Starfleet vs. Control (Ship Scenes Only) | Star Trek: Discovery

There's no way that they held what looks to be nearly 100 small craft within the bays of two ships

Star Trek shields usualy: One sneeze and they are gone. Star Trek shields when you run out of a plot: Survive minutes of uninterruped fire.

This felt more like a star wars battle to me

Its so iconic to see the classic version of the enterprise weapon.on the show.

Surrounded by shuttles and drones reminds me of the final battle in ender's Game

Is this the most action packed episode in Star Trek? I can't think of another one with this much action. It was none stop from beginning to end.

Finally proper phaser beams

"Sir! Our logic emitters are down!" "Forget about them, focus on our rule of cool arrays!"

Still love the fact that Control, an AI, either A) Didn't concentrate fire on just the Enterprise, blow it up within a few minutes leaving only the Discovery and B) Didn't aim that super/mega/big torpedo simply at the Enterprises Bridge.

4:05 pew pew pew pew pew. Lol. What IS that mess?

Everybody is saying it looked like Star Wars (newsflash, Star Wars was not the only franchise to show dense space battles but oh well). This really felt more like a Battlestar Galactica battle with all the dense fire and point defense. I think that this is what Deep Space Nine would have done for the Dominion battles if they had the resources to do so. I sometimes find Trek battles a bit too cut and dry - ship A fires at ship B, Ship B returns fire and back and forth it goes for a couple of volleys. And at least for once the damned shields were working, sometimes Star Trek forgets about that.

3:56 the enterprise looked like the USS Mayflower from Star Trek 2009

Can you imagine pulling the SFX team & Matt Jeffries into a screening theater 6 months after the last episode of TOS when they thought that was just a show and they were onto the next one.. show them just this and tell them this is what would become of their labors.. how would they react?

I would've loved to see DS9, TNG AND VOYAGER with the Discovery cgi budget, Omg 😱

I have to imagine that, in a situation like this where a larger ship has a protective swarm of smaller ships, the larger ship is effectively unarmed. Firing on the enemy is just as, if not more, likely to hit your own side.

one of the very few moments I actually had fun watching this show.

NO OTHER STARFLEET SHIP WOULD TAKE THE TYPE FO BEATING WHEN THE AUTOMATED PHOTON TORPEDO BLEW FOUR DECKS WIDE OF THE SHIP IT SURVIVED NOW THATS A TRUE POWERFUL FEDARATION SHIP

damn those shields can take a beating!

Really cool yet so dumb also... All this battle seemed to me was an attempt to compete with star wars visuals... And that was never trek

That’s plot armor for ya
