Works for me. I never saw those episodes of Enterprise and frankly can't be arsed to.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x04 - "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Exactly this.
I'll bet dollars to donuts that even if Voq doesn't end up being Ash Tyler, there will be a Klingon Augment spy on the Discovery this season.
Or an Arne Darvin type spy.
Your attempt to draw a distinction between "Core Arc Episodes" and "Xindi related but not core", I assume, in order to prove your point, is cute. The NX-01's mission when it entered the Expanse was to locate the Xindi homeworld and stop the possibility of another attack on Earth. So, since any of the episodes that touched on the Xindi were about obtaining information about the Xindi for the purpose of finding the Xindi, those episodes are a part of the season long arc.
Since your original post stated that 2/3 of the episodes were unrelated to the arc, you are a lot further off than you think.
We agree that these episodes are directly related to the arc:
The Xindi, The Shipment, Stratagem, Proving Ground, Azati Prime , Damage, The Forgotten, The Council, Countdown, Zero Hour .
Add to this list: Anomaly, Rajiin, Carpenter Street, Chosen Realm, Harbinger, Exile, Twilight, E2, Hatchery, all Xindi arc related.
Arguably related: Impulse.
The only 3 episodes not related at all to the arc: Similitude, Chosen Realm, North Star.
I know that on DS9 they said Darvin was "surgically altered" - but given what Enterprise later added to canon, it's almost certain that they just jumped to that conclusion given he was genetically Klingon but had a human appearance.
You really should, season 3 and 4 are great.
Nah, it's not worth slogging through the first two again just to get up to speed.
you could just read Memory-Alpha. Or brief summaries.
I watched season 3 and 4 without bothering to watch very much of season 1 and 2 as a refresher and didn't feel out of the loop. The augment storyline was pretty lame though. There was no need to explain the lack of ridges and it's all a bit contrived. Curse thee trekkies who couldn't take worf's offhand comment for what it was, a joke at our expense.
Thanks, that confirms my suspicions.
Just wait until 20 years from now there's a three-episode prequel arc set between Enterprise and Discovery explaining the "shushing Klingon."
Three? Please, season long arc.
Nothing short of a full length movie would suffice. Star Trek Nemeshush, anyone???
Neither could anyone on the entire crew of the Shenzhou, since the evidence was determined to be inconclusive.

Yes. Someone, likely Saru or even Burnham took the telescope from the Shenzhou during the evacuation since they knew it was of immense personal value to the captain and her family. The crew probably evacuated with anything of value they could take with them. They returned the telescope to Georgiou's family, and once Georgiou's will was read it was found to say something like "give the following message and the telescope to Michael Burnham". Seems pretty straight forward.

Except you know the Science officer who Burnham pushed out of the way because she thought she could do better.

I could see T'Pol appearing at some point.
T'Pol would be nice to see as an aging Vulcan matriarch. Jolene would be a welcome sight as her old character and it'd be fun to see how she'd interpret T'Pol more than a century after we last saw her (not counting the holodeck recording of her in "TATV..."). As a character who saw both Earth's first steps as a galactic power and the birth of the Federation her perspective on the hostilities with the Klingons would be interesting.
