I guess I don't see what the appeal is to RuPaul UK. It seems considerably worse than the US version for some odd reason, even though I like that the episodes are longer and the queens are more diverse.

The judging seems completely rigged, from Season 1 (which I disdained) to the first episode of this season. The top and bottom made absolutely no sense. This was purely a fashion challenge, so it should be much more apparent who should be in the top and bottom, unlike an acting or dancing challenge.

Yet, for some reason the judging seemed to be based on how much the production did or didn't want someone to win? It makes no sense. Also it seemed that they interntionally mis-represented the lipsynch at the end by making it look like one of the queens forgot the lines to the song by putting her performance at the wrong part of the song. Horrible.

This made me unsubscribe from the streaming service. If this is actually the best season of UK, no reason to bother watching anymore of it. This is so rigged you can already tell exactly who they "want" to win and who they don't.

This episode could be good but the execution is horrible!

First of all, how is saying "you've never been in love" something that "I could only know if I've been time traveling"? That doesn't even make sense. She didn't tell him some specific secret or life fact that ONLY she would know. Anyone could say "you've never been in love".

The way the time traveling is handled here is so confusing, not explained, and not executed well. It lacks the creativity of "Year of Hell" (Voy), the excitement of "Relativity" (Voy), and the proper pacing and fun of "Time's Arrow" (TNG).

Instead, we get to see them at a stupid party of over and over with one character blurting out that "we've been through this before!!!"

The pacing is all off. So much is lacking here. There is no proper build-up. They never really explain this whole "30 minute window" thing and how he was using a crystal to do all of this. There are no "ahah" moments or clever solutions like we saw in TNG's time travel. There was no suspense or sense of impending doom like we saw in VOY's good time travel episodes.

This one is a big fat stinker and is my least favorite S1 episode of Discovery.

I thought I would like this. It has so many of my favorite characters from the old shows including Picard and Seven.

But no. It's so so so bad. How can almost nothing of interest happen in a show for 10 whole hours? It's not slowly building the story/characters, it's just slow and nothing happens. The characters are bad. The dialogue is bad. The story is nonsense and the premise is terrible.

Episode 1 was okay, but after that it just kept getting worse. Every episode was another snoozefest of nothing happening. The same tired crud of old Picard rambling with another soulless character. The Romulan and his sister arguing again about how they are failures at their jobs and how he needs to stop making out with the robot girl (then proceeds to make out with her again, yay). A little action scene here and there. More about how Mars attack was bad, need to find the girl, Starfleet problems, mean admirals, blah blah. Tal Shiar bad. Picard sad about his life. Throw in a 5 minute cameo. Ughhhhhh.

There is no coherence to this story, no actual character development. Just boring, bland talking for hours and hours on end. This was truly PAINFUL to watch.

At least Discovery had some action and interesting scenes in its first few seasons. This has nothing. It's trash.

This episode progresses nicely and has a satisfying conclusion.

At first, we think that maybe there is some sort of temporal phenomenon causing people to suddenly lose hours of time, but we soon realize that instead the crew are being "abducted by aliens" and experimented on. The final 10 minutes of the episode is satisfying as we get to see the aliens and their experiments, then we're left wondering if they were simply curious or trying to find a way to study their future enemies and prepare for invasion.

Overall this is an entertaining episode.

Interesting concept in this episode about overcoming fear. The episode is well done until the end.

Why oh why are humans appearing as fat space worms? Why does Reg suddenly hug one of them? This made absolutely no sense.
