Hi everyone,  I haven’t got through all the episodes yet but I’ve been Googling and obvious been hitting up Tumblr so now I have a few questions. That I might as well throw out there! 

Some write up’s for the show say Carmen (Miguel’s mom) is Johnny’s girlfriend. Did I totally miss that?

Seriously, I think that Kreese has PTSD from the Vietnam war! If not still now  then definitely back in the original movies!

So Johnny, and Miguel have a father son relationship where will Robby fit in to this?

Season 2 are we going to meet Miguel’s father? How will Johnny fit into that dynamic?

A full blown triangle between Robby, Miguel and Samantha Larusso for season 2? I’m old! so that’s kinda boring from  my point of view.

Well, now I understand why it sometimes seemed as if Lorca were flirting with Micheal and other times seemed quite paternal.

Lets be honest. The use of the word “groomed” conjures up a horrible emotional  response! And was chosen specifically by the script writers for that purpose!

There was also a very specific reason Georgiou used the word too. Perhaps she’s telling the truth? Or it’s just her perception? Perhaps Lorca  genuinely fell in love with a young woman? Or perhaps it was a non scuzzy evolving love?

Lorca, is definitely shady we all knew that! But yuk hopefully not shady like that!

I’m just not sure now! Initially, I thought Lorca captained as bit of papa bear in general at least with some crew members. (Authoritative but slightly softer than Picard and Janeway).

At one point I thought Lorca might even have been Micheal’s biological father (apparently, I was the only one!) I’ve (almost, completely) abandoned that theory now!

Okay, I’m willing to believe that the only Lorca we’ve been introduced to is from the MU. Am I totally wrong does he have some sort of romantic feelings for “our/prime” Micheal?  I’ve  read some brilliant “for pieces” but I feel like based on the script/actor choices. How the viewer receives it is ultimately subjective.

Some people have referenced the seen where Lorca tells Tyler to bring Micheal back without a scratch or not too come back as a nod to a more personal stake in her well being but equally, he could have been letting Ash know he has faith in his skills, after all they had just come back from the Klingon fight simulation.

Calling, you out Penguin! But in a nice way! :) I didn’t get jealously from Lorca regarding Micheal’s relationship with Tyler. (If it turns out I’m wrong great because I actually think that a Micheal/Lorca dynamic could be really interesting, fun, twisty and dark)

Finally, the end scene between Lorca and Micheal in ep. 11 was very sweet but so far I think I’m still leaning towards Lorca having a practical/strategic interest in Micheal as a pose to one based on “significant personal feelings”. 

I’m really beginning to enjoy Star Trek: Discovery after in my opinion a pretty slow start.

Now, I have some questions and thoughts

We all agree that Ash Tyler is the Klingon Voq? The hideous flashbacks are actually his transformation into Tyler.

Tyler, is  primarily fighting  his Voq personality because he’s in love with Michael and “found peace”. Whatever, happens how will Shazad Latif be able too stick around long-term?

Hi Damnation fans,

Working the Goggle I came across two recaps for episode Five to be screened this coming Thursday 12/14.

Check ‘em out if you’re interested? (That is if they’re still available!)

Hi everyone,

I recently got into Damnation on USA and noticed that it won’t air the States next week. Instead it will return on Thursday the 14th of  Dec. 

I’m not is the States and don’t know if it airs anywhere else. Does anyone know if it airs in Canada too? If so will they skip a week too? Is the season  available on Netflix’s? 

There is a lot to respect about Shonda Rimes. Even though I’ve never been a huge fan of her shows. Grey’s Anatomy had/has it’s moments. I was over Scandal by season two, I simply never got into HTGWM. (And the Shondaland trailer for her new show about  lawyers looks seriously blah! IMO!)

I did come to like Still Star Crossed but I get it some shows don’t chime with the majority and that’s fine. However, shouldn’t Shonda or more accurately the company “Shondaland” at least have had the decency to tell us the viewer that SSC wasn’t being picked up for season 2? Or whether they were looking for a new distributor? Did ABC ever respond to any of the numerous tweets they got?

Okay, so I’m still a Paris/Livia fan! And I don’t even feel bad about it! (It’s not as if I’m rooting for a real life couple!)

Granted, Paris’ one redeeming quality is his love for Livia (albeit, it’s possessive and twisted!) Admittedly, she’s probably tied to a chair in a very nice room awaiting his return while Paris hopes she develops some form of Stockholm Syndrome.)

In short it I think it’s fair to say the cheese has firmly slid off the Count’s cracker.

Personally, I think Paris and Livia have most interesting relationship on Still Star Crossed. Had there been a second season I think we probably would have seen Paris genuinely fall in love with Livia. But in-spite of what he said to Rosalind I don’t think he’s in love with her (yet) but I honestly don’t know! I don’t think Paris realised Lady Capulet was there when he first kissed Livia! Or when he stole that kiss before riding off to track down Rosvolio.

I’m (finally) enjoying Still Star Crossed (Personally, I’ve found some of the episodes can drag in places). I live abroad so I can’t comment on what seems to be the consensus that show wasn’t/under promoted. Or as some have mentioned on the wrong network it does come across more as more of a CW show but I guess Shondaland is affiliated with ABC?

But, on point are we (or you the American/Canadian) audience having any luck getting the show a real reprieve? Has a big network ever changed it’s mind about a show? I know Sense Eight is getting a real end but isn’t that on a Netflix a minority channel? With a direct interest in keeping subscribes happy.

Honestly, Paris is an absolute snake! Apparently, he’s a power hungry pawn of Lady Capulet, who specifically blames Rosalind and the entire Montague family for Juliet’s death.

But is he an absolute snake? I believe that when he first  clapped eyes on Livia he was sincerely grateful (and attracted) too her for saving his life. I believe that when Livia walked bloodied into the basement Paris was genuinely concerned about her safety (even if he did know how and what had actually happened!)

He absolutely manipulated Livia in ep. 4. But, Lady Capulet called it...”you seem disappointed I’m not my niece”...”the girl is pleasing enough”...

I think the way Livia sees Paris is going to change the way he sees himself. So far she completely trusts him and as snaky as he is I’m just guessing that he’s going to avoid proactively hurting her. She’s the unaccounted for element in the Paris/Lady Capulet plan! 

I have no idea if anyone will be able to see this post let alone read it but if someone does...
