8 Things that happened during Star Trek Discovery episode 8
One — I forgot it was on because I was watching Stranger Things, which is awesome. When I finally did remember and fought myself to turn STD on, I sighed. All the goodwill STD bought last week was immediately gone. If nothing else, the drop in storytelling competency between Stranger Things and Star Trek Discovery is jarring.
Two — Fifteen minutes in, the person with whom I was watching the show breaks the awkward silence with “God, this show is so boring.” This person hasn’t watched since the pilot.
Three — The Klingons were back, front and center. This is not a good thing.

Five — They ripped off the Organians. C’mon.
Six — Kol, House of Kor. This is not a good thing.
