Vanishing crewmen

[BillJ]

how dare they contradict how you take it.

Not sure they really thought it through. They may have had one idea, but it ended up playing very differently. Unless Saru is some kind of telepath, he wouldn't know Burnham isn't on that shuttle. On the other hand, he knows what is going on aboard Discovery, he knows how "above top secret" (which is dumb) it all is. It is very easy for the audience to come to the conclusion that something is going to happen to the shuttle passengers. As we see here that lots of people have.

Aaron Harberts confirmed it was just Saru sensing Burnham wasn't on the ship on After Trek, too.

Oh cool, I did read that scene correctly.

I was half expecting the shuttle to blow up before it went to warp, but back to the montage I do got that it was representing the passage of time. Seen it done plenty of times before.

I was too. As for him sensing Burnham, well he was watching the shuttle, so the clear and obvious meaning was that death (or danger) was about to happen to it. At least that's how I took it.

Now had the ganglia gone up as soon as Burnham entered the room and not while he was watching the shuttle, that would have been a different story.

As for the other point, I don't watch a lot of movies/shows, so I hadn't run across the fade-out before to show the passage of time. Learn something new every day.

 

[Noname Given]

Yeah, given the nature of what has been set up in the show - that time lapse sequence WAS confusing. Everyone I was watching it with went WTF? Is some experiment/anomaly occurring and we had to pause and rewind and then most of us noticed - oh. the time stamp on her display changed - this is a sequence to show time passing as she concentrates.

But on first watch that was clear as mud.

Exactly.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

It was just a badly directed/edited time lapse scene.

*checks episode’s director*

No wonder. They should watch the glorious ending of Star Trek Beyond to learn how to properly do a time lapse!
