Spoilers Season 5 Episode Preview Thread

Nice!

 

Sneak peek for episode 6

 

This one was boring.

 

Not sure what you want me to do about it, I don't make the sneak peeks.

 

Not blaming you.

 

Could you fix it in post?

 

I was hoping with a name like whistlespeak we'd like see cetacean ops or something, but it's just another pre-contact planet.

 

The One Line Hint for the episode describes it as a "classic, TOS style adventure."

 

Oh no, not that backwards planet trope.

 

It could be Whistle's Peak rather than whistle speak.

 

"Whistlespeak"? So...not a story about sentient whistle pig aliens living underground??? Pity.

 

Monday in DC

 

This has got me thinking maybe something big happens in episode 6. Seems odd that they would do a special advanced screening for what appears to be a run-of-the-mill planet of the week episode.

 

Really, they are limiting the sets, possibly to make something pretty expensive later. Well, the episode after "Whistlespeak" is called "Erigah" and now we know what that means, so it could be action-heavy.

 

Add to that, Wil Wheaton's Ready Room next week is Kurtzman, and at the end of this week's RR, Wil says they'll talk about "Discovery and maybe even more" (paraphrased)... Something is definitely coming...

 

This was filtering through my perception as well. Something is up.

 

I clocked that, too. They wouldn't be bringing out Kurtzman mid-season like this, along with the sudden 506 red carpet affair in DC, if this was just another run-of-the mill episode.

Looks like we're revisiting the planet from TNG Thine Own Self, which has had no real technological advancement in 800 years.
