Hi, I just found this comm and thought I’d share a post-2x05 fic I wrote.

With slightly less delay this time - let's discuss the last episode!
[Spoilers inside obviously.]

I am very sorry for completely forgetting to make this post, multiple days in a row! v_v
(By the way, if anyone else feels the need to discuss episodes and there's no post up yet, feel free to make one yourself! Just use the appropriate tags when you do, please.)
Anyway, discuss away!
[Spoilers in here as usual.]
P.S.: No big news today, except that if you haven't been spoiled already and don't want to risk it, maybe be careful and stay away from social media or articles with preview images. I've been told that there's a pretty huge spoiler for the next episode circulating.

So that last episode was kind of Klingon-heavy and didn't have as much action for our Discovery-crew ... or lots of Space Boos goodness, unfortunately.
But still - discussions are welcome!
[Spoiler warnings as usual.]
P.S.: Not Culmets, but yesterday's episode of Carpool Karaoke features our beloved Disco cast members Sonequa, Anthony, Doug and Mary W. - and it's amazing! You can find it on iTunes or in the Apple TV app if you have Apple Music. (You can also use the free 3-month trial for this if you haven't yet.)

Okay, let's try this again ...
Episode 2 is out and it's a great one, if you haven't watched it yet you should get to that as soon as you can!
Sadly we didn't get a lot of new Culmets content this week, but there was still a lot of cool stuff in this episode! So - discuss away!
[As usual, spoilers for the new episode in here, obviously.]
P.S.: If you haven't seen the new season premiere yet and/or don't have CBS All Access, apparently you can stream episode 1 for free on CBS's YouTube channel here (if you're in the US).

Sooo ... The first episode of the new season has aired, and I hope we're all hyped and excited for what we've gotten and what's yet to come.
So - let's talk! What did you guys think? What did you like? What not so much? Any speculations for what might happen next? Let's discuss!
[Warning: There will obviously be spoilers in there.]
P.S.: Not Culmets-related, but a little heads-up for international viewers: All 4 Short Treks can now be found on Netflix under the "trailers & more" section for Discovery. Just in case anyone didn't know yet.
Also, After Trek has been discontinued and will be replaced by a Facebook Live show starting after next week's episode. (source)

Happy New Year to all of you guys!
It's been very quiet in here lately but let's hope that this will change once season 2 starts - which is less than 2 weeks away now!
Maybe you've seen those already but a set of 4 new promo posters has been released for season 2 - including one of Hugh Culber and Paul Stamets:

The rest of the posters as well as a few more new promo shots of various characters can be found here on trekmovie.com. (Depending on how sensitive you are about spoilers or knowing things beforehand, maybe tread with caution.)

concept: paul visits hugh in the mycelial network while he's working on getting him back. but time runs weirdly in the network, so sometimes it's just hours since hugh has seen paul for the last time, sometimes it's weeks, and on one occasion it's even a few months
and the more often paul visits via jumping, the more often he also appears there in dreams. when he comes via jumping, he's physically tangible for hugh, and hugh usually spends the whole visit in paul's arms, seeking out his touch and his warmth, because the network is cold. when paul comes in his dreams, hugh can't touch him, and the look of yearning on hugh's face breaks paul's heart over and over.
hugh also starts appearing in the real world, just as ghostlike as paul is when he dreamwalks in the network. it's the only time hugh starts feeling some kind of warmth again, and he's desperate for it

This place has been quiet lately. So let's change that!
Season 2 of Discovery is just over a month away and the actors and creators have already confirmed numerous times that our beloved Hugh Culber will come back thanks to the magic (or science) of fungi. So now that the space boos are finally going to be reunited, what things are you looking forward to or wishing for in the upcoming episodes, for Culmets or just for Hugh or Paul in general?
For example, I'd love to see:
What about you guys?

For example, I'd love to see:
- Hugs! Please let them hug!
- both of them on a mission together, maybe something like the traditional "exploring an unknown planet" Trek episodes we all know and love
- Hugh finally getting promoted to CMO as he should be
- just learning more about both of them as characters in general, especially Hugh, because he was such a minor character in S1
What about you guys?
