My query went unanswered, but implied elsewhere that’s the time.0 replies0 retweets0 likesReply Retweet Like View Tweet activity J ⏺|\| |\/|/\ ▶️se|\| @rexbasior 2h2 hours agoMoreReplying to @rexbasiorWhile waiting, I burnt my tongue on the first hot chocolate of the season. #StarTrekDiscovery0 replies0 retweets0 likesReply Retweet Like View Tweet activity

I sure hope Saru becomes at least competent and not just anxious.
Will half of this episode be the shuttlecraftless flyby?
I suppose now that I'm subscribed to CBS, I'll need to withstand a bunch of Young Sheldon commercials.
They're turning the torchbearer into the mummy. Oh, there's the Klingon death yell. Haven't seen that in a while.
Flashback! Sweet Vulcan haircut on Mike. Plus yet another Sarek actor!
Best outfit: Mike's Leeloo outfit in the burn ward.
One crewmember seems to be a member of Daft Punk with "Red Alert" flashing on the helmet.
I need a future historian to confirm the existence of Klingon cloaking technology in 2256.
Oh wait. His hand is in the fire. You know nothing Voq Targaryen.
First albino Klingon? Perhaps most don't last through childhood.
Death sensor! There's a plus to the Saru character!
"Admiral Princess Leia Organa on the blockade runner smuggling a message to a droid"
The sound weapon has a mute button option for the victims?
The Vulcan hello is shooting first. Vulcans have been getting lamer every decade.
Okay I called that nerve pinch. Also, the first successful human neck pinch in Star Trek history? You better have a goooood reason, MIke.
More commercials. I sure hope there are vampires in that new Seal Team show with Boreanaz.
OH THAT'S HOW IT ENDS? K. Battle a'comin. EVERYONE UNMUTE ME NOW! or UNFOLLOW ME IF YOU ARE ONLY IN IT FOR STAR TREK! #StarTrekDiscovery
