Me: I think Discovery deserves more credit for its storytelling choices, and the work it does telling new stories about characters and places we already know.

Also me:

SECRET BABY!
SECRET BABY!
IT'S A KLINGON!
SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET BABY!
YEAH!!

GODDAMMIT LIZ WHY AM I LAUGHING

[lizbee]

I ASSUME OUT OF HYSTERICAL RELIEF THAT I THOUGHT OF THIS TOO LATE TO ACTUALLY SING IT ON THE PODCAST

[sabotabby]

Did it move? Like, even once?

[lizbee]

ONCE, and you could practically hear the animatronics creak.

I'm like, on the one hand, that was a SUPER FAKE BABY. On the other hand ... I don't know, I'm just so delighted by this entire development that I'm prepared to be forgiving.

Ahahahhahahahah!

My main reaction was "tell me more about Klingon uterine replicator technology!"

Sorry I am late to the party, especially now that 2.04 is up, but I'm still not over 2.03 yet. That episode went so many places I was not expecting, like, practically to where L'rell's navel may or may not be, and the secret baby, and the summary convenient disposal of the secret baby, and setting up Section 31 for a running gag where all the recruits are Michael's exes. We had to wait until Wednesday night to watch, and I ditched everything afterwards and went straight to listen to your podcast to make sure I wasn't imagining it all, like some gothic, lurex, mushroom-induced fever-dream.
