was both fantastic, and necessary. With Earth and N'ivar in the firing line they can't afford to fuck this up. Learning as much as they can about the 10C, who they are, what they're about, is critical. Going in completely ignorant would be a recipe for disaster.
I felt the problem was mostly pacing, & them standing around too relaxed. But other than that, it was totally necessary to be as well prepared as possible rather than blindly leaping into first contact with a powerful unknown, this "side quest" was totally justified, & i'm sad that fewer commenters here understood this.
They presumably work in a vacuum meaning they have their own air supply - so why wouldn't they always be sealed as such? why can't they hire a science consultant?
Whoever wrote that is a moron. They're spacesuits, not respirators for spraying paint. Completely sealed letting absolutely nothing in. How that got through production is beyond me.
1. Alien super-pheromones penetrating a 32nd century space suit was pretty hard to believe 2. With programmable matter and detachable warp nacelles, I think space suits would probably be outdated too (I'm looking at YOU, TAS personal shield belts). But it gives a great sci fi feel so this one I can overlook 3. For cetation ops, maybe a half nod to Dark Frontier where they used similar armbands to evade borg detection
I got the biggest LOL from Reno's line about replicators shooting steamed bananas. Took me right back to when Boimler was trying to fix the replicators on the Cerritos. How did you miss that?
Saru speaking so many languages would seem like a moot point when you have universal translators. And Zora should be able to translate at least as well, probably better.
They also then get the dots to go back and actually do their mission. They should have collected all the samples while there and they should have started travel before the emotional moments. These people have an emotional moment just because they are on an elevator or get coffee.
Ouch you missed a lot this week... Down for skipping over how Tarka (sp?) caught the engineer (I forget her name at the moment) got captured, because they skipped it in the episode you skipped it in your reivew? And there isn't a cetation observation for the replicator banana gag? That HAS to be a call-out for something? Ugh, and I can't remember the other thing but there was something else. ugh.
Very fair, even generous review. These season long arcs are interesting - but this one seems really, really drawn out and somewhat 'smothering' in that there is no 'B' story that carries over at all.
this is the 5th time Tarka comes up with something to improve Book's ship. that's really annoying, at least to me. and apparently Tilly just had to leave so that Adira can say all her lines now.
My problem with the scene involving Book and the General is that she is a military officer. She is trained to follow her orders, even if she disagrees personally. The military relies on this discipline. A military organization could not accomplish much if every one allowed their personal opinion to override their orders.
Not necessarily a Cetacean Observation, but when Reno was told about the steamed bananas, all I could think about was Boimler trying to fix the replicator and all it made was "Banana, Hot".
I what Star Trek to go into deep sci-fi. I mean I want an alien to look like the ones in the movie “Arrival”, or something strange and unique like that (and then don’t spoil it by having them be able to transform into humans).
First time I’ve done this with Discovery but I gave up half way through the episode. Should have done so after 5 minutes after the ridiculous slow motion walk to the shuttle bay just to transport onto the shuttle, which they could have done individually from anywhere on the ship.
Sean, this was a very fair and insightful review. You are smart and deserve the biggest helmet the Pakled planet could bestow on you. Next raktajino’s on me. 😆
I loved, that you took time to address the Ukraine topic. Actually, something like a pre or post credits statement was something I expected by Star Trek. I can understand why someone would decide not to do it, but for a show rooted in the hope that a pluralistic and democratic system will lead us into a better future for 45 years and has two shows airing just this very week such stuff happens, I have expected SOMETHING. OK, I vented enough. Another remark: I think you missed an Eastereg: To me the buttons at the replicator look very much like TOS bridge console props. Don't you think?
I would have struggled this week to give any likes. Even when the trailer was released earlier this week I felt we were in for a weak episode, that's bad when it's coming to a seasons end
I disliked the Earth General story because I was supposed to. It was the speed bump to an otherwise perfect plan. I accepted her motives and kept hoping she wouldn't do what we knew she would. It was great. Built tension.
Really bothered me the never checked out the giant dyson ring... I mean... dead planet vs dyson ring - if I had to pick one that might have a working computer for more information on the species.... why pick the planet?
Yeah if the writing made sense and had a clue what was in the line 4 lines before. But they needed to set up the fairy dust to affect their feelings. And by they I don't mean crew cut cousin IT.
Maybe the Dyson ring is just a power absorption device? One big solar panel, beaming it to the planet as a huge energy source? The Dyson Ring might have have actually housed any people.
Aww I didn't get the notification for the premier. Loved the episode, But hopefully they will actually move the plot forward by more than one step next episode.
Don't forget the Lower Decks nod to "Banana, hot.." by Boimler's malfunctioning replicator. Linus says that the replicators are only making steamed bananas.
It was an okay episode, but yes for a near-final episode it didn't give much for the plot. They only have an idea how to communicate on first contact, that's not enough, and feels like they gonna rush everything and important plot points are gone be left out or only skimmed :/ And yes, the live sign disguises are weak, PLUS Zora muss now knows that something isn't right bc a FRICKING LIVE SIGNE IS MISSING!?!! She must know that Reno isn't on board anymore! Everyone seems to have their own plan. Book vs Tarka, Tarka vs everyone, Burnham vs time, and the Earth General Ndoye has her own plans, maybe a plot with Book against Tarka?
I really wanted to like this episode and I did like parts of it, but overall I felt like all things considered the was an inexplicable lack of urgency. People were acting like they were dealing with an inconvenient airport layover, not like they were in a finite number of hours away from the annihilation of two major home systems. People, all people, should be a lot jumpier and stressed out. We don’t have time for all the time wasting. Now I will say I did enjoy the “nursery” (got Alien vibes off that BRW) and the idea of chemical communication, but like you I felt impatient. Meanwhile the whole Book / Tarka plot was lame, I agree. Zora doesn’t detect them??? Seriously? Ugh. I hope the next episode is as satisfying as this one was NOT.
I enjoyed this episode, but giving earth and nivar a bajoran day before this mission? Disco s4 has 2 episodes left. Yet watching Picard s2e1 makes me more excited, even though I prefer disco s1-3 over picard s1
Love the show, support all the team…but I was missing in Cetacean Observation the Steamed Bananas…BANANA HOT…it was a LOWER DECKS reference in DISCO! What!?
Them all getting high in the nursery is an UP??? We're on a hugely important, very urgent mission; we've figured out this magic dust makes you feel love - let's all have a go! HUGE down!

Yes I got that same idea when they mentioned steamed bananas if only they showed what that would looked like in live action.
I wasn’t the only one who got it, I see with pleasure!
I agree, a nod to STLD
I laughed out loud at Steamed Bananas for that very reason!
You did not catch the "steaming banana" as a reference to Lower Decks replicator producing "banana hot".
And I even mentioned that in the Piicard video!
Exactly. Deep cut Lower Decks reference.
I came here to say this.
For all we know hot bananas are all the rage in the future.
🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
Nobody is talking about the Lurian officer sitting in the bar who looks exactly like good old Morn always sitting in Quarks bar? :)
Sean, thanks for your efforts. Really been a big blast watching someone be excited as ST as I am
Book said Zoras name nearly a dozen times while on Discovery. Lol she’s always listening, so them being masked didn’t make sense.
I did like the Easter Egg for Lower Decks with the Steamed Bananas
She can probably see them too. I bet she's in on Booker's plan.
@@tetravega567 intersting!
I was surprised that the Steamed Bananas didn’t make Cetacean Observations too. He catches more Easter eggs than I ever do.
The difference between Control & Zora, Control was only fed threat fear/response data, it was programmed to be paranoid/calculating, always expecting the worst. Zora sees the crew interact as people, she see's their Humanity. She cares for them in a way.
@@tetravega567 Yet she must know what Book and Tarka did by now and know that they are wanted by Starfleet.
You can’t tell me that the replicator making steamed Banana’s isn’t a reference to Lower Decks “Banana hot”.
Also down for Jet not immediately calling security alert when she finds Tarka and giving him the chance to kidnap her.
This definitely felt like a table setting episode. Like, they needed all these characters to have reasons to be in specific places with specific things to do so when the finale hits they’re all lined up appropriately. And those episodes are always boring and never flow well.
With all the dodecahedrons and weird dust I’m getting definite Kelvan vibes. Might be a red herring but…yeah.
Sean, another good analysis. To me this episode fell flat when it had potential to be better. I too wished a "Down" for Tarka's kidnapping Reno.
I wasn't wild about the episode as a whole, but the mission was absolutely worth the risk - they discovered the 10C communicate chemically, which is crucial to making contact. Also they witnessed the 10C's world being destroyed much the same as Kwejian, which is a path to empathy.
Also, note to the writers: Its not a Dyson Ring, its a Niven Ring. Come on guys, Niven even wrote for Star Trek.
Niven Rings! Yes! I was screaming at the screen. Also, if they're looking for 10c artifacts, wouldn't the rings, the massive massive artificial constructs in space that are themselves artifacts be a better place to look for alien stuff than a rock?
Lazy, illogical writing, fuzzy, contrived plotting. Mcguffins everywhere.

At first i had the same reaction. Enough getting to the 10C, let’s meet them, already. That was my reaction to reading the plot description. But the episode brought me in and i loved it.
Did you miss the Steamed Bananas line, which was a call back to Lower Decks "Bananas Hot' gag?
I agree with you 100% on each Up and each Down. Excellent review.
Thank you for your brilliant video! Keep up the outstanding work my friends at Trekculture.
Missed the sneaky reference to Lower Decks, that the replicators we're throwing out "steamed bananas", like the LD scene where the broken replicator was popping out "banana hot" over and over 😄
Yes!! Such an amazing easter egg!!
It felt somewhat stretched out, this episode.
New Picard episode, was actually a whole lot more fun.
😲 Congratulations, you managed to shock me. This is the first time I've seen you give more downs than ups.
This ain't your grandma's Star Trek youtube channel
We luckily got saved by an AMAZING Picard opener this week.
Another Cetacean observation: the ‘steamed banana’ replicator malfunction is a call back to Lower Decks season 1 ep 1 where Boimler was trying to fix the replicator making ‘banana, hot’ !
More Jet Reno is always an Up!

Haven't even watched the video yet but already liked it 👍 love the ups and downs videos!!!
In a 26 episode season this would have been a solid episode
Prada's 3190 collection is on point.
Bruh, you forgot the "steamed bananas" from lower decks!
Could be 10C who set up the Dyson Rings, but that destroyed the life on the gas giant and the crew are going to try to make first contact with completely redundant information.

10:32 Detmer's development is in the same place her hostility towards Burnham that was set up was, they forgot about it.
I've read better fanfic set in season one. After all, Detmer was injured in a war Burnham started.
How did those pheromones affect the landing party who were vacuum sealed in space suits?
It's explained in the episode
this is the 5th time Tarka comes up with something to improve Book's ship. that's really annoying, at least to me.
and apparently Tilly just had to leave so that Adira can say all her lines now.
Agree. I thought Adira was wasted in this episode (and, frankly, so was Reno).
I’d rather have Tilly.
did you catch the lower decks steamed bananas bit? love the show, keep up the good work
I really appreciated the hot banana replicator glitch reference to lower decks
I really hope that 10-C is Badgie. He would make Burnham cry so hard!
My problem with the scene involving Book and the General is that she is a military officer. She is trained to follow her orders, even if she disagrees personally. The military relies on this discipline. A military organization could not accomplish much if every one allowed their personal opinion to override their orders.

*Tarka kidnaps Reno*

Morn. At bar.
Pure Cetacean observation!

OK, I vented enough. Another remark: I think you missed an Eastereg: To me the buttons at the replicator look very much like TOS bridge console props. Don't you think?
8:00 totally agree. If she didn't call because she initially couldn't, then after a conversation could and doesn't, that would be more reasonable.
i didn't understand the ending....... did Tarka kidnap Reno or did she take them both hostage?
I had fun with this episode. Though I have to admit, I skipped through the let’s-talk-about-our-feelings parts.
No Observation about the steaming bananas the replicators were making? That seemed pretty spot on reference to lower decks
I would have struggled this week to give any likes. Even when the trailer was released earlier this week I felt we were in for a weak episode, that's bad when it's coming to a seasons end
I completely agree with you on this one
I disliked the Earth General story because I was supposed to. It was the speed bump to an otherwise perfect plan. I accepted her motives and kept hoping she wouldn't do what we knew she would. It was great. Built tension.

ha ha ha....man...so glad you are doing this so I don't have to bleed my brain!....Goodness...you are so generous🤣😂
Gotta be honest, I loved this episode!! Also, love me some ups and downs. Always great
That Discovery crew just love their psychedelic's! Shroomin with enormous tardigrades & absorbing alien magic blue mood dust....good times.
The lights in their helmets also made their faces look really weird.
They have lights shining directly into their faces which would make it soo hard to see, and yet no handheld or suit mounted lights.
And the running lights were an interesting touch.
think Nivens Ring World. if you haven't read it, you're missing out.
Great review and thanks for your support during this terrible Ukraine crisis.
Really bothered me the never checked out the giant dyson ring... I mean... dead planet vs dyson ring - if I had to pick one that might have a working computer for more information on the species.... why pick the planet?
Exactly - if I had a dyson ring around my house? I'd store all my cool stuff there
Yeah if the writing made sense and had a clue what was in the line 4 lines before. But they needed to set up the fairy dust to affect their feelings. And by they I don't mean crew cut cousin IT.
Maybe the Dyson ring is just a power absorption device? One big solar panel, beaming it to the planet as a huge energy source? The Dyson Ring might have have actually housed any people.
@@anonymousscience4095 Or, y'know, powering the protective field that they can't get through.
How come you didn't see Mourn sitting at the bar at 44:53?
They're looking for info, but ignore the Dyson Rings? Really?!
Lunis tells Reno the replicators are malfunctioning and making steamed bananas is a nod to lower decks
Harsh criticism, but I agree with Sean. Good on ya for the truthful review.
Did they ever explain Detmer’s implant glitch?
I must say the last ep was nice this one i feel needed more time i feel like it got cut a bit short
Complex mood altering hydrocarbons seems like a pretty hefty reference to Naked Time/Now to me but hey what do I know?
I need a star trek channel that doesn't get tripped up on decisions made in the writing room. It's boring. -_- Any recommendations?
My question is why hasn't Detmer gotten that implant removed? A thousand years later and she somehow can't get corrective surgery to fix the damage?
What about the replicators making steamed bananas? (Lower Decks shout out right?)
Sean..... welcome to TREK THINGS....
get comfortable with it
Aww I didn't get the notification for the premier. Loved the episode, But hopefully they will actually move the plot forward by more than one step next episode.
OMG Sean, you forgot to include Raktajino in your Cetacean Observations notes! >_
Don't forget the Lower Decks nod to "Banana, hot.." by Boimler's malfunctioning replicator. Linus says that the replicators are only making steamed bananas.

I loved the pay off of chemicals and history. No panic because they are professional
If feelings, emotions, and children are the only way to talk to the 10C, then this episode as worth it. If not, whole episode down.
I enjoyed this episode, but giving earth and nivar a bajoran day before this mission?

Lurian drinking in the discovery bar.
Are 10C from Farpoint?
The up side is Disgracery doesn't exist anymore, the down side is that it was made in the first place.
Love the show, support all the team…but I was missing in Cetacean Observation the Steamed Bananas…BANANA HOT…it was a LOWER DECKS reference in DISCO! What!?
What do you mean it wasn't worth it? They found out 10-c's physiology, communication method, planetary history etc...
What about the Hot Banana joke from Lower Decks that made it into the episode?
Why would the audience ask why the captain and the first officer are going on an away mission? Has this audience never seen Star Trek before?
Great review as always...slainte mate
I don't think star fleet officers are supposed to panic. I would have gone to the planet too. I would need more information
Them all getting high in the nursery is an UP???
We're on a hugely important, very urgent mission; we've figured out this magic dust makes you feel love - let's all have a go!
