DISCOVERY s4e9 "Rubicon"
🕑 Added 2022-08-11 02:54:14 +0000 UTCBuckle up, crew! Matt's A/C is down (not just when he turns it off for recording in spite of all of your pleas, but this whole week) and he is GROUCHY. (Y'know, even more than usual. Duck and cover, Lt. Bazarewsky!)
We dig in nonetheless, analyzing the show's success/failure at establishing secondary characters, taking a look at an exciting Spore Drive duel that Matt missed, and wondering if Nhan beamed into the Admiral's office or just made a transporter sound with her mouth like that Police Academy guy.

I'm pretty sure my point was highjacked before I could clearly make it, but you're welcome to your "Team," Lt. Noye. And I agree it was a tough listen! Raw and unedited, beyond my control.
I love the fellas but the hail bag in this episode was a tough listen. I am definitely on "Team Matt" on now. Andy, you are lost in the weeds on this topic and you sound like you are trying to convince yourself rather than explain whatever you were trying to explain.
I guess the title Rubicon refers to crossing the river Rubicon, meaning coming to a point of no return. Not for the viewers though, as I saw this episode and realized I'm just not enjoying this, so I stopped watching. Not that this episode was any worse, I just don't usually like the buildup and finale of the new trek shows, and this seemed no different. Although I didn't like the beginning and middle of this season either. If I do pick it up again it will be because this podcast has caught up.
