Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x06 - "Whistlespeak"

Has it been that long since Enterprise was cancelled? Time really flies.

 

It would explain your post count.

 

More time has passed between today and ENT's finale than there had between ENT's finale and TNG's premiere.

 

When has any of that been integral to the story?

 

Since season 1.

 

People are complaining about how Tilly was able to finish the race. Fine. I would posit that she is a HUMAN taking part of an ALIEN race. How do we know how each metabolizes water, etc? I think to attack her on grounds that she is overweight doesn't hold any substance. I think we would really have to nerd dive into and determine what the alien vs human physiology is before making any affirmative statements about it.

BTW, I thought the episode was filler at best and am not impressed. I'm interested in the Breen.

 

Most of us don't care and the few who do aren't going to be reasoned with on this matter.

 

My biggest compliant is that the xenoanthropologist couldn't get from the context clues several things about the culture and still asked ignorant questions. Also, Tilly couldn't do the same about the race and its ending. It was fairly obvious that they sacrificed themselves.

 

Isn't this a rather perniciously negative trope: the civilized person who is able to beat natives at their own games?

 

Maybe but how many viewers care is another question. James Cameron's Avatar movies made billions of dollars based solely on this trope.

 

Was not obvious to me.

And speaking of Dr. Culbert's Abuela: https://www.technologyreview.com/20...usiness-grief/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

 

Dr Culber's side story was interesting to me.

 

And not after season 2.

 

Tilly may be from a higher gravity world...

(Maybe the in universe excuse for the shift in her appearance has to do with her new job being set some place with a much lower gravity?)

...So she's three times stronger and faster the natives, or maybe her lungs haven't been shredded since birth by her birth planet turning to bullshit?

 

Disagree. Especially with her relationship with Georgiou, and how she forms relationships.
