Ok i think we have our galactic evil for the show now. That was Star Trek at its best. 

Something so old and evil that even Pelia was shitting her pants about it (when she wasn’t looking for camera time with Beto)

I wonder if these are the first actual encounter with the Pah-wraiths? A lot of parallels here, including how they're imprisoned. Food for thought, anyway.

Whatever they are, they seem to be mortal enemies of the Gorn. The Gorn appeared to be bred to fight them

Loved seeing that immediate visceral reaction from Captain Batel.

I will say one thing about this show is I could totally do without the relationship drama. I do not care at all.

That is what soured me on Discovery. Hopefully SNw keeps it at a tolerable level.

People are gonna fuck but it doesnt have to be a major plotline. Not waht star trek is about.

The thing is, it hasn't dominated too many episodes.

This week - A 60 second convo between La'An and Chapel about Spock and then what, 30 seconds of Uhura and Beto flirting? 

Meh.  Star Trek has always been pretty horny.

It's more than that, almost the whole episode revolved around 3 pairs of people that range from full on couple to flirty will they won't they kids, with a jilted ex love dynamic cherry on top. It's just unnecessary and actually kind of lazy because you don't need sexual/relationship tension to build interpersonal dynamics. 

It's basically the only gripe I have with the show. Sure, Trek has always had horny shit but intermixed among plenty of complex character relationships that don't involve romance.

Plus shippers kept the damn franchise alive

Romance (and sex) has always been a part of Trek. 

I'm still convinced Voyager was having massive holodeck orgies, considering their circumstances.
